It is something, this relationship between religion and the dead; I wonder at the various ways in which we deal with death, the passing of loved ones, and how our beliefs affect this. Death was always something purposely remote in my upbringing; the Christianity I was raised with dismissed death, as it was believed that, for the believer, there was ultimately no death. As a result, we did not remember the dead much, once the passing of grief was accomplished. Cemeteries were neglected, no real reminiscences were held.
Having left behind Christianity, I am meditating more these days on the lives passed, and thinking of their relation to me, their meaning to my life. I have two things that I believe strongly about death: the only true comfort to be gleaned in the wake of a loved one's passing is in knowing that one was a part of that life, a good, loved, appreciated part. We are comforted in knowing that we were valuable to that person, that we made their lives a little better for our being in it.
The other thing I hold as true is that what we truly miss in a loved one's passing is the person we were with that person, the person that they allowed us to be. A loved one provides a mirror, you see, and the reflection we see of ourselves in the interaction with that loved one gives us definition. With these things in mind, I look back and reflect, and miss the loved ones past, and think of the person I was to them, to their lives.
Two people fill my thoughts at this time of year, this time of remembering the dead:
My brother Jeff died less than a month after his 21st birthday. I cannot help but think of how much in awe I was of him. I felt so much inadequacy, because he was so obviously a person of merit, a person who impressed himself on the lives of others. I was, in comparison, rather a let-down. I was unsure and hesitant, most often a embarrassment to him and to his friends. There was only a year between the two of us, but he was exactly what everyone his age wanted to be: good-looking and smart, confident, brash, charismatic, athletic, a person who was sure that the world was his, and who would go and get it, his due. Had he lived, his success was almost assured.
As it turned out, he died, and I am left, still fairly much a let-down; age does not decrease one's power to disappoint. I regret that he could not have survived to perhaps have lent me some of his strength; I might have done much more.
The other person I will not name; I miss them, but with no regrets. For all the hurt involved with this person, they left me with an invaluable gift: For one time in my life, for a little while, I knew what it felt like to feel I was the most important person in another's life. No matter what pain involved, no matter what humiliation I may have suffered, I have carried away from that relationship this gift, and I owe it all to this person, now dead, now only in my thoughts.
It is important, I think, to remember people, the bad as well as the good; a collage needs many different shades and forms to form beauty, you see.
Well, these have been my remembrances. Do you take time to remember the dead? If so, how do you remember them? What are the things that comfort you from their memory? How do your beliefs shape such things, and have your views on such things as commemorating the dead changed over the years?
Thank you for your answers.
Do you take time to remember the dead?
This is one of the best questions I've ever seen on Y!A. I thought I was the only person who did/wondered about this.
To answer, YES, I do remember the dead, and I consider remember to be a verb in this example. By this I mean that I spend time actively reviewing things the person did, said, and experienced. I treasure these memories because they are unique, they are mine alone, and I do not ever want to forget them. The way we remember our memories is to continually review them in our mind's eye.
Now, WHY is this so important to me. Because I lost my closest friend in the world when I was 22. We were like brothers. He was only 33, and died of a heart attack, literally on the floor in front of me. The ONLY thought I can take comfort in regarding this event is that at least I was there with him as it happened, and he did not die alone. He was unconscious, so I do not know if he was aware of my presence, but I like to think he was.
My friend was a genius who shared all he knew, and all he had, with everyone around him. He was the most selfless person I've ever known, and unfortunately, because he was overweight, he did not have many friends. This is another reason I honor his memory as often as possible... because I had the privilege to know such an amazing person that so many others ignored or ridiculed.
I also remember my father's father, because he was a big part of my childhood, but the memories are more vague and distant, so it's is harder, but I try.
Beyond simply remembering these people, I go one step further... I embrace some of their personal beliefs and try to impart them to others around me. In this way, I can continue to exert their unique influence on the world even though they are gone.
Do you take time to remember the dead?
I do. Every week my church (Episcopal) says a prayer for them. We always have. Every night I think about the people I've lost.
Yes. My grandmother often comes to my thoughts when I pray. So I ask her often to pray for me and others. It is a blessing.
Not seeing them does not mean they are not still here.
May the peace of the lord be with you.
Often... In various ways. From organizations I donate to around the holidays and the birthday of one, to the roses I fuss over all summer. Two very old ones that were my grandmother's, uprooted and brought home before their old house was sold. And a third that I planted for someone else. The final buds of the season are now inside so they have a chance to bloom. Lots of reminders.
i pray for the dead daily and remember mine frequently. In the nicene creed we look for the ressurection of the dead. i pray for the souls of my parents. Everyone in my family is gone ,i am an only child.. i love my children, but they have families of their own, they include me but you know what i mean. so i have a lot of time to remember their lives. I think i was meant to return to the church because of my disconnection and it has been a comfort to me. ironically everyone we pray to in our minds is dead except God..go figure.
I pray for my related dead, and the dead, on a daily basis.
It is something that I feel I should do as a Christian. I am in constant prayer for two of my deceased brothers who were in law enforcement. My prayers focus on rest for their souls and that their lives and service to society was not in vain.
I also pray for all my relatives, and long decease ancestors. The blood of my ancient people, runs through my veins, why should I not take time to pray for them?
Also in my prayers are requests to keep safe the souls of friends who have been kind to me in this life, and are now deceased.
There is no obligation by any one for me to do this. I do so because it comforts me and I feel that you must not forget a fellow human being, just because they have past on from this life.
I would like to think that when it is my time and I am gone from this Earth, that someone, whether it be family or a friend, would remember me in their prayers also.
Yes.Especially this time of year.I am a Wiccan High Priest and as you may know )ct. 31 Is Samhain (sowen).It is Celtic New Year,Last Harvest until May,The cyclical death of our God and the year and a time when we feel the veil between this world and the next are the thinnest.It is a time when we welcome our dead back to this world.We set out a plate of food for them and in some case write thier name and maybe a message on paper and toss it in the fire.As a Wiccan High Priest it is my job to write and perform this ritual for other Pagans And Wiccans in my community.While we do mourn our dead we also celebrate as we believe in reincarnation and death is like moving to the next lesson.We do not rush death (we are not a death cult or anything) I am just talking as it happens.Death to my religion is just part of a cycle of life death and re-birth that we all must face at some point.I must comment on missing the person you were around the departed Very Deep and Caring and True,Thanks for sharing that.Respect and Regards Mike the Witch
in my family, we often reminisce on those we've lost, but i don't give them nearly as much time as i should.
i don't forget people that i have known that are now passed on i am a christian and it got nothing to do with the bible but i go to the cemetery and plant flowers on my parents grave i know they are not spiritually there but i feel close to them there probably because this is the last place i saw them physically i dont mourn them to the point it interfers with my life i miss them and wish i could share things in my life with them but i know i will see them again in heaven so that is a good feeling my ma would have wanted the flower planting i know because when she was living she and i planted together on my dads grave she was big into tradition so this would put a smile on her face (me carrying on the tradition) it also is a sign of honoring them(to me)
That part about missing %26quot;the person they allowed us to be%26quot; is beautiful. Those particular reflections of myself are gone to ghosts and whispers - to speak in dreams.
Hey bebe! I like to remember all the good bits about the people I've lost, mate. Those memories literally are the after-life, buddy! So keep remembering!
((((Jack))))
I agree with our Gaz :)
In my family, we never go to cemeteries, we prefer to remember our loved ones at home, any day of the year, talking about them, telling old stories, looking at old pictures, cooking the foods the liked...
We also enjoy visiting places that were important to them, or to our lives together, like an old neighbourhood or cities where they used to live, and to show these places to the younger members of the family, and tell them stories about their grandparents and other family members and old friends.
Thank you for the beautiful question, and for the memories, my friend!!
((((((Jack %26amp; family)))))))
Like the people who raised you, I believe that the people in my life who have passed have gone from death into life. Thus, I do not visit their graves or hold what you call %26quot;real reminiscences%26quot;. There is little point in dressing up a grave. My loved ones are not there.
But, like you, I do treasure the memories of the people in my life who have gone on before me.
I am sorry to hear of the loss of your brother...so young, and so promising! And also sad to hear you compare yourself so unfavorably to him!! Humilty is a beautiful trait...but it can be %26quot;overdone%26quot;.
Anyhow, may God bless you, my friend...and every life you will touch as you pass through this vale of tears!!
You have surely touched mine this day!
I definitely do. In fact, when the mother of my adopted children died, your answer on here was one of the things that got me through it. I remember her everyday I look at my children. She lives on in them and in my heart.
i'm disappointed in you for thinking you are a disappointment. i mean really, jack, come on...
Jack, what you've written here demonstrates to me that you are touching, incredibly brave, admirable, humble, and contemplative. I can't imagine you being a disappointment to anyone, unless their standards are that you must be able to walk on water.
So far in my life I've lost all four of my grandparents and one cousin. I hadn't seen any of them in over a decade. I haven't felt a loss of someone close to me and I am, admittedly terrified of the prospect. I know there will come a day when I will not be able to send a text message to my mother, or send my dad a birthday card. I think I would simply fall apart into a blubbering mass of unidentifiable pulp if I lost my brother or my husband. I sat and cried when I heard about Debra M, and I'd never actually met her.
So to answer your question, I haven't felt the sting of death so close yet, so I haven't instituted any commemorations. So while I cannot empathize with you, I send you my deepest sympathies and warm thoughts.
((Jack))
alittle late to pray
no
Wow Mr. Jack, you must have done some serious thinking while you were away. An awe inspiring post. Thank you!
Hun, I could write a mini novel on this subject. I am in my mid-fifties. The buffer between myself and the unknown is slowly drifting away. I have always felt parents were meant to be a protective wall between children and death. Sadly, it doesn't always work out that way. It seems we lose a family member in my parents generation monthly. So yes, I have been thinking about death and remembering my loved ones who have passed away.
We have a very close family. There are many who helped mold my life. I also lost my brother when he was young. There were three of us. He was the best of us. Physically beautiful, talented, kind and loving. I suppose the deceased members I miss the most are my maternal grandmother and my younger brother.
I truly believe when our loved ones die they take a piece of our heart to the grave with them. However, I feel they live on through their sweet memories which fill the void where the tiny piece of heat is missing.
What a lovely post. Yes, I often think about my loved ones who have passed away. I try not to remember them with sadness but treasure the wonderful things they did in life. I also cherish the love we shared.

November rain : Is it also raining for you?
Are you agree with this song?
Did you know these feelings in yours relationship?
Did you live these situation once in your life?
Guns 'N Roses November Rain Lyrics
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
Nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time...on my
own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
Nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
November rain : Is it also raining for you?
this song pretty much screams my life at this point in time
November rain : Is it also raining for you?

HELP!!! My SISTER is treating me like she's my MOM!?
Okay, so I'm 15 years old. I have 3 older sisters, one's 26, one's 23, and one's 19. The 23 year old graduated from college about 2 years ago and has been living at home since then, while she's applying to medical school. The 26 year old is married and lives in Boston. The 19 year old is in college and comes home every wknd. So it's just my mom %26amp; dad, me %26amp; my 23 year old sister, who's name is Sarah. So, all of us have noticed that Sarah has been snappy for a while, but my mom %26amp; dad kind of just let it go, bc they think she's just stressed about getting into med school. What they don't realize, is that since she can't snap at my mom or dad, or any of my other sisters bc they aren't at home that much, she's left with me to put her moodswings on. Now, at first it was bearable, bc she would just say little things that weren't that nice, but I'd just let it go. But then she started getting bossy. Which, I'm used to being bossed, I'm the youngest in the family, I don't mind it. But when she bossed it was about things in MY life. For example, she's comment on how I acted or things I did in my life everyday, saying how I should change my habits. And the things she commented on weren't even of concern to my mom, it wasn't like I was doing things that were out of place or something. And my 19 yr-old sister even noticed it, when she came home on the wknds, so I knew I wasn't just imagining it. So, I tried to just lay off of the things I said to Sarah, bc it was like if I said anything that she could take as an insult, even if it was a joke and my other sisters wouldn't be offended by it, then she would just go off on me. It helped a little, but not for long. So, I confronted her about it.I said she was acting like she was my mother. And she slapped me. Haha, if that doesn't prove my point, what does, right? And I'd told my mom about how she bossed me around before, but she didn't used to believe me, bc I was the younger one. Afer my sister slapped me i told my mom and finally to did believe me. So, after that, my sister did stop bossing me around mostly. But I don't think I'll ever forget that she slapped me, especially since the reason why she slapped me was so inexcusable. But recently, it's started again. She's bossing me around, she always has bad mood swings. PLEASE HELP ME! WHAT DO I DO????????????/
HELP!!! My SISTER is treating me like she's my MOM!?
mmm... I know y'all are in the same house...but just do your best to stay out of her way. Play in your room or outside. If your other sisters are home, stay with them. After a while she'll come to you and she'll be much nicer!
HELP!!! My SISTER is treating me like she's my MOM!?
relax, then just pretend that she is mom.
say %26quot;yes mom%26quot; when she is bossing. and maybe you 2 will argue. so maybe you don't need to follow this.
dude, don't put up with her crap, if it was me she slapped i woulda punched her lights out, sister or not, stand up for yourself, don't let her walk over you like that or it will keep happening
Tell your Mom again what is going on. Do not argue with your sister. When she starts up leave the room get away from her. When you argue with people all you are doing is hurting each others feelings and saying and doing things you would not normally do.
You might tell your sister she owes you an apology for slapping you. Better yet try this write your sister a letter telling her how you feel sometimes a visual can help. Include in your letter that you love her and you want the two of you get along. It can't hurt anything to try.
I promisee this situation will get better time will cure it.

Pride and Prejudice
It has been said by Roland Barthes that “Literature is the question minus the answer.” Jane Austen’s novel, Pride and Prejudice, poses many questions to the individual about societal and political dogma. The questions posed in Pride and Prejudice help the reader to understand the purpose and message Austen is trying to convey through her literary work. Without some of the central themes, the novel, in my opinion, would be dry and unimportant. One of the central themes, pride, is crucial to the understanding of the novel. The definition of pride as stated by www.dictionary.com is a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc; however, the question throughout Pride and Prejudice is what Jane Austen’s definition of pride is. Does Austen view pride as a positive or negative trait and how should the reader’s view of pride change throughout the novel.
Within the first several chapters of the book, Mary claims, “Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity to what we would have others think of us” (pg. 14). This quote makes it seem as if vanity is a far worse trait to have than pride. It seems as if a person can be proud without being vain, but a person cannot be vain without being prideful. It seems as if Austen is saying pride is acceptable even beneficial to possess to some degree. Austen goes on to describe one’s pride as something that must not be damaged regardless. In chapter five, Elizabeth says of Darcy, %26quot;I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.%26quot; Austen places emphasis on the importance of one’s pride and how the damage of one persons pride is irreparable. Pride is placed on a pedestal and must not be tampered with.
Austen’s idea that forgiving one for their prideful ways as long as they do not damage anothers is represented the majority of the novel through Elizabeth and Darcy. Elizabeth and Darcy in my opinion are the two most prideful characters which is why they have drama throughout the entire novel. In chapter 34, Darcy says, “these offenses might have been overlooked, had not your pride been hurt by my honest confession of the scruples that had long prevented my forming any serious design.” The question of whether pride is able to be mended is another question without an answer in Pride and Prejudice. Although Elizabeth and Darcy are constantly damaging one another’s pride, the two end up together in the end. Regardless of the two ending up together, are both characters able to conquer the emotional offense they have received from one another and does Austen place as much importance on the idea of pride by the end of the novel?
In the beginning of the novel, Austen describes pride as one’s opinion of themselves and sensitive to offense, but by the end of the novel, Austen claims that pride can get the best of what is proper. By chapted 48, Darcy claims, “As a child I was taught what was right, but I was not taught to correct my temper. I was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit.” The admirable principles that Darcy had been taught as a child were left to be defined by pride and conceit. Austen now sheds light on pride as a negative trait where as in the beginning she sculpted it as a sacred, even favorable trait.
By the end of the novel, I believe Austen views pride as somewhat destructive. Because this novels definition of pride is not completely black or white and remains gray is why I believe it continues to be so impressive. I believe that Austen herself would view pride the way she portrayed it in the end of the novel; however, this book is made more powerful by using prideful characters like Elizabeth and Darcy and attempting to form a relationship with two very similar people. My understanding of the novel was enhanced once I saw that Elizabeth and Darcy became successful together when pride was no longer as involved and both characters became less prideful. I believe Austen’s purpose in writing her 1813 novel, Pride and Prejudice, was to form a gray question about whether pride is a positive or negative trait and change the reader’s definiton of pride throughout the novel.

Does This Sound Okay?
It's for homework and I was assigned to pick a poem and analyze it.
So I've done a small random essay of sorts for the beginning, then went over and broke down the poem at the end-
Isolation is a poison. An induced toxin born to rip you of your mentality. The slow lingering death upon one’s fate brings unto us all, eventually, one final silence.
Are we aware of our seclusion? One’s solitude and peace? And if we are, why then, do we let this life style hold grip and rein to both our mental and physical mechanics? The sluggish infestation rots over a beautiful world, and we allow it, we embrace the change, because it’s simple and easy.
Those who can identify with Poe’s despairing sentiments understands with such a range of emotion, that if left alone one can experience both kinds of silence.
The theory of dualism plays out in front of you. This seclusion appears to separate both body and soul, leaving you feeling like a parasite leeching onto a body, your host. The time spent alone is what prominently leads into this. It’s a snap, a wake up call of sorts, that sharpens your mind and eye to reality.
Realization settles in, a permanent cavity. Ignorance to truth unfolds a simpler path, yet awareness tends to invite insanity whether welcome or not.
An optimistic warmth encircles you when in company. Imagine being the only being on Earth. Visualize what feelings would be running through your head, what attitude you’d take up, and what was worth living. Now, insert fifty or more people on Earth and envision the emotions and relief, the thoughts of companionship. The difference between the two, other than the obvious, is when alone all you can think of is the end.
“There are some qualities-some incorporate things,
That have a double life, which thus is made
A type of twin entity which springs
From matter and light, evinced in solid and shade.”
Here Poe describes a clear separation between the two silences. He puts “which springs from matter and light” to explain your mental isolation, then says “evinced in solid and shade” to portray the physical death. It’s a path which leads into the other.
“There is a two-fold Silence-sea and shore-
Body and soul. One dwells in lonely places,
Newly with grass o‘ergrown; some solemn graces,
Some human memories, and tearful lore,”
We delve into the more mental of silences, here he describes your mind. “Newly with grass o’ergrown” paints a descriptive representation of a land which has slowly begun to rot. “Some solemn graces, some human memories, and tearful lore” accentuates a ringing echo over this abandoned land.
“Render him terrorless: his name’s “No More.”
He is the corporate silence: dread him not!
No power hath he of evil in himself;”
This would be the depiction of yourself. You are nothing to fear, yet you represent your own isolation. “No power hath he of evil in himself” says you can not control what has started infesting your mind, it is too late, you have no more power over it.
“But should some urgent fate (untimely lot!)
Bring thee to meet his shadow (nameless elf,
That haunteth the lone regions where hath trod
No foot of man), commend thyself to God!”
Your shadow would be death himself. “Nameless elf, that haunteth the lone regions where hath trod no foot of man” symbolizes a form of afterlife, lonely, cold, and dead. Poe, being the religious man he was, advises anyone who is aware of their isolation to place their fate in devotion to God.

So I've done a small random essay of sorts for the beginning, then went over and broke down the poem at the end-
Isolation is a poison. An induced toxin born to rip you of your mentality. The slow lingering death upon one’s fate brings unto us all, eventually, one final silence.
Are we aware of our seclusion? One’s solitude and peace? And if we are, why then, do we let this life style hold grip and rein to both our mental and physical mechanics? The sluggish infestation rots over a beautiful world, and we allow it, we embrace the change, because it’s simple and easy.

Martin Luther: Religious Reformationist
By: Lauren Ritchie
Martin Luther was a man who wanted to serve God with all he had, baptized a Catholic at birth set him on a journey that made him consider all the possibilities and even question what he was taught as a child. Both parents being devoted Catholics had high expectations for him. When he went off to school He learned what he was taught and even went beyond the class room once he was able to understand the Fundamentals, the Doctrine of the Church anything else a person can learn as a Catholic, in his quest he became a Catholic Priest, now keep in mind he studied for many years, we can鈥檛 even ponder in our minds what he had to learn in order to be prepared to teach and counsel and even hear one鈥檚 confession. We think of a lot of things when it comes to the word PRIEST. However when Martin Luther kept being educated, he decided he was going to write literature that could change way people think, he wanted it to be a good thing even if it did get top honors he was happy he could betray the ways of the Catholic Church, A piece of literature that comes to mind is the 95 Theses. In this he wrote this hoping everyone and anyone would read it and cite with him, once it got to the Pope in his time, there was much objection to his writing, and when Martin retaliated the Pope would not hear of it. He told Martin Luther that the rules of the church were as they stand and if Martin could not abide by them that he would be in serious trouble.
Wouldn鈥檛 you know Martin kept pursuing the thoughts of how he felt about the Catholic Church, especially everything he was taught he did not seem to agree with it all. He felt that certain rules should not have to apply when not necessary. In this effort he disregarded what the Pope had said to him, and him kept spreading the material he had written, hoping those he knew even those with same vocation as himself or higher could convince the Pope to make some changes. However in his time as a Priest he did whatever it took even push the envelop and it cost him dearly, the Pope got word, and he was immediately excommunicated for not following orders, and he would go on trial for his writings and his theology on the subject had, those who knew Martin Luther, tried to petition on his behalf but his 95 Theses and other writings we subjected to much scrutiny. On trial before his peers Martin Luther tried in everyway possible to show his writings were beneficial, but it turns out they were disregarded and Martin was banned. He had been asked to do lectures before this ban occurred, because he knew much of what he was writing and what he had study before and after the Priesthood. He wanted to be influential but it was not enough to convince the Pope.
Martin Luther decided if he could not portray what was right and wrong as the far as the Doctrine of the Church goes, then he would start a reformation where most of the rules and regulations of the church did not apply. He wanted be able to worship, so kept writing and giving lectures not just based on his intelligence but on his feeling. He portrayed anything that might help others understand, especially to keep going to church if they even had to follow him. During the reformation he wrote Biblical Literature based on the Ten Commandments and other Prayers of the Catholic faith which he was no longer apart of. He used this and other materials to create and form the Lutheran Church ( hence the word Lutheran -an = Luther)
He made changes to the liturgy, even the Mass, (kept these a bit similar to the Catholic Church) and how others confess. He thought that we as humans despite our mistakes and sins we commit do not require confession before a priest, that one could pray to God to forgive them. Martin Luther showed those who were faithful they did not have to compromise much. It might be said he wanted to make the religious community simpler, was not about simplicity, It was about understanding Gods Word and continuing to do his WILL. Martin did not want to change people鈥檚 minds but he also had to alter himself and his teaching. The first reason for the Reformation was to get back at the Catholic Church for not agreeing with him, but later on it was more apparent of the changes that should have been made, and he knew it was up to him if he wanted to make changes. I don鈥檛 personally think Martin Luther wanted to show anyone up, but his problems only got bigger when he did not get his way in the Catholic Church.
At one point in his life he became a monk, committing himself to prayer and fasting, but it did not turn out so well, and it was putting pressure on him to become someone he knew he could not be. He was sent away from the Monastery to pursue a career. Martin did not want to do it but he knew it would kill him if did not get his mind into better things. Martin had to have been sure that God would only give him what he could handle. I believe Martin wanted the importance of his

How do you Catholics and Other Religious People Feel About This Article, What Do you Think?
Thew above answer is correct, but I would like to further correct a couple of misconceptions you have:
Martin Luther did NOT abolish confession before a pastor/priest. Even today, the Lutheran liturgy contains a general confession of sins with absolution by the presiding pastor. Private confession is also available for those who desire it. Lutheran teaching on this subject is in many ways similar to Catholic teaching.
Luther, and the other Lutheran Reformers, had NO intention of starting a new Church or denomination. Rather, they considered themselves to be faithful Catholics, and wished only to rid the Catholic Church of abuses, scandals, and superstitious teachings which had arisen during the Dark Ages. They also wanted to make sure that the Church reflected the teachings of the Bible. Lutherans and Catholics tried for decades to 'iron out' their differences, but were ultimately unsuccessful, as much from secular political reasons as differences in theology.

Everyone鈥?s always watching, judging
You fall too fast, too hard, with fixation.

What do you think of my poem?
Like another said, u stuck with a theme, which keeps the poem interesting.
To me, because u used words like 'tedious, fright, fiction, reality, fixation', etc, the poem feels like it's about thoughts that keep nagging at your mind and pulling at your heart. I've been through that- daily, actually. So I can relate to this.
The tiniest thing I would change is in the line 'Time progresses, and yet you can't be relieved.' It is redundant to use 'and' with 'yet'. lol That's the only critique that I have. Really doesn't matter.

What do you think of my poem?

I definitely think the themes here are interesting; unlike many authors, you stick to the topic and don't diverge distractingly. I'm a little confused about %26quot;Nataliee R 694.%26quot; Is this an allusion to something? If it's important, keep it in, but many readers may not understand it.
Also, the second and third lines %26quot;lose your mind%26quot; and %26quot;well...that's fine%26quot; rhyme, which gives the impression that you will continue to rhyme in the rest of the piece. If you really don't want to use a rhyme scheme (which is of course, completely fine) I would avoid the first rhyme there.
And, because I'm a bit of a grammar (and spelling, etc) Nazi, just a few errors: %26quot;one's one degrading%26quot; should be %26quot;one's OWN degrading.%26quot;
%26quot;All is gone awry%26quot; should be %26quot;All HAS gone awry.%26quot;
Last thing -- I know your goal is free verse (no rhyme scheme or consistent rhythm) but you may want to have some sort of loose structure that is consistent among the stanzas. Just my two cents.
I absolutely loved it. I relate to it so much. I know exactly what you're talking about. My favorite part was...

Is this normal for Children in daycare?
Ok I have two girls age 2 and 13mo. I started working for the first time since my 2 year old was 6mo in July from July until mid Aug We had our neighbors daughters watching them but they just started school again so I had to find daycare. The one I Loved didn't have an opening for my 13mo old but my second choice did. Unfortunately I waited to long to sign my 2 year old up (But we are on the waiting list for both kids but there is most likely a wait for a year) I ended up putting my children in the second choice. My 2 year old started on Tuesday and not only loves it but hasn't had one accident since (she's only been potty training for 2 weeks) My 13mo old started on Thursday. I haven''t noticed any change in my 2 year olds behavior other than a little rougher play than usual with her sister. I noticed tonight (Friday) that my 13mo old was rolling around on the floor throwing a fit (almost looked like break dancing) My 2 year old is very bright and can answer questions correctly I asked her (like i have all week about daycare) if other kid/babies did that. She nodded her head and said night night (which means nap) It kind of worries me beacues she has always just walked away from me when i've said no or won't let her have something she wants she has never thrown a fit. My kids have never been in daycare or anything along those lines Other than the month my neighbors (Which they love and I love) watched them neigher has been out of my site for more than 2 hrs. I desperately need to work (just the time off has hurt us financially) and I honestly need a break from my kids. Am i overreacting or is this picking up of behavior normal. Also Since thursday my 13mo old wants nothing to do with me and only wants her dad (she was breastfeed until Aug and has always cried within seconds of being in her fathers arms)
I know the daycare is a little short staffed right now (one person is moving and another is sick) but They have had the 1year olds and 2 year olds in the same room (i don't mind to much beacues my daughters are together) and the one's that are watching the kids seem a little hazy in the mornings and has never asked any questions about the kids.
Is this normal for Children in daycare?
Hey there...
First, I would say that you need to instigate conversation with the teachers in the mornings...and when you pick them up, too. In the mornings, tell them things like that so and so is a little crabby this morning or the other one didn't sleep well last night, that kind of thing. Lots of time in the morning they're trying to get their paperwork filled out, greet the kids and keep things under control...and, yeah, like us they're probably still a bit sleepy. Ask them if they're tired, try to develop rapport with them. I'm not saying they aren't dropping the ball but it is both of your responsibility...if they aren't going to pick up their end then you'll need to give them a little push by starting it.
At the end of the day, ask how their day was, ask for specifics like what they learned that day, did they nap, did they have a time out. Not only will this show the teachers that they need to be on their game with you, a caring parent, and not only will it develop rapport with them...but it'll give you lots of things to talk about with your children about how their day went. ie: SO, you learned all about the animals in the sea today...I like the sea horse, which one was your favorite animal? That kind of thing... :)
Second, YES, it's totally normal for your little ones to pick up habits from other kids at school. Teachers can't change the fact that some kids throw fits...that is a behavior that some parents allow...and they probably do what they can to stop those children but it won't stop yours from witnessing it. What I do in that situation is use it as a learning experience...I ask her, as you did, if the kids at school do that and then I go on to explain that it is naughty behavior and won't be tolerated. If she %26quot;fights back%26quot; by saying well, so and so did it...I tell her I'm not so and so's mommy, I'm HER mommy and MY rule is that it is naughty...and that she WILL get punished for that behavior.
It would be great if our kids didn't see behavior in order to learn it that we don't like...but they are going to...either now or in 'real' school....so the only thing we can do is point it out as examples of what NOT to do...
With my daughter: We were in walmart and this boy started to throw a fit...a boy that looked about TEN YEARS old...about something he couldn't have. He was with both parents. My daughter saw this and said something like, %26quot;Mommy, he's throwing a fit, that's naughty!%26quot; The mother overheard and said, %26quot;What did you say?? Say that again!%26quot; Worried, I said, %26quot;I'm sorry, it's just that I teach her not to do that and she's just three so she doesn't mean any offense...%26quot; The mom said, %26quot;NO...I LOVE IT...%26quot; then called her son and husband back over and told Megan, %26quot;Say that again...%26quot; She did and then the mother said to her son, %26quot;She's what? 3? And even SHE knows you're acting like a baby!!%26quot; So talking about it with Megan really did help Megan to recognize bad behavior. So maybe you can give that a try...
Hope it helps. Good luck to you and take good care! :):)
Is this normal for Children in daycare?
to be honest my daughter is 3 and i would be a little worried i am a stay at home mom now but when she was first born i went back to work right away i had her on a friday and worked the next saturday i never sent her to a daycare she was always watched by my husbands nice who is 21 now and i think i would look into another day care if the people arn't awake and asking you questions about your kids they are at work and should act like it because if they act like that when you are there then what are they doing when you arnt there
I know the daycare is a little short staffed right now (one person is moving and another is sick) but They have had the 1year olds and 2 year olds in the same room (i don't mind to much beacues my daughters are together) and the one's that are watching the kids seem a little hazy in the mornings and has never asked any questions about the kids.

I'm not saying they aren't dropping the ball but it is both of your responsibility...if they aren't going to pick up their end then you'll need to give them a little push by starting it.
At the end of the day, ask how their day was, ask for specifics like what they learned that day, did they nap, did they have a time out. Not only will this show the teachers that they need to be on their game with you, a caring parent, and not only will it develop rapport with them...but it'll give you lots of things to talk about with your children about how their day went. ie: SO, you learned all about the animals in the sea today...I like the sea horse, which one was your favorite animal? That kind of thing... :)
Second, YES, it's totally normal for your little ones to pick up habits from other kids at school. Teachers can't change the fact that some kids throw fits...that is a behavior that some parents allow...and they probably do what they can to stop those children but it won't stop yours from witnessing it. What I do in that situation is use it as a learning experience...I ask her, as you did, if the kids at school do that and then I go on to explain that it is naughty behavior and won't be tolerated. If she %26quot;fights back%26quot; by saying well, so and so did it...I tell her I'm not so and so's mommy, I'm HER mommy and MY rule is that it is naughty...and that she WILL get punished for that behavior.
It would be great if our kids didn't see behavior in order to learn it that we don't like...but they are going to...either now or in 'real' school....so the only thing we can do is point it out as examples of what NOT to do...
With my daughter: We were in walmart and this boy started to throw a fit...a boy that looked about TEN YEARS old...about something he couldn't have. He was with both parents. My daughter saw this and said something like, %26quot;Mommy, he's throwing a fit, that's naughty!%26quot; The mother overheard and said, %26quot;What did you say?? Say that again!%26quot; Worried, I said, %26quot;I'm sorry, it's just that I teach her not to do that and she's just three so she doesn't mean any offense...%26quot; The mom said, %26quot;NO...I LOVE IT...%26quot; then called her son and husband back over and told Megan, %26quot;Say that again...%26quot; She did and then the mother said to her son, %26quot;She's what? 3? And even SHE knows you're acting like a baby!!%26quot; So talking about it with Megan really did help Megan to recognize bad behavior. So maybe you can give that a try...
Hope it helps. Good luck to you and take good care! :):)
Is this normal for Children in daycare?
to be honest my daughter is 3 and i would be a little worried i am a stay at home mom now but when she was first born i went back to work right away i had her on a friday and worked the next saturday i never sent her to a daycare she was always watched by my husbands nice who is 21 now and i think i would look into another day care if the people arn't awake and asking you questions about your kids they are at work and should act like it because if they act like that when you are there then what are they doing when you arnt there
My question is this that is this good to behave like Avi?
My question is this that is this good to behave like Avi?
There is a person his name is Avi
He is all the time like not a good person. Once BG has explained him a lot but still he needs a lot of things to get clear. Second I was in view that %26quot;Joanne%26quot; is very good at English but I came to know that her English is also not so good and dear, there is great difference the language you have as mother language and the language you study. Mother language is without grammar without any law. You only speak it as you learn from your parents and society. But when we study it we study it grammatically and according to some laws. There are a lot of things in my language which I don't know grammatically. When I hear them I say they are wrong but when an expert tells the law then it becomes clear. Same is with native English speakers. I do admit there are often mistakes in my write and that is why I put my work online and I also give others to read to let me know the mistakes. IT IS UNIVERSAL TRUTH THAT NO ONE CAN OBSERVE HIS OWN MISTAKES TILL HE DOES NOT ASK ANY ONE TO CORRECT THEM. Second in our country it is the law that before you publish your any thing, we get correction from experts and this is not called cheating at all. So if you mind for helping me that is narrow of your mind and this built something worse in my heart for you.
One thing more about Avi is this that his knowledge is very limited, if you have grip on language but if you don't have knowledge of any thing you can never give comments. The thing which is hard for you to understand this does not mean that there is fault in that thing. You better see yourself where you stand. The most important is this if none of you understand what I write, you can only say I don't understand but most of you suggest me that it should be in this way this proofs that you do understand my write. When you understand then you give suggestions.
TO PASS COMMENTS WITHOUT ANY LOGIC IS A SUPREME TYPE OF NONSENSE. Avi instead passing such small comments for people you better try to write any thing of your own. Whatever status it would have I will accept it, don't worry for this that your work will not be welcomed.
For Joanne I would say she has corrected some of my things and the last thing that she has corrected is here:-
She Corrected:
1. If a person is unable to change their fate, they can change their thought.
This correction is not according to grammar
The subject of the sentence is a person and the pronoun for a person can’t be their or they, we are not allowed to use pronouns in this way. Hope most of you will agree with me on this point?
Like Avi said English is Joanne is native language so what this mean?
Natives are mostly poor in grammar my dear “Avi”. NATIVES ALSO NEED TO LEARN GRAMMAR FOR WRITES. Wisdom is not in language my dear Avi. If It were like this, English would have never translated a lot of books form other languages to English and nor other nations would have translated English’s work in to their languages. Wisdom is in the mind of people, which they express through different sources of communication.
Avi tries to show his worst face in this way not only to me to every one else here. I have great respect for English people as they are royal like me. So you must try to keep this thing in mind that royal don’t behave like this. You can criticize one’s work but you can’t suggest any one to leave that work. WRITER IS LIKE A GOD AS GOD CREATES THINGS, WRITER ALSO CREATES THINGS AND GIVES UNKNOWN VISION LIKE GOD.
There are mistakes every where but this does not mean that he should leave the most creative thing just by that little thing. I want BG and LoveChild to answer to this question in detail if they get any thing from this write.
My question is this that is this good to behave like Avi?
Zahid from Pakistan
My question is this that is this good to behave like Avi?
I have read this quickly, I am on my way out for the day with my husband.
I agree with you. Spoken English is very different to written English, especially the English of serious, academic publications.
But, written language which sticks too closely to old rules does not grow richer. If I read articles written, for example, during the last war they appear to me to be very dry and full of long latinate phrases. I was taught Grammar as a separate subject when I was at school, but now children are expected to learn this by usage. I know what a noun, verb, adjective, adverb etc. is they do not.
I know the difference between words like 'whom' and 'who' but they do not. 'Whom' is very rarely used now in speech.
Joanne
%26quot;If a person is unable to change their fate, they can change their thought%26quot;...this is how we say this and write this. The reason? - common usage - and to avoid saying the awkward sentence -
%26quot;If a person is unable to change his or her fate, he or she can change his or her thought%26quot;
I don't wish to comment on 'Avi'. I will say, though, that there are many people on this site who are not always kind or helpful in their responses. They are ignorant people...take no notice of them.
My question is this that is this good to behave like Avi?
Please note that I grew up and learned to read and write English back in the 1970s, in the format that was correct at the time. I am 43 years old; not a teenager like many Y!A users today. Joanne

Arguing about seemingly irrelevant topics (like R&S) for everyday life may look futile, but is it really?
One might say: %26quot;why do you waste your time over the existence of a god if it doesn麓t impact your income or your love life or even your friendship circles%26quot;.
I would tend to agree, if it wasn麓t for this little detail of %26quot;buggy software%26quot;.
You see, even if we seem to be made from the same mold, everything demonstrates that subtle changes can have disastrous effects. If we really were so similar, communication would be so perfect as to render most conversations (and especially arguments) useless.
As we are not, I think that stressing the foundations of one麓s communication tools is paramount.
From my point of view, a computer Operating System (OS) is bug riddled if its assumptions do not match facts (Checksums) and twists the files to show what it wants (a puter couldn麓t do that of course because it麓s not analogous).
But humans can, and do. So for me a god-free frame of mind is important in a person because at least it tells me that one sees the world with facts, not wishful thinking.
Arguing about seemingly irrelevant topics (like R%26amp;S) for everyday life may look futile, but is it really?
R %26amp; S are not irrelevant topics. They are VITAL topics because they are philosophical concepts that humans hold and from which they act. Bad ideas beget bad actions. Such is the essence of the value of philosophy.
The battleground is between Faith and Reason. Faith is just a sentiment and should not be used as a tool for building correct abstractions. Reason is our natural tool of cognition and it's the only instrument we have that can help us distinguish truth from falsehood, real from unreal, just from unjust, and moral from immoral.
Since Faith requires no mental effort, it spreads like a virus very easily among the ignorant, lazy and un-intellectual masses. Religions make giant strides where there is poverty and ignorance. Religions lose ground where living is more comfortable, people are free to improve their education, and scientific inquiry produces beneficial results in medicine and in the standard of living.
If we wish to live in a more rational world, in a world where justice, truth, reality and happiness are important values, Reason must take precedence over Faith. It's a matter of survival, because Faith can only breed madness.
For %26quot;pshdsa%26quot;
I can't help answering you because one who follows Reason or is scientific does not require only empirical experiences to make correct abstractions. I have never been to Russia is a sentence that does not have the same meaning as I have never been to Heaven! Heaven contradicts ALL that is real in the universe, including its laws of physics, chemistry and biology -- Russia does not contradict anything. This is where LOGIC is important. You do not need to physically go to Russia. Armenia, Iraq, India, to KNOW that they exist. The evidence of their existence is multi-faceted in literature, human travel, reports, news, films, geophysical explorations from satellites, people who speak different languages and have different cultures -- none of these events contradict one another, contradict history, geography, general public information and none contradict the laws of physics, chemistry or biology. Heaven, angels, God, the devil, etc contradict each other and everything that is real.
Arguing about seemingly irrelevant topics (like R%26amp;S) for everyday life may look futile, but is it really?
Both frames of reference, god-free or god-exist, mayl lead to same, different and sometimes competing conclusions. Yet, either position interprets facts differently and both may use some wishful thinking. The first questions and answers both may raise are about existence. The next questions and answers both may raise are about purpose. And another set of questions and answers may be about existence beyond this life. Non of these topics are irrelevant, since their answers lead to how all humans interact with each other. Without the ability to ask and answer these questions, humans would be little different from instincually programmed animals or flawlessly programmed robots.
OK, you like to be scientific in your analysis of life. That means you observe with one or more of your five senses. You accept only what you observe. The problem is that that limits your awareness of even physical realities. Truth is that you take many things by faith without observing whether they be true or not. Have you actually been to Russia? Then under your %26quot;logical%26quot; parameters, how do you prove it is really there? Well you have extensions on your sense of sight and look at pictures of Russia. But you are beginning to see that many things are taken by faith just because the majority of people are so confident in their assertion of the inference of it. The point is that the scientific method is limited because it can only be used in the physical world. It can't investigate spiritual realities because it takes spiritual eyes, spiritual ears and spiritual understanding to investigate that area. Jesus said, This people's heart has grown callous, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
This is fertile ground for those who wish it, can discern knowledge and broaden their borders. The big picture is amazing. We really are all one. I wish everyone could see this. Beautiful.software long hair

Phycology-self-affirmation?
In Psychology, it is a well known fact that one can change oneself thru self-affirmation . Some experts believe that the self-affirmations to the subconscious mind is best done in an “already achieved mode”. For example, a student who is weak in mathematics and wish to improve on it should say the self-affirmations as “I am excellent at mathematics”. This is so that the subconscious mind is set with the positive intended goal and thus will program the whole body with the message .But the question is that such self-affirmation is not the truth(or not the truth yet) and will be against one’s own conscience .Would it not better to make the affirmation in the present as “I am getting better and better in mathematics”? What is your comment? Please state whatever evidences or experiences that you know as well.
Phycology-self-affirmation?
Check out Dr. Wayne Dyers book, The Power of Intention. It is great.
Everything I have ever learned about intention instructs you to think from the end. To assume you are already where you want to be. For instance, 8 years ago, I had NO self esteem. I told myself over and over again that I was a hot girl, people loved to be near me and I was confident. When in all reality it wasn't very true. I was cute, didn't have many friends and strangers didn't talk to me and I was NOT confident! But within 2 months, it worked out to be true. I was getting attention from guys and strangers all over the place and I was no longer shy and uncomfortable.
Now, I see what you are saying about mathmetics. You may not be gifted in math, but to tell yourself that you are completely changes your mindset and opens yourself to the answers better than thinking you'll never get it. Words and thoughts have vibrations that go out and whether they are good or bad, you'll get it back no matter what. So telling yourself that you are great at math, just might open the door to someone walking into your life that is great at it and can tutor you. See?
Be open to the possibilities that affirmations can have. The last thing I would say is DO NOT DOUBT the affirmation when you are saying it. Even if it is not possible to fathom with the ego-mind.

Am I being redundant?
Fate is not stronger than any man’s mind because free will IS fate; they are equal in power. In reality, fate is the outcome of an event related to one’s personality, nature, and perspective. A persona is a fixed characteristic in the human psyche. One may firmly believe he has free will to change his fate, but he is mistaken; every action requires the innate qualities about him. Ultimately, persona is defined as one’s fate because it is a controlling factor in his “free” will.
Am I being redundant?
I don't think so.

What's the biggest political issue of the last decade?
I would honestly like peoples opinions. In my opinion, the big one's on everybody's minds are the war in Iraq, terrorism, and the bad economy. (Please do not answer with hatred or name calling, because if there's one thing we can agree on is that both sides are entitled to their opinions and feel strongly about such. I'd like to keep this as intelligent as possible.)
1) As far as American death counts go though, the war in Iraq far surpasses the death count of 9/11. (2978 for 9/11 to 4168 for the war.) What bothered me the most was how obvious it was to both sides that Dick Cheney's very own company, Halliburton, now runs the oil fields in Iraq. In the past, such deception was usually brushed under the rug, but now it appears part of American culture to invade other countries for finnancial gain. They even call it %26quot;Investor's Iraq.%26quot;
2) The war may have far more deaths, but no other event has had such an impact in the minds of American people than the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Osama bin Laden, put into power by the Reagan administration in 1985 to fight the Soviet empire in Afghanistan, brutally masterminded an attack on the Twin Towers and murdered almost 3000 Americans. Another plane also flew into the empty side of the Pentagon, (the pentagon employs 89000 people daily, only 184 were killed) and regardless of their motives (let's BOTH sides not discuss that,) 9/11 happened, and there's NO WAY TO CHANGE THE PAST. The event, did, however, forever alter the way the American people feel about their safety.
3) I am extremely liberal, but even I do NOT believe that Bush is responsible for the state of the economy. American familys are now scraping paycheck to paycheck to make ends meet. Vacations and luxury goods are a thing of the past. This is an issue that affects both the right and left, and I'm sure almost everyone reading this has probably been affected too.
Your opinions? Any other issues? Please keep it civil and let both sides not resort to name calling.
What's the biggest political issue of the last decade?
Definitely the people of America. Would you call that the economy? I mean health insurance, education, housing, safety of food, availability of drugs, lack of legislation on so many things.
It's unbelievable.
I remember 15-20 years ago, we never had this inundation of products, especially pharmaceuticals, OTC...I'm surprised our own country allows this....people don't even know what this stuff is doing to them, and in the meantime our food (produce and meat) is pure garbage. We can't even FIND local anymore unless you go to a %26quot;mom and pop%26quot; shop...the big chains import stuff from countries which are killing us with this crap.
Lots of bad things going on in this world today.
Time to have government look after the people, dont you think? So you have some kids with smarts to run things in the future and not just a bunch of rednecks who think a gun and religion is all one needs to get by in this world.
What's the biggest political issue of the last decade?
Nope,,,,Bush, Iraq, the economy, national security, all take a back seat to abortion, especially for liberals.
The Iraq war has the lowest causality rate of any war in American history.
Bill Clinton used Haliburton during Bosnia and Kosovo.
Jimmy Carter started Al Queida when he allowed the Shaw of Iran to get deposed, and then the Iatola Khomeini took over and built up the Taliban and Al-Queida .
Cheney doesn't own Halliburton, and most of Congress has stock in the company. The reason they were awarded the contract was their ability to do the job, since at the time I believe their were only two companies worldwide that could do it. The biggest issue is just what ever is current. If you had asked this 10 years ago it would be Clinton's behavior, etc. And it is based on your personal viewpoint. As a liberal your views are completely different than mine. 9/11 will remain in our minds until we die, but for someone born 10 years ago it won't have anymore meaning than Pearl Harbor.
The attack on Iraq (how it was done, from fraud within, to media blackout, to manipulation of elections and laws) and what really happened with 9/11 (who did it and why), and how the two are connected.
Obama is the biggest issue of the last dacade.
But there may be no money when he gets to the White House to change anything.
George Bush really hurt America. 11 trillion dollar national debt is a game changer.

Wether the sins and atrocities will vanish from this world that day....?
Whatever is there in this creation is truth. Nothing else, but from 鈥榠t鈥?only the creation is created.
Means 鈥?TRUTH is the name of that prime element 鈥?鈥楶rime soul鈥? from which this creation was created, and got functional as well.
In other words 鈥?From which this vast (creation) get light, and the medium from which all worlds got created, got stability and got the direction; that is the 鈥楢lmighty鈥?
Whatever is there in this creation is the representation of that 鈥楢lmighty鈥?only. It is spread in all the 鈥榠nert鈥?and 鈥榗onscious鈥?in an equal way. Whatever is visible or invisible, is only the visible and invisible form of it.
Sincerity and religious is- one, they are not separate. This is not our hand, but is the hand of the 鈥楶rime Soul鈥? What ever is done in the whole world, is done only by the hands of that prime soul. We should understand that 鈥?whatever we are doing for ourselves is done by that 鈥楶rime Soul鈥?for us. Whatever we don or don鈥檛 do, is done or not done by the prime soul.
Now you will ask 鈥?Whether the sins and all the atrocities carried out in this world are done by the 鈥楪od鈥?? The answer is 鈥?whatever we do for our necessities is done only by 鈥榟im鈥? But, whatever we do for our happiness for satisfying our desired and, for fulfilling our satiety, somebody else takes the pain for it. Where as, we derive pleasure out of it. When those sins, atrocities or misdeeds of somebody gives joys to him, somebody else gets the pain for it. If you think of other鈥檚 happiness, you have to take the pain and have to kill the desires.
A person starving of something for a long period may get defeated against his morals to carryout some misdeeds. That is why the saints have urged to practice restraint. Since we don鈥檛 care for others happiness they try to snatch things of their use from us. They trouble us. With one鈥檚 sacrifice, another gets the 鈥榟appiness鈥? Whatever is there in this world is one. All are created only from the 鈥榮ame one鈥? Everybody鈥檚 welfare is the welfare of us. Same case with the happiness and the joy also. For one鈥檚 happiness, another has to carry out the act of surrender.
To keep half of the people happy, another half has to take some pain. Like this, if we cooperate with each other, may sacrifices for each other then all will have their part of happiness. The weak persons always depend on others. Their moral responsibility is to give up laziness in order to do hard labor for bringing changes to their conditions. They should not connive their laziness to be a helplessness.
Here, the topic is not on sin or virtue, religious 鈥?atheism, arms or compassion. The topic is 鈥?how to take care of others happiness. As long as we are selfish, we can鈥檛 feel the agony or the joy of others; and atrocities will thrive on in this world that long. Every person, for his own requirements will tell lies, will sin, will trouble others, create violence on others and will torture. If everybody thinks of fulfilling requirements of others also, these heinous activities will definitely come to an end.
Whatever the 鈥榩rime soul鈥?does, he does it through us. He does it keeping our happiness in his mind. In result, half of us get the happiness and the other half takes the pain. After taking food we feel good, but the stomach has to take the pain of digesting it. We enjoy trekking; but the legs take up the task of that by taking some pain. If different parts of the body stop performing their part of job, the whole body is affected. In that, the life is put in a danger, and other parts of the body starts defecting. Thus, sacrifices for each other is a must.
Like this, in this total creation, every body is dependent on each other, for their own requirements. Joy and grief are like day and night. If happiness is required, then one also has to share little miseries with others. Happiness for all should be kept in the mind.
Eradication of sins and atrocities from this world is not in the capacity of a single person. The day we start caring for others happiness, the sins and atrocities will vanish from this world that day. And we will be in great happiness, and can give others the same.
Wether the sins and atrocities will vanish from this world that day....?
this is not a question what kind of psycho babble is this. I will destroy you and this world/god of yours. Serpents tounge rulzzzzzzzzzz

Hello. I just wrote a poem. Hope you like it!?
A Sacrifice
His eyes were once blue
Like the color of the sea
He made a gleam
A twinkle in one’s heart
But as time went by
He changed you see
He was no longer a friend
But an enemy
The hatred that filled within his eyes
Reddish flame and dark blue
Combined together he became
Someone that was a whole new person
Tears run down my cheek
For that sadness that made our friendship weak
Praying and trying to make things better
But nothing worked
Then one day
On all hollows eve
The Satin came
To take my enemy
The Devil sucked his soul right out
And I just could not bear to see
I told the evil spirit to take me instead
It was just impossible to sacrifice my ally
Not after what we have all been through
The times we shared
And the times we have spent
In my heart I did not want him or I to go
But my mind told me to just depart
I called to him
My friend who I held so dear
“Please forgive me!”
I hope this path I take will clear
The problems we have made through these years
And the memories we embellished
Will be saved in his head
As I walk the path to the living and to the dead
Hello. I just wrote a poem. Hope you like it!?
i love it so much you have talent
Hello. I just wrote a poem. Hope you like it!?
Deep and descriptive.
You know, that's not too bad..it would make a good song.
very good iam going to copy it later if i dont loose it on here i realy like it
i like it
wow. that was really interesting! it kind of creeped me out when you started talking about the devil, though.
I LOVE IT! good job!!!
good stuff. I feel your pain, but be grateful you were able to share the good times. anything negative can turn into a positive with gratitude.
thats very good u should submit it to poetry.com they copyright it and send u some important info through the mail pls try it u will be glad u did they publish it also
Love is not sacrifice!
Death is easy for anyone, but living with pain(lost love) is hard.
Your poem shows that you are lost with emotions...get some fresh air!
Take care
-:)
Right nice sweetie.
wow, good
sad and powerful, but not depressing. great poem.
You've got good points and a good story but poor structure.
Your verse is fine, but you need to choose: will I rhyme or not?
For example:
But as time went by
He changed you see
He was no longer a friend
But an enemy
Those are both forced and sound juvenile, like they were thrown together for the sake of the rhyme. Put words together for the words.
Or you can go the other path and rhyme everything. In that case, though, you probably want a sturcture of syllables.
I say make it free verse, no rhyme. I like you're couplets and your ending, that's strong. Change %26quot;The problems we have made through the years%26quot;, though- that's out of place.
Good work!
you are very talented. deep and dark. i liked it tho.

My first college essay. what do you guys think. edit it would be great. thanks?
Heres the wssay question that im answering
How does the enlightenment as represented by kant. reflect the influence on bacon? thanks
Kant’s influence on Bacon
The Enlightenment represented by Kant, influenced Bacon, in many ways from the way his thoughts were put out, to the way he speaks up against other philosophers. He was trying to get people to think on there own, and use there minds, as well as not listening to what every one is saying. Both Kant and Bacon had there own thoughts and ideas, but what they were trying to say had a lot in common. The system back then was not like it was today, there was freedom of speech, but not to a full extent that there is today. Kant Had great deals of influence on Bacon, many people believe most of his work was influenced By Kant.
The way Kant influence Bacon, was the way Bacon had no remorse on speaking against other philosopher’s telling people that they don’t halve to listen to Aristotle, they can listen to anyone they want, and go there own way, but what Bacon said was I can guide you through this if you listen to me. Bacon said “but even though Aristotle were the man he is thought to be I shall warn you against receiving as oracles the thoughts and opinions of one man” (pg 40). Immanuel Kant was one of the first people out there to try to get the commoners to not be intimidated by leaders, saying you can do well in society as well, by that Kant said most of the working class people were
Immature and lazy, but that was a large part of man kind. He said “immaturity is the incapacity to use one’s intelligence without the guidance of others” (pg 52). In my opinion by that quote Kant was saying you aren’t born with what you have, you can change it if you work hard at trying to become what you want to be. Those two quotes are very similar. They are both going for the commoners, trying to get them to be them selves, think on there own and go there own way.
In The New Organon Francis Bacon used excerpts in a phenomenal way, which Kant stating as well, Bacon said “There are and can be only two ways of searching into and discovering the truth”(pg 40). Kant demonstrated a very similar idea saying “Have the courage to use your own intelligence! Is therefore the motto of the Enlightenment” (pg 52). In my opinion those two quotes are very similar, as they are trying to enlightened the people in the same sense. What Bacon was trying to say is you don’t always halve to do the right thing; you can change the idea of what people are thinking by searching into the other way and discovering the truth. I think what Kant was trying to saying is be brave and go with your gut, if you feel it is right. The way these quotes are similar, is the way Kant influenced Bacon was to use your own intelligence and really look in and discover the truth.
So in conclusion, The Enlightenment represented by Kant, influenced Bacon in many ways from the way his thought are put out, to the way he speaks up against other
Philosophers, trying to get people to think and use there own minds, not listening to what every one is saying. The Enlightenment represented by Kant was a new type of writing, and way of thinking, he put his work out to other people to read, and think about what he was saying, and try to change the way there minds were thinking. Kant and bacon changed the way people thought back in the 16th and 18th century, and people today are still appreciating the writing that these stellar philosophers thought
My first college essay. what do you guys think. edit it would be great. thanks?
Unless your prof is miraculously on Yahoo, nobody's feedback is going to help you. Go to your college's writing center; they pay people to help students like you. Then you'll at least get good feedback rather than be at the mercy of random yahoos.

They are both going for the commoners, trying to get them to be them selves, think on there own and go there own way.
In The New Organon Francis Bacon used excerpts in a phenomenal way, which Kant stating as well, Bacon said “There are and can be only two ways of searching into and discovering the truth”(pg 40). Kant demonstrated a very similar idea saying “Have the courage to use your own intelligence! Is therefore the motto of the Enlightenment” (pg 52). In my opinion those two quotes are very similar, as they are trying to enlightened the people in the same sense. What Bacon was trying to say is you don’t always halve to do the right thing; you can change the idea of what people are thinking by searching into the other way and discovering the truth. I think what Kant was trying to saying is be brave and go with your gut, if you feel it is right. The way these quotes are similar, is the way Kant influenced Bacon was to use your own intelligence and really look in and discover the truth.
So in conclusion, The Enlightenment represented by Kant, influenced Bacon in many ways from the way his thought are put out, to the way he speaks up against other
Philosophers, trying to get people to think and use there own minds, not listening to what every one is saying. The Enlightenment represented by Kant was a new type of writing, and way of thinking, he put his work out to other people to read, and think about what he was saying, and try to change the way there minds were thinking. Kant and bacon changed the way people thought back in the 16th and 18th century, and people today are still appreciating the writing that these stellar philosophers thought
My first college essay. what do you guys think. edit it would be great. thanks?
Unless your prof is miraculously on Yahoo, nobody's feedback is going to help you. Go to your college's writing center; they pay people to help students like you. Then you'll at least get good feedback rather than be at the mercy of random yahoos.

ANNE FRANK RTL ESSAY #8
Through hardships in our life we tend to grow out of our childish ways and become more aware of the world around us. Chains of circumstances shape our persona do to certain assets in which one will change, develop, and finally mature into a grander person. When we endure these horrific events we go through a transformation of not only the mind but the soul and we derive a better understanding of how life really is outside the illusion of perfection we make it out to be. This is proved true in “The Diary of Anne Frank” written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. It is based on a story like no other in which a young girl confides in her diary about her inner most thoughts, wishes, and feelings. She describes what it is like to be forced to go into hiding for fear of her life, and have to live for two years in constant apprehensiveness that they might be found and charged for a crime punishable by death. It was through these circumstances beyond one’s control that Anne went through a great change on the outlook of life and became enlightened in the cruelties of the world.
Anne Frank lived a carefree life up until the holocaust. Even when her family and her along with four other people were forced to go into hiding she did not quite understand the extremities that she was soon to face, “but you can’t do that they’ll arrest you if you go out without your star.” This alone is an example of how na?ve Anne still was at the time after having been obligated to leave all that she held close to her heart. At the beginning she took it as if it were merely a “vacation”, and did not completely comprehend the seriousness of the war. She once told her mother “I only want some fun, someone to laugh and dance with”. Once again she has demonstrated that she is in a way blind to the enormity of the issue they where currently facing. After all that she had been obligated to abandon everything, she took it lightly to the heart.
She acquired some better understanding through time in which she began to have a greater insight not only about herself but of the world and people around her. Anne confesses to Peter, “I’d like to go back to it for a few days or a week. But after that I know I’d be bored to death. I think more seriously know.” Through this we can tell that Anne has indeed has gathered a larger realization of the magnitude of the issue at hand. Her thoughts on life have definitely matured since the beginning of the conflict. Anne still doesn’t loose faith even after all that she has been forced to go through, “I’m going to be a famous dancer or singer…or something wonderful”. Even though they have been put in a tragic situation, she has not lost all hope and becomes still a bigger person for it. She will not let the catastrophic times they are going through crush her dreams and wishes of the future she hopes to have. Anne derives an enhanced comprehension due to the hard times her, along with everyone else, have had to put through in order to survive.
Anne herself, matured very rapidly in these two crucial years where she went from thirteen to fifteen. She once said “But Peter, if you’d only look at it as a part of a great pattern…that were just a little minute in the life…” Through this we can presume she has acquired a greater understanding of the universe and all who live in it. She knows that the time that she has on the earth is only a spec of dust compared to the immensity of life itself. Anne understands that her life is not of greater importance than somebody else’s, and knows that she will only get one chance at the life she currently has. Therefore she knows to make the most of what she has. She stated once “I’m going to be remarkable! I’m going to Paris!” This again demonstrates her optimism and how she has grown as a person not only from the outside but also within. Through the good and the bad Anne has matured somewhat since the beginning of this experience.
Through the two treacherous years Anne Frank was forced to live along with seven other people during the holocaust, she matured with wisdom far beyond any other girl her age would have. Her insight on the holocaust and what innocent people were forced to suffer through is one of the most moving commentaries on the war and its impact on human beings ever read. She once wrote “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” These words of wisdom are an example of how much hope she still had. She had faith in people, and did not judge everyone the same due to the actions of one man. Through the menacing times she had been forced to face she discovered a greater truth about life.
Im stressing!!! help with english paper please! (anne frank)?
Wow, a pretty tall order to critique even a five paragraph essay in this forum, but here goes: Overall the language is strong, you have some very good ideas, and the essay has strong, linear movement from opening to conclusion. That's good. You do have a few (well, maybe a few more than a few) grammatical errors, (some run-on sentences and a couple of spots where a semicolon rather than a comma is needed), and a couple of spelling errors, but these are fairly easy to correct. Overall I would consider it a good first draft, but it needs some tightening and polishing. I would make the introduction a little less general to start. I don't think the third person %26quot;we%26quot; serves you very well in the opening. Most of %26quot;us%26quot; do not undergo anything close to the %26quot;horrific events%26quot; that Anne Frank endured. If you want to keep it this way, you might want to tone down the rhetoric a bit in reference to the universal %26quot;we%26quot;. In other words, say something to illustrate your point that hardship in general often seems to have a maturing effect on developing adolescents, and that nowhere is this illustrated more poignantly than in the story of Anne Frank.
Personally, I think that Anne Frank' s growth and maturation throughout her ordeal is anything but typical; that it is in fact quite extraordinary given the circumstances. But that would be a different thesis entirely . . . That she was able to achieve such growth and spiritual development in spite of her circumstances, rather than due to them. I'm not arguing in favor of one thesis over the other, though. Your thesis is entirely valid, and definitely workable. Good luck with your paper, and keep up the good work.
Im stressing!!! help with english paper please! (anne frank)?
This is a good and thought out essay and it is well written so well done. The only thing I would question is the fact that you said Anne lived a carefree life. This I am not sure is the right phrasing you should use. If you have a look at Anne's entry on 20 June 1942 she describes what was happening to the Jewish people because of Hitler. I think carefree suggests that she was completely naive of what was happening to the Jewish community which she was not. Just have a think about that. Its a pity I am not your English or History teacher, I would give you a good mark!
dont stress so much it shortens ur lifethis is a good paper just run through on spelling and grammar some teachers are really anal about that
i think this is an awesome paper!! very thought provoking and easy to relate to!! nice work!! :)
Honestly, I think you did a good job. Nothing seems to be incorrect. Just remember to check for spelling, grammar, and if your paper makes sense! That will help you not stress as much!
I hope I helped!

How do you like these lyrics and what criticism do you have for them?
I want to know how you like this written down. If you'd like to suggest a change, I need the syllable count on each line to remain as they are, though the word choice can change. I know the word choice is weak in spots, so I want changes.
If you have a suggestion for a change, state where the change is- I've had people make that mistake many times before.
**Defuse Life the Bomb**
Nothing here looks real to me.
I cannot feel; I cannot see.
Trapped in lucid dreaming in
Eternal dreamland鈥檚 nightmare.
As this life that I pursue,
It can鈥檛 exist; it is not true,
I find myself an inch away.
But Hev鈥檔 and Hell are identical.
Please, oh, please God- Defuse this bomb.
End this demonic creation.
Forget the Covenants you gave.
Defuse Life the Bomb.
Into the mist that forsakes me.
Invisible, I drown at sea.
Open ocean infinity;
The Cay no one鈥檚 charted.
This virus- it feasts this corpse.
My mind, my thoughts, they all enforce
That my life has lost meaning.
That God鈥檚 presence lies.
Please, oh, please God- Defuse this bomb.
End this demonic creation.
Forget the Covenants you gave.
Defuse Life the Bomb.
Forget the Covenants you gave.
Forget the Covenants you gave.
End you creation-
Defuse Life the Bomb.
In case you are wondering, the music I developed for this is metal. No, not the stereotypical %26quot;scream-metal%26quot;, its Experimental Orchestral Metal. Much like Castlevania.
How do you like these lyrics and what criticism do you have for them?
Rich in pathos and quite sad, I wonder if people would want to dance to it.
How do you like these lyrics and what criticism do you have for them?
Sounds Industrial Metal to me. :P I like it. good job!
Can you check mines? :D

What is a clever title for an essay about Envy?
I had to write an essay for English, and I realized after printing that I forgot a title o.O
Does anybody have any ideas for clever titles for this essay?
It wasn’t until recently that I realized what a negative effect my jealous tendencies have on my life. Without a doubt, I have noticed the codependent traits that I have acquired due to my envious qualities, but I never knew that it would go this far. I have redefined the words “clingy,” “controlling,” and “paranoid.” What I thought to be a form of protection over the people I care about ended up wreaking havoc on my life.
I like to see myself as a very affectionate and loyal person. Others view that loyalty as “clinginess.” After somebody shows even the slightest interest in me, I become attached to them very soon there after. I aspire to have possession over others. This is because of an intense infatuation I tend to obtain after a short time. I feel it necessary for the particular individual to spend as much time as possible with me. If another person were to threaten this special bond I feel that I have, I become enraged. I must be number one, and that is final.
In order for me to attain the amount of attention I require to stay sane, I sometimes have to go to extreme lengths to maintain control of my companions. Once I have received an indication of acceptance from an individual, they become mine. If you were an important person in my life, I can almost guarantee that I would know your schedule better than you would. I need to make certain that I know exactly what is going on with everybody at all times. If I am displeased with where you are going to be or whom you are going to be with, action will be taken to remedy the situation. Along with people and places, I also enjoy controlling simple everyday tasks that one would normally be allowed to perform without thinking twice. I feel that if I have control of you while you are in my presence, there is a better chance that you will behave the same way whilst we are apart. If all else fails in my attempts to capture one’s deepest affections, I will turn to dark, desperate measures to achieve what I yearn for. In my past, I used to perform self-destructive acts upon myself. I can use this weakness to my advantage. Obviously, those who are closest to me do not wish to see me in any sort of pain, whether that is emotional or physical. They will do anything to prevent this occasion, even if it means putting me before other people and responsibilities.
After awhile, people start to catch on to my vicious schemes. This strikes anger in them. Partners become distant, and I automatically assume the worst. Anybody who has been a possible threat in the past becomes my instant enemy. These people intimidate me, as I often see them as better than I see myself. I am constantly checking with my significant other to distinguish whether or not I am worthy of their love. I always feel inadequate, and nothing anybody says can change that. Paranoia begins to take over my mind, and I have completely lost control of my thoughts.
My envious personality has taken over my life. I am trying with all my heart to keep it under control. I have begun to put these efforts into overdrive, as the envy has recently created at rift in one of my most precious relationships. This was a huge wake-up call for me, and it helped me to realize the significance of the misconduct I had been performing. Since the sobering incident, I have reevaluated my thinking patterns, and have made plans to prevent future mishaps with my social interactions. I have been humbled, and I now realize that the best way to build and maintain close relationships is to sit back, and let them run their natural courses.
