Health & Fitness > Depression Depression: A disease of the mind: 4 of 25
The best way to describe depression is to call it a dark blanket, loosely woven, tied onto you on a hot day; as the blanket is secured around you, you are aware of the smothering, sweltering THING that is you trapped inside something that only lets the smallest amount of external stimuli in.. just enough to keep you functioni...

Religion & Spirituality > Religious Speculations & Criticisms Do you think that most people that pray only pray when they need God?: 5 of 27
It would be hard to give a "yes" or "no" answer to this question because there are so many different types of people in the world who believe different ways and show their affections different ways.I think that most people who pray consciously do so at all times. By "pray consciously" I mean those people who actually say out ... More..
Pets & Animals > Dog Breeds How to raise Pit Bulls as pets: 8 of 36
My Pitt is a sweetie, but I have no illusions as to how he could change in an instant. Of course, that goes for ANY animal, no matter what species or breed. I have an iguana who was very sweet and gentle until a few weeks ago, when he became violent and actually bit a member of my family.Anytime one owns an animal, it is up t... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Conforming to society: The cookie cutter theory: 4 of 18
I know about the cookie cutter theory and what it implies. I just don't believe that people HAVE to conform, however, there are some who do think one does in order to feel good about themselves. I speak of people who feel disgusted with themselves or ashamed because they haven't been to college or they don't have a model-perf... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife What happens after we die?: 17 of 53
A personal question; my personal answer - you either meet the Lord or you meet Satan, depending on the state of your soul.Some people might say that Heaven/Hell are just another part of a myth called Christianity. I personally think and feel, in my heart, that Heaven is real and there for those of us who have faith in the Lor... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms 10 things you would like to say to a rude customer: 17 of 46
Only ten... okay. Just kidding, but we should really be nicer to people who have to deal with the public. I used to work with the public, and it was no picnic. Here's a SHORT list of what I wished I could say to some of the more rude ones:1) I hear what you are saying, I just don't care.2) No, my manager isn't here, but I'll ... More..

Should there be an argument about spanking your child? Absolutely NOT. There is a major difference between spanking and child abuse. If a parent cannot tell the difference, that's when they should be getting into trouble. Handled properly, spanking is a perfectly acceptable form of discipline.Those who are against spanking wi...

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Self-harming and the reasons behind it: 8 of 20
I used to cut myself just so I would feel some pain that I had control over. The world seemed to much for me, and I did the one thing that I knew only I could have a say in.There are many different ways to harm one's self, though... although we don't realize the many forms it takes. Some of us turn to food for comfort, instea... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Should trust be free or earned?: 18 of 41
In a perfect world, it would be free. No one would hurt anyone else by lying or stealing or doing anything else that would damage a relationship with the person that trusted them. Since we don't live in a perfect world, humanity is broken down into different sections by the way they deal with trusting others.One type of perso... More..
Relationships & Family > Love & Lust Is love enough: 10 of 21
Is love enough? NO WAY. NO HOW. NEVER. You can love someone until the day you die, and after, but love isn't going to make you respect that person; nor does love grant trust, faith, or happiness with that person.Respect is earned...love isn't. Have you EVER heard anyone say "Respect at first sight" ? If you have, it's probabl... More..
