I have a problem getting my alone time when I'm having a bad day. For some reason (and maybe it's my own creation) I tend to feel like people hover the more I want to be alone. I've never analyzed if I am just noticing it more when I am down, or if people just truly do not understand that I...

I completely agree with your ideas of being empathetic towards others. I feel that largely apathy has become a huge problem worldwide. You are a very deep thinker Buroo, obviously with a very big heart. I wish more people thought like you, then maybe we would be able to make changes in the...

I am not entirely sure I subscribe to this thought process, but without thinking to hard on exactly what I feel motivates people, and trying to fit into these categories, I would say that I share some traits with power and status. I am a bit of an extroverted person, who enjoys people coming to...

I do agree with what most people here are saying, that if you do not experience you do not truly know what something is like. But like Sandra said there are certain things that I feel I do not need to experience to know about, life and death circumstances, or even painful circumstances such as...

I agree that we cannot change the past. That does not, however stop me from wishing pretty frequently that I could. I disagree that every mistake we have made are learning experiences. Some of my mistakes have simply been stupid, and I would love to be able to fix them. There really is no...

I suppose that cannibalism isn't truly the savage ritual that most people view it as. Cannibals (in my understanding) do not raise humans like herds of cattle in order to later butcher them and eat them. It almost always has some type of symbolism after a war between tribes. I think the...

I have personally always had a very soft spot for anyone that I feel is less fortunate than myself. It is important to care about others in this world, as everyone, no matter who they are or what they have in their lives, has needed someone at some point. Sometimes it is a cup of coffee...

I do not know exactly where I stand, as I feel that it is a social thing now among those living in the United States (I don't claim to know statistics on other countries). I did however learn a few interesting facts about male circumcision while taking a Human Sexuality course in college...

I do not feel that this is possible. I wish it was, as there are many different times in my life that I would love to travel back to. I am not familiar with this theory, is this based on the idea that you are traveling back into your own memory, or would you actually relive the experience you...

I would agree that in some other countries people are treated in these inhumane ways, and yes even in the United States to a smaller degree as we do have a system of justice, which I will agree is somewhat corrupt pretty frequently. However I do not agree that at least in countries that have a...

I could not agree more!!! I on the opposite coin do believe in God, but I am completely on your side with the whole idea that religion is used to force and terrorize rather than to comfort and guide. There is this great poet on Youtube that created this awesome video about the subject of God...

This story is wonderful so far!! I am very interested in what happens after this. I love to read and this is my genre, so I will definitely be checking this thread again to see if you have added the next portion of her story :) The only thought I had is that you should be careful not to be...

Sandra this post is wonderful!! I love these types of ideas. It is so important to me to instill these types of important ideas into my children, and sometimes with the trials of daily life it can be hard to realize that you are not always doing that. I love the quote "You don't have to be the...

Is this a book that you are writing, have written or are thinking about writing? This kind of story is right up my alley lol. I love this type of work. I think your prologue is very interesting, and drew me in enough to want to know where you were headed with this :) Awesome job!! Keep up...

That is a really interesting point. Like I said earlier this thread is making me think :). I was in no way trying to demean any religious beliefs at all, I was just making the point that there are many different belief systems and not everyone accepts religious explanations for things. I...
