Description I often wish I'd treat everyone like they were my brothers and sisters.
I wish I could dress like I didn't care what others thought.
I wish I could dance like no one was watching.
And sing like no one listened.
I'd love to be like the little kid inside me still is to this day.

Instead...... I like so many of us, live my life for the approval of others
and in fear of doing things wrong or acting a fool.
As if anyone really cared about what I do anyhow.

Most importantly, I wish I could love as though it was the most important thing in this world, because really and truly.......

It Is.

I'm okay really.
I'm still in physical therapy trying to get leg muscles back to the way they used to be but thankful I can now walk.
The money issue got a slight bit better then BAM...hot water tank springs a leak and $500.00 (750.00 euros) later I had to get a new one. It never stops with the money pressure here. When you said you liked it here and never saw things so big, you forgot to account for who pays for all this junk and I mean most of it is just junk for real. We work 52 weeks a year never getting vacations and get robbed in our pay and benefits because big companies can get away with it through crooked politicians.
The biggest company we have is Wall-Marts and the average pay from them is $8.26 an hour and only 32 hours a week so you never get to be full time and of course no benefits for part time workers.(Thats 6.05 euros or 45.17 DKK)
YOu also forget to see that anything we have is built on huge debt that we never get done paying for. No one can afford to get sick because our medical bills are the largest in the world and yet we are rated as 36th in the world for health.
Were also rated as as down to number 32 in happiness. 31 other countries people are happier than we are is what that means.
We die faster than in any country because of the pressure at every moment. We miss a pay check or lose a job and everything crashes down and you may be in the streets next. Everyone in the family works to bring money in.
We make up 5% of the world population and consume 82% of all the drugs were so unhappy.

Anyhow....no one cares and sorry to get off course here. I just remember things you wrote before is all.
Summer's here and it's already hot as heck. Everyday it's 93 degrees F and no rain and we'll have 7 more months of this yet to come in florida.

My cats are good so I love that. They get treated like queens. I'm doing a lot of work in my yard fixing any weeds and replanting things.
All in all...I'm not very happy because of tending to so many things I haven't much control over but I'm doing better so I'm grateful for that.Β 
I'm also grateful that you said hello for no reason other than just being a friend. thanks so much and may god bless all you do and heal you soon too......dennis

I've never really understood why people over here adore the US so much to be honest... But everyone seem to be so eager to go there and wants things to be as they are over there... But when I tell them about the huge waste and extremely bad food quality and health conditions, as well as the criminality and so on, most people don't even get it... The US is like some sort of far-away-paradise thing to europeans...
We surely don't know how good we are living here.

Even when I was in the states with my class and we were asking a doctor questions aboout your health care system, he tried to defend it, but nothing of what he said made any sense... And he even tried to say that it was better than our system... But seriously, we take care of each other? my dad may pay 60% of all his income to the state, but those money may save a life or more for those who would otherwise be unable to pay for a trip to the hospital?Β 

It's good to hear you are up and able to to something now, and I'm happy your cats are good as always!Β 
I hope you'll only get better in time!

NO NO NO......you don't have to listen to that doc who is getting rich off this system of putting everyone on life long drugs to simply help with symptoms is all and cure NOTHING EVER.
All the documentaries report the same thing....were always ranked in the 30s in all studies. 32 in health care...36 in happiness. An MRI that costs $1,500.00 here is $95.00 in Japan and other countries or FREE in civilized countries like your yours.
If ours is so good like that bull**** doc says then why did they just change the whole thing again???
The answer is no one can afford to get sick here. You get sick or an accident and it takes you into bankruptcy here is know by everyone. Pills that average $10.00 EACH or up to $10,000.00 for one shot!!!!!

I did like this country so much anymore as it continues to erode away while the corruption is rampant in Washington DC and no one seems to care.Everyone KNOWS but no one will lift a finger to do anything as everyone says...you can't fight city hall.
It's tragic for those of us that fought wars to make this country great and now it seems those hero's died for nothing. I should have NEVER EVER fought for this land. I was young nd stupid and they asked me to go too.

I'm getting better physically but I'm worse off mentally as my spirit is taking a beating and I'm very unhappy it seems. Friends are all too busy to even talk much anymore here.
Most people are far from being my friend anyhow....we just know each other it seems and people are bad at relationships in this society because it's always about them.

Okay I talked to much..sorry....bye and be well. denn

I know, we talked a lot about how stupid he sounded afterwards...
I don't care much about this world anymore... No one is treated fair...Β 

I'm so sad for you, and I'm sorry I'm not much a comforter right now.
I wish you would feel better and at least, apreciate to still be alive, I know it's hard when life is so rough on you, and I know you have done nothing wrong, but I have just recently learned to price life higher than anything.
I hope you will get only better, as you deserve nothing less my friend!Β

The very words you write serve to sustain me in many way, for it's then I again realize there are good people still around us all if we look enough.
Have no fear my dear....I am soooooooo grateful to awake everyday alive and can take care of myself. I feel badly at times sure and get it out talking about things but I love life and treasure that gift always. I've always thanked God for everyday as well as every meal I get.
As bad as I get it at times there are still many that suffer far more so there is always things to be grateful for as you already know.

I to not only believe but see everyday how unfair it all is in life and that a tiny few have so much wealth they can pay to take care of almost any problem and live with little fear about the things you and I deal with everyday.

As I've written before, this isn't my world. I NEVER in a million years aw this kind of world developing. I was so angry when we attacked Iraq years ago and as an X-soldier told everyone this isn't a winnable war because the people are not with us.
Yesterday on NPR radio Hillary Clinton said she was as wrong as she could be voting for it and made a terrible mistake backing Busch and Chaney. Well....it looks like not Baghdad will also fall as no one wants to fight for their country there and giving up all the deaths our soldiers paid the price for and the untold TRILLIONS we spent teaching them how to defend themselves as they now give up in droves without firing a shot and it will go back to the same as it was with Hussane only with a different set of names in control. So many died for what now seems like nothing but they're all hero's to me still, just doing what a corrupt government told them to do and lied about everything for money.

Talk about unfair...how about giving your life at 19 years old and never got any further. It brings tears to my eyes really and yet no one pays here with jail time or expulsion or anything at all as usual.

Maybe I told you I found $31.00 in my pants after wash and dry that made me smile for two days. I love finding money in the laundry because it's like I never knew I had it. Good things do happen and I meant two fantastic people at the V.A. here that were the nicest people you could ask for and did all they could to be kind, so of course they still exist but too small a number to change this world anymore I think.
I take the time to write wonderful letters to the hospital head praising those few good people and I never knew they were so much appreciated. So far three people I wrote about broke down crying as the letters were read to them because hardly a soul takes the time to thank anyone today publicly or privately either. I love doing that because it makes another human being feel they make a difference and makes them feel good about themselves like we should all feel but hardly ever do as the system beats us all down.

It won't get you or me down for good ever so may love and kindness be at your door always....dennis.

If only it was just my life, and not my aunt's...
Two little girls are about twoo loose their mother at only 7 and 9 years of age...
My mom have spent everyday in their house and now on the hospital, and she's a work a holic, but stopped working.

I'm in the middle of my finals and end my school in a week, my party isn't planned everyne is asking for a wishlist, and cangratulate me with my exams... But I feel nothing but fear and anxiety... I'm not ready for this, not with this chaotic situation in my family...Β 
Winter is over and the summer had begun, but in my haert I feel nothing but cold...

It's not fair! She is so young?! her kids are so young?! My family was finally getting together and now this?!...

I just can't...

I'm sorry...

I hope you will get better, and that you stay strong, for this world will apparently never bring us happyness....

arteater1 In reply to Kuroo-Ryu [2014-06-16 19:16:49 +0000 UTC]

I can't say anything that will be of help to you I'm sure. I wish I could.
I have no answers to why this life we live is just about as unfair as it it gets. To be honest, it smacks of NO ONE being in charge at all in life, and it's the luck of the dice as to what happens to us.

This is one reason why I get so upset when the news talks about our soldiers losing thousands of lives and the innocent victims in those countries that did NOTHING get killed like flies as well.
In Iraq it's over 800,000 civilians so far...DEAD. Our kids at about 5,000 to date and thousands permanently maimed and handicapped costing this country over 100 BILLION to take care of them now and in the future.
It brings tears to my eyes about not getting to live a life and going early hurting so many people with heart break and yet the jerks in this country pay no attention and just laugh and play and get drunk and feel NOTHING for others.

In some ways it's almost better to NOT have a family or close ones to us, but then we would miss something so beautiful from those individuals spirits that this isn't an option either.
I have chosen to think this, and maybe it will help you I hope just a tiny bit.

One...We have the choice to either have them in our lives and then miss them, or not have them at all.
I choose to be with them even if it's just for a while.

Two...We can get all down and depressed they are leaving or gone and yet the world they go to HAS...... and I mean HAS........ to be better than this crap we go though. So who's the sad one??? Maybe we should really rejoice they go to a better place and prepare the way for us to not suffer anymore too. Perhaps they are the angels that now will help to look after us in this life, and I could use all the help I cold get to be honest.

Third...There is a beautiful lesson in all this and the unfairness and un-knowing of the future if we're willing to listen. That is when you find a friend or loved one....hang on to them like precious pieces of gold, and never let them go. Maybe that means eating crow, or saying I'm sorry or doing what ever we can to keep that person in our lives and be grateful for them every moment they're here with us. This out look enhances that relationship so much as we treat people and animals as if this may be the last time we see them. For in the end....that will be the real case for every one of us............

If we really knew there was a heaven we should be so glad, and yet...we only really hope there is and we only pray this is true.

For the record your not right about this world never bringing us happiness my dear....it does. But it brings it in small doses and for short periods of time it seems and then beats us up some more. Also for the record it isn't God or any other power that does this to us. It's us human beings that have wrecked our society choosing money...fame...lies....things......no morals....no ethics and a type of life style that God said would lead to unhappiness as it has. why He doesn't act is another thing I haven't a clue about but it's us people that have ruined what could have been a beautiful wonderful place and life.

I know you know this, and you have had some happiness in life also, but need to be reminded in this time of crisis.Β 
I will survive and so will you, even if Β it's with a heart that is battered and bruised at times. I hope the pain is easy and you recover rapidly, or maybe....even a miracle happens this time. I hope so for both of you.

The deal is pretty simple here. I would move if I could but I can't afford to with all the operations.

Next......I know everything in the world is MY FAULT....I'm looking in the wrong places huh. I usually don't LOOK at all, but always on the look -out for good people whenever I'm out. I don't go looking in gang land hide-outs or gambling joints or houses of prostitution either just to let you know. If I did go looking, it would be in churches or art museums or chess houses or shopping malls or theaters I guess. The animals shelters ALWAYS have some of the best people working their too so I do enjoy meeting those kind of people.


Now please tell me what I'm do wrong that because you're a girl and get guys real easy when you're YOUNG.....and I'm NOT...tell me all the mistakes I'm making in my obvious attempt to make MYSELF miserable. Please....I would love to have some good info because I obviously can't take care of myself and just keep making mistakes because I guess I'm not smart like everyone else in the world is.

Or If I may ask you respectfully....could it be..........Could it just possibly be that I'm not LIKE the rest of the world engaged in stupid social media trash or television they waste their lives on watching things make for a two year old, and then spending hours a week watching commercials as well, that I hate. Perhaps the bars and getting drunk is what I should do like everyone else or maybe drugs as well.
Could it just be that I'm not mean and angry and want to hurt others and go to war like everyone else and conquer everyone else, and laugh about it after it's done like we've done all over the world?

Maybe I'm not into horror movies and blow people up, torture everyone and kill everything that moves movies, that are the number one box office draws in this country. Perhaps I'm nothing like the people that fight and argue everyday about everything and give everyone the finger and insult them all the time for not agreeing with them about things. Maybe I like others so much I've given almost all my money away to those in real need, and now I have nothing left because I had thought God was going to help me if I ever needed it.

I thank you for your help and trying...but honestly you have me so wrong it's as If I never meant the person you're talking to. But I'm thankful for your comment.

I'm sorry to be so bold or acting so superior because I'm not at all but I HAVE those virtues and I"M SO PROUD OF THEM in myself but today they count for nothing.

Being kind to animals and kids.
Protecting the weak or sick
Honest and almost NEVER LYING.
Not misleading others.
Honest in all business deals or with money(NO ONE does this today)
Put others first most of the time.
Help anyone that needs it.
Integrity and total pride in the way I live life.
Obey all the laws or rules of society.
Hardest worker I know of.
God fearing and gentle to those I care for.
Forgiving


Im sorry...no one wants to read someone telling good things about themselves and this must sound awful but it's true.....I do try hard with these things but today no one and I mean NO ONE cares about those virtues.Β 
The jerks and idiots of this world want power or fame or money or if your a star or not or how many moronic friends you have on facebook or number of followers on twitter.
This junk disgusts me it's so shallow and phony!!
And yes I need some more joy in my life because the good person I am isn't looked on with esteem like I would have thought in a world gone nuts.

XD ok, that last comment of mine was a bit hard to read: I was complimenting you on the virtues you had.

But I must agree: there's no way to say that you're satisfied with who you are without looking like an arrogant fathead. That said: I'm rather alright with myself too. But, as we are both God- fearing people, I think it's best for us both to see our personal flaws and to try to justify on behalf of others for their flaws.
Of course, you probably are already doing so.

So... Moo.

I just didn't make it clear is all because I'm riddled with flaws but I was trying to say is that I TRY HARD is all. I may not succeed all the time but I do try and yes it does make a difference to me when I foul things up. I don't ever do it on purpose but I mess things up just like anyone but I keep it to a minimum and do make the effort to do things right and be fair and kind to others.

Where my biggest problem is with jerks and crooks and liars. When I come into contact with that kind of person I'm NOT nice at all. Hard as I try I still get angry and tell people they're a jerk to their face when I know I shouldn't do that.

My excuse is this and it's real to me. I'm just so tired of the law breakers and cold uncaring morons of this world that are into nothing but themselves. I'm just so so tired of so many of the millions of foreigners that flow into here and do all the crime and take all the jobs for cheap and use all our health-care, lower our schools and generally bring down our society and lower our class and make dignity a bad word that no one pays any attention to now.

I get tired of seeing a once great nation hated by the world and keeps going lower and lower in the ratings of crime, education, happiness that were now number 36 in. That's right 35 OTHER countries are Β happier than we are because it's all about money here and having to live with people that don't like us and must change ourselves to fit in with others that got kicked out of their country.

I have many flaws...but I try always to do good and do what would make God happy.Β

You're fine. Everyone has their flaws. I know a number of people like you well enough to know their efforts, so you don't need to defend yourself. Not against me, anyway.

To start: never underestimate the power of prayer (you know this already). Pray for those jerks, and God bless America! XD

But know that history has the bad habit of repeating itself. Our country has its ups and downs, and we're beginning to get near the peak of the current "down".
Of course, we don't know how deep this "down" is, but odds are that we'll find out before we die.

Are these problems you listed big? Most of them are a yes, especially when it comes to pop culture. People need to know this kind of stuff.

But, whether you're ready to go out and announce it to the world is up to you. Are you good at teaching? Or do you prefer someone else to speak?
If you're Christian, you should know about Charisms. If not, look them up anyway. They're pretty interesting and could help you.

I'm a wonderful speaker and a great communicator. If you forgive me for saying. I'm no-body...no one cares what a no-body says. They want someone famous and even then they hear things and yet pay no attention to it. All I said has been " "clearly, CLEARLY" documented in books, movies, web-sites and documentaries. Oh yeah a few people get angry Β and then that fades away and life goes on.
Getting the news out isn't my point. Just look at the tv program "60-Minutes" that tells us so much of the bad things going on and no one does anything about it.

No...it's NOT the news or whats happening that bothers me as much as why no one is interested enough to do anything about it! We sit at home and do nothing today because everyone's scared! In this country everyone is afraid to do or say anything because they think it may cost them their job or get in legal trouble or lose a day of work and they can't afford that because were all so much in debt.

The generation of the 1960's (50 years ago) marched to free blacks, kicked out a corrupt president, stopped the war in Vietnam, empowered woman with marching and boycotting, and oh yeah in their spar time put 12 people on the moon!!!!!!!! The people of the 1940's fought a WORLD WAR and saved us all from tyranny!!!!
What great people those generations were and today....NOTHING.........nothing at all to help anyone or our society or country as we rapidly go down and down to nothing. China and India are going to take over as the top countries next and China already has in many ways. THEY LOAN US money today, and make everything we buy already.

I already know a good bit about those spiritual gifts. God has never seen fit to trust me with any I guess because I have next to none I guess. Some like playing with snakes are just fakes and people looking for power or money from others is all...just fakery.

I wish for you nothing but good things and constant blessings.Β

Well, whatever makes you tick. I can spout Platitudes all day in a vain attempt to encourage you. As far as the problem with people not marching or getting angry much these days; I think it's because people don't feel there's anything to fight about. Not many people are into politics because they're rather happy with their miserable lives. Such misery isn't over the barrier of comfort just yet.

And I may beg to differ on the Charism thing. Every christain has them whether they know it or not. Many Charisms are "uncharted" and we only have the most common 24 to work with for the most part. And like a skill, they must be practiced and they will get stronger (unless of course it's a Charism that more or less can't be practiced, like prophecy)

And ditto. I'll be praying for you.

thanks for a wonderful note. We do disagree on the Charism thing as most people think it's almost all fake junk. Notice I didn't say they were bad people or even know they're being lied to and used. I think most of them are great people except the leaders that fake this stuff to attract others and get money.
YOu see us human beings are so neurotic and frail...we long for a power greater than we are. We thirst for that power and if it isn't available to us...we'll make it up.

History proves me right a million times over. From thinking volcanoes were gods to trees, to the gods of the Greeks, to animals being gods and a MILLION other things we made up. I think most of this is still just that....people so wanting god to show himself to us that we'll even make things up to feel closer to him.
My guess is at least you'll see my point here if not agree. what I just said is 100% true of course because history proves what I said but the reason may not be your choice. Every culture in every land made up their own gods for thousands of years before you and I think we have the right one. Of course MOST others in this world are NOT CHRISTIANS as we think everyone should be. Most of the world is Hindu or Muslim to be factual.

I thank you for the prayers that I can use more than most anything...thanks so much.And your right about the platitudes....they do nothing usually except make the person that says them feel like they've helped I guess. I'm into actually doing something and really helping someone instead of cheap talk like most people do. thanks so much.

More accurately the people in this country for the most part are not only sheep but sheep are smarter than most of this population
We gone so low that we can't even graduate the majority of high school kids today as our country gets worse and worse with ever month.

I love the prayers and need them but really...I don't see them doing very much for me. My life just gets worse and my health poorer and more financial issues....just as if God doesn't see or hear anything.
I choose of course NOT to believe that but a good case can be made about that comment.
It brings terrible pain to me also because I had drunken parents that never did anything for me and I did it all myself and at times i seem to get the same thing from god.

It brings me pain and anxiety even saying that but I'm done hiding the truth about life.

All the best to you.

I think this is a big part of the thoughts making us depressed and feeling down, because we think we are not good enough for the society and people around us.
We should just do as you say, stop caring so much about what other people thinks, and just act natural.

I have my nearest friends and my bf with whom I can act as foolish as I want and they would laugh with me act goof around too. that's the only way we can be free, I guess. That's why we are with those friends after all, because we can be who we are with no filter.

We should love them for that, and most of all love ourself for being who we are, no matter what anyone else thinks!Β 
Love is precious yet so vulnurable... We must care for it and enjoy every little fraction of it. For it is so rare nowadays...Β

The truest thing I ever heard you say was that last comment where you said the love may not always be visible. I agree, but then tell me what good anything is that we can't see or not know about, or have access to, or anything else.
It's like someone starving to death and we tell them, don't worry because there's plenty of food around even though you can't see it.

Okay....so does that fill the persons stomach or take the pain of starving away??? Of course not.

To say I'm so loved but don't know it, must not do any good because I sure don't feel it, and it seems real to me that when no one says it or acts like...what good is it???

A person needs an operation and can't because of no money. We tell them don't worry there is plenty of money in this world and it's out there.
Did that help to heal or do that person one bit of good...or did that statement help "US" because we don't know what else to say?

Even in a persons dark days, those around him just help themselves with words because they're afraid bad things could happen to them as well, so they say pretend things to make themselves feel better and meanwhile the hurt person still hurts.

I know you get my point dear because your one of the good ones.

I agree with your comment about being funny and acting out but your so young and SOON you'll see that adults don't get much opportunity to do that, and it's so much harder latter in life. When I was young I did NOTHING but make everyone around me laugh too. Today your looked on as a nut or mental case doing that all the time.

Thanks for the comment and words of encouragement...I can use them as always.
Peace to you as always too. dennis

They trow it away Β as easily as a used paper towel and then complain forever how hard it is to find. Love is the greatest gift of all but is one we have to work hard at. that usually means we have to see that most things in life aren't worth arguing or fighting over and we take turns getting what we want instead of everything going to one person. Love is making the other person happy even if it's over your happiness at that moment too.

I'm sorry to say I've lost hope it even exists in any great quantity today as the young people today are as selfish as I've ever seen and everything seems to be about them. The love of the kids issss nothing like real love and is only lust or excitement having someone pay attention to them. I hope one day love will be yours forever and a day.

MY friend....not often do people say such cruel things to people as your ugly or whatever.

YOU see we get to know what we look like in life by feedback from society.
Our family can tell us how beautiful we are a million times but if no one ever asks you out....you KNOW very fast what the deal is.

We can look in the mirror and do all that stupid pretend junk but if your two g/f get all the attention and everyone leaves you in the corner by yourself while they dance up a storm...we catch on real fast. People are not dumb about these things.
When no one wants to pair up with you or wants you on their team we catch on very fast we suck at sports.

Telling ourselves a lie I don't think helps much at all.

Go and change some things and work at being pretty by being nice to everyone and dressing as nice as possible I think is a better idea or go practice at sports and do the best you can.

Effort is what's required at times and not just pretty phony words don't you think???

Very true indeed. But truth to be told:there are many things that we want to believe is truth but in fact are just nice words with empty content.Β  I could almost write a novel about how many times I was chasing false prentenses, even though when myself I knew it was probably too good to be real.
The question really is: if one choose to stick to the man or decides to accept him or herself the way it is and just being him/herself, which is quite an important thing.
The moment you find the other one who accept you the way you are, everything else is just minor details.

I'm not arguing and I think your right here but when you say someone that accepts you like you are...that conjures up some idea or image of some big fat, dumb, doesn't care ab out anything person that does there best to simply make themselves unattractive and mean and others are supposed to like that!!

I'm exaggerating some here I know to make my point.

I think it's up to us to be in shape...healthy as best we can.....well groomed....smart or up to date in subjects....honest....nice to others most of the time.....happy around others a good bit of the time....kind to animals or children ...well read etc.

THEN after you've done the work to make yourself something others would WANT to be with then you can say this is me and I hope you like me but if not then we're just not a good match is all.

In this society now all I see is lazy idiots that are into themselves and do nothing to improve themselves and then put that all on other people that they don't like me the way I am.
I say...GIVE others something to like in the first place and not just some lazy lump of lard that watches tv all day. I know you get my point here.

I meant some 20 year old girl at the gym last week and she asked me a question and I said that was something from World War II......she looked at me like I was from another planet and asked what that was????
Now tell me how does anyone not know what WWII is? What do they teach in school that people are so frigging stupid they don't know anything today except twittering and facebook????

See this is an example of someone that if she is sooooooooooo beautiful with a perfect body I would walk away from her so fast because I have to live with the person all day long talking to them and sharing our thoughts. If someone HAS NO THOUGHTS then life becomes just misery for me and I could NEVER take her like she is.Β

Many young ppl nowadays dont seem to understand what love is about. To describe it precisely: love is never selfish, only gives but never ask anything in return, love is patient and understanding. I must admit that I used to be quite affection selfish in the past and sometimes the bad memories still comes up. I dont justify myself nor trying to say its allright, cause its definitely not. Its the fear, the fear of not being good enough for the others. My fear of trying to please others and not losing their respect while forgetting to follow my own road
..lets just say that life dragged me into many situations I didnt wanted to be thanks to me not being able to decide emotionally and thus only hurting others at the end of the day even though I never wanted to and being looked down by people I thought to be at my side. For the rest, well, already told you most of it in previous pm messaging
I have confidence (despite my heart acting like a stormy ocean) in His grace and that He will help me find my true soul mate, hopefully sooner than later.
On a side point to add: I believe that with each people I could have helped even if for a little bit, I did contributed to make the world a bit of a better place and thats all it matters, when you do what your heart tells you to do.

I've read the bible many times as well and I know the part that tells about love. If we apply that to us human beings I think love is almost non-existent don't you think.
Almost everyone is today is as selfish as possible that I see.

I' so sorry my friend...you're such a good person and I hate to disagree with you.
I don't see God as running a dating service....I don't see him playing football games or baseball or sports.
if god didn't help 6 and !/2 MILLION jews in WWII then why does it matter to him if you or I have a b/f or g/f???

God lets millions of animals starve or die as well as millions of people every week but he's out looking for a soul mate for me huh??? Please my dear friend....I don't think this is the way it works.

I think we are to go out nad stay in the mix with people and work at looking as good and healthy as we can and go out to things like church where others like us are and meet people so that love can take it's own course.

I think you do a wonderful thing helping others and are a gift to this world in changing it for the better...Keep up the great work.

I know what you meanΒ  and as much as I dont like to say it: God way of doing things are impossible to predict as in all.Β  But saying that he would ignore anyone in need is a bit steep. However people need to understand that sometimes you need to do your own part of the work to get help with the rest. Obviously enough, Hes not some sort of magician or "grant-a-wish" service.Β  The biggest duty of man, as a society member is to help out his fellows too, as much as possible.
However be sure of one thing: He never lets down the one who believe in him. Actually here is some though to add:
when corruption spreaded on earth, He just could have erased life from it in all. But He did decided not to because He did care for humans. When He sent his Son, to free humanity from its sin, it was also an act of grace. Do you think He enjoys seeing people suffering and dying? He does not, in facts, as some verses of Bible describes, He despise death. But there are some things that not even Him can really affect, at least not in the way we expect it to be.Β  In His eyes, we are all equal, there are no more preferred or less preferred ones.
If we want things to change (and thats to many things in life), we need to begin the change by ourselves and then everything else.
I understand and respect your opinion, dont get me wrong on that. But things are way more complex in life than one might think, way more difficult.
What comes about the last part: one needs to look after the people forgotten by the masses, one needs to stand up and raise their voice against the injustice, especially since its the only way one shall expect to be treated the same back.

YOU see this is when we talk REAL life now!!!! thanks for that.
I've long since saw that God didn't seem to do much in my life, and I concluded from reading and observation that it's "WE" that are his angels, and it's "WE" that should be at work doing his will to others and doing the miracles they need such as feeding or clothing or protecting and caring for them.

God created all this, and put the laws of nature into affect and those laws kill the good or bad just the same.
Tornadoes, earthquakes, cancer, heart attacks and cars kill all of us without caring if they're just or not just people.

I'm just as weak much of the time as anyone too, because I pray god takes care of me with the next surgery or makes the dental appointment easy on me too. Today I pray far more for thanking God for food or house or health or money things than asking him to give me things but if my life were in danger....OH YEAH!!! I'd be asking God to help me all I could. And yet a million people die everyday and most of them pray too so .....I see what the truth is I guess, and still can't stop myself from asking at times because as human beings were all desperate at times in a world that doesn't care about us one tiny bit, and were NOTHING but dust and life goes on without us.

I see so much wisdom in what you wrote and truly you must have the Holy Spirit in you to know some of the things it took me years to figure out. I too think that God is self-limiting with his power and sets boundaries for even what He can do.

And here's the answer I think as to why this is.
God needs something.......he needs our love. Without love....God is merely the creator, and not God. With love He is the End all of all things. Without love he is just the inventor is all.

I see things almost exactly as you do and of course in many ways it's so complicated but I have to shorten my answers about things and usually can't go into depth because of time but mostly because no one reads it anyhow. Most people don't want to KNOW the truth or anything to do with real things.
We can't even talk about the truth today in many ways.

All the best to you and thanks for a really good, bright reply. dennis

Many people are afraid to face the facts, the prefer to cover their ears and eyes, pretending nothing happened. They just dont see where this society is heading, how assholish the world became. Most of them never learn to appreciate what they have unless they are about to lose it all (and by that I dont mean you but people in general)
Sometimes I think that each time He looks down, it makes Him sad. Sad because He never meant us to suffer: unfortunatly the man is the biggest threat of man. Greed, selfishness and money hunger is what truly killing this world.
But as long as there are people willing to make the difference, all hope is maybe not lost.
I think that God likes to communicate his will through people, to tell people the message of hope, that he is still around.
Keep safe brother, God bless you.

Not many people prefer to NOT face the facts....MOST ALL people are that way in my observations so your so right about that.

I would think we break his heart always but you know what....why did he make us then in the first place and He HAD to know we'd turn out this way or He isn't God. He had to know that evil would spread and infect us all and satan would rule a people given to do anything they wish.Β 
Perhaps he did it for the few....the tiny few that do good and do love and do help and act like angels or like God himself in the form of a human beings. I don't know because I'm just not smart enough to figure out all the big issues that have troubled man for thousands of years. We still don't know many things that mean everything to us in life. We don't know if heaven really exists or is it something we just made up to make life and death bearable???

I must be very happy then because I get it all the time for telling the truth. I live in a society that isn't mine anymore...filled with people I don't know Β and think nothing like. I long for that day when life becomes sweet, and pain and suffering are gone.

God gave the choice for us, humans, to decide which path we take, BUT with the full knowledge that our actions will have their consequences too. However to who will believe in him, He gave us the chance of redemption, the chance for eternal life. You could say that its some sort of challenge of ones faith.
Dennis, you are a good guy, in fact even a better person that I could ever become. Even if you may not always notice it, God is listening, He didnt forgot you. If you wish, I will pray for your behalf too.

I would consider those prayers for me as a huge gift from someone that gets nothing from me really in return, so yes I could use the prayers for health....patience to love others even though they don't live the kind of life I would like to see, like respect for others, caring for others and law abiding citizens that aren't looking to get in your face every time something happens. This is south florida where I live...home of most criminals and people that drag this country down and you and I pay for that to happen. You and I pay for foreigners to get free medical, housing loans or subsidies, food stamps...education for all, minority jobs for free and yet they keep dragging the school system down and down and yes again...you and I pay for it all including 4 MILLION people behind bars....130 BILLION dollars a year our of our pockets.

In any race of people there are good and bad of course and to those good ones in those races, my love and respect as if they were my brothers, but I don't get to live in an area where many of the good ones are. And those few good ones are inside they're houses scared to go out, or say anything to anyone about behavior. Everyday of my life we deal with crime, and yet even the victims are too afraid to be a witness in their own case society feels so threatened because no longer can the police protect people.

We clean up and do the paper work afterwords today is our main function.

YOU don't know it because this is justice dept facts. We used to find 87% of all murderers in the 60s and today were down as an average in this country to 35%!!!!!!!!
2 out of every three walk away with nothing. 6,000 a year get no results of arrest for murder at all while we boast of DNA.....video cameras, cell phone records.....computers all tracked to every key stroke today for all of us.....lo-jacks in cars and listening to conversations and reading mail...video cameras everywhere and tip lines galore, and yet we keep going backwards at every turn and it's hard....I mean really hard for me to live like this. It breaks my heart.
I live in a world where the innocent suffer and the savages laugh and party with very little fairness in any of our lives.

And for the record my friend...I'm not one bit better than you in anything....I just try harder than most is all and fail and try again and again.

May God bless you always...denn I'm grateful for the prayers.

I thank you for the kind words. Money means very little to me is a really accurate statement, but now that I have very little it does mean more to me than ever before. I don't even dream of getting rich, but having a roof and food and take care of myself is important these days since this economy and corrupt government has taken all I had. My house is worth 50% less thanks to wall-street collapse in 2008 and a fortune 500 company filing bankruptcy and stiffing 47,000 of us by stealing our retirement funds and now price fixing is allowed so none of us can get a break on anything anymore, as it's all fixed and they all charge the same thing. Look at cell phones or television or food or anything really. Mortgage rates, interest rates, loan amounts...it's all the same and competition that made us what we were, is simply gone, and that was done by corrupt politicians taking billions from corporations for campaigns and then turn their back so that same companies can loot the American public. And it's all legal because all the politician has to do is NOTHING...just turn his back and look the other way and enforce none of the laws. That's how Wall-Street happened in the first place and NOTHING has changed.

I'll save my breath and shut up as talking does no good with a generation of idiots that care for nothing in life but themselves and what they can get. The rest of us sacrificed for this country and society to make it great at one time Β and we lasted but a tick of the clock and now China and India will take our place very soon and we'll be left as an International flea market here where people do business is all. I'm so angry I fought for this country that is no longer mine.

I wish I at least felt like I mattered to god or anyone really. And it's NOT all my fault. I go by the feedback I get from everyone around me. God has not spoken to me EVER or done miracles that I know of or people don't hold me in high esteem anymore as honesty and character mean nothing to most people. I do all I can to be a great person and help any person or animal and yet it goes totally unnoticed by almost everyone. So my point is it's not just a matter of thinking or being positive although I know full well that this is very important and I do work on that allot. In fact that is the reason I'm still alive and well. Even my own country and Veterans Administration treats us like dirt as you've read or heard in the paper. Any of us could have told people this for years now but all of a sudden it's breaking news that we can't get even average medical care at the VA.
38 guys got aids last year from the Miami VA from using colonoscopy equipment they saved money on, by NOT sterilizing it !!!!!
Yeah just google it if you don't believe me ...it was in all the papers. Hard to even comprehend someone would do that isn't it? Okay I'm done....who cares is the attitude by almost everyone.

I hate no one is the truth but I don't get along with liars, crooks or criminals at all I'm afraid to say. I'm tired of those that prey on the good people and our government just lets it happen over and over.Β 
We arrested one black guy once that was 38 years old and arrested 51 times already, so you tell me that crime is just a joke for many to get rich from, as in lawyers, judges, cops and private jails and on and on it goes.

All the best to you and I hope your well. Is the job going okay for you. Are you in a good church? I still haven't found a good one down here in Miami. Most don't even speak English. I used to be at the best one ever. those were the best days of my life I think.

To be honest, I dont really go to church, simply because I always say that true religion comes from my heart. That said, if I come around one, I do make sure to light some candle in respect of the place.
Im currently struggling with my exams, no work nor anything, Im quite worried of how next year unif will be happening but right now im crossing my thumbs so that I dont screw it up (my next exam is tomorrow actually ><)
what comes about religion: all i see is that local churches here drove away from the true meaning of christianism, turning it into something that shouldnt have been: greed, money gathering, peadophile scandals ofc hidden away by the Vatican...
even better: people in religious circles are whispering that Pope Francis is the antichrist and he is apparently wearing the Mark of the Beast and such but if you want to know my opionion about it: its just a crapload of lies
They cannot endure that Pope Francis dared to actually ACT for people in need, to use reasoning and yet they claim he must be the Evil in person -.- I dont even understand this whole thing anymore, not that I want to.
As long as I know inside that im acting for the right reason, I dont think I would have much things to regret, God see my soul that I do my best, since thats all we can do as humans: "fighting while fighting and have faith in Him".
I have seen some of the many worse faces of misery and pain, deception and betrayal..but lets keep that one for next time, especially since that subject is kinda touchy for me (you will understand why later on)

I wish you the best for sure and as for churches....I'm not so encouraged by what I see today as you say. I go in the morning and many of the people are all dressed in jeans and t-shirts and the pastor is scared to death to say a word about it because he doesn't want to lose a penny of giving is my guess. If Jesus was really thought to be in the house so to speak, would anyone go there looking like bums????? So much of it is about fund raising and the same old sermons over and over as well. I do love many of the people that go though, because they do try and were all the same in this world just trying to do our best in a world gone nuts.Β 

What I dis-like so much, is those very same people acting like the rest of the world as soon as church is over and you can't tell a christian from a non-christian at all in this society anymore. There should be a difference and yet many of my friends have no religion Β and some of them are far better than some of my christian friends.Β 
That's just so odd to me to be like this.

If people don't see were different in a good way, then I think we may be missing the point don't you think?

All the best on the exams as well and don't forget the trick of using "mnemonics" to remember a list of things. I used it all through college and still to this day I use it.
I have to remember a list of body parts lets say....
Head
Legs
Arms
Chest...........so I develop a sentence that starts with each letter. in this case,"Her legs are clammy" works well and the longer the better is perfect. The weirder the sentence the more it stays with you. Anyhow you get my point.

I was told for years about the molesting of boys in the church and didn't think much of it as just a tiny tiny few but gosh it turns out to be just a hiding place for this kind of behavior and hurt so many lives. I never heard of being able to pay billions of dollars, and in any case just pay MONEY to get out of this kind of thing but ....that church has power and cash that seems unlimited doesn't it. Look at Waco Texas and the government used that as an excuse to go in a kill a hundred people. I'm sorry but I hate this corrupt government as you know and I fought for it...what a jerk I was.

My guess is you had things that make you an expert on this subject of the church, but I won't pry.

I'm not Catholic, but I loved Pope John the most and think Pope Francis is a great man also. This is just EXACTLY what I mean in this world, that someone can do good things and get ripped to shreds by others for no reason at all. The fact is that Jesus came here and spoke of nothing but good and they killed him for it! I've thought so much about things like this and see it as just bringing light to corrupt people and they get angry others will see that corruption and they attack the good ones rather than change themselves and miss out on the cash or power they gained by the evil they do. Been going on like that for thousands of years and nothing has changed at all today.

Of course I'm NOTHING like Jesus at all......... but I've sure had my share of doing good deeds and people say I'm a kiss-ass or trying to make them look bad is the one I get the most. I love to work hard, and yet when I do it, they think I'm trying to make them look poorly or get ahead. Truth is, I work hard all the time even in private at home where no one can see.

I do my best almost always, but I do have faith issues I'm sorry to say. I see this world and God never seems to do anything about it now for over 2 thousand years and my life isn't full of miracles that's for sure. I counted on him so many times and still to this day a good break doesn't seem to happen for me.
Personally I think "WE" are the angels and God does his miracles through us human beings so that tells you very little of them happen today is my observation. I think God made us to be perfect and happy, and yet I don't ever know of a time this was so, and we keep fighting to just stay alive for thousands of years. That Adam and Eve thing ruined it all but how can I think that was fair....God had to know we would be like that as He created us. I would never make a species that I had to kill or punish all the time. I would have more compassion that that for a living thing.
Okay
Just so much dribble Β and nothing get answers I guess. I think it's better to believe that not no matter what. To think this is all there is is just not something I can deal with.Β 

May all good things be yours.

If there is something that would slowly destroying our world is hate and jealousy, its just insane how much people are blind to realise this.
Actually what comes about Jesus: he knew perfectly what would happen, in fact, thats why he spent his last night with his followers. He suffered for us,for our sins so that we wouldnt have to. But lets not forget the third coming, which is very likely to happen one day and that day will be the one when the world will be cleaned from filth and suffering and the one believing in Him will be saved. I personally class myself among the deists, who believe that God created the world but he gave it to us , humans to take care of it to the best of our effort. But remember something: He would never ever make someone suffer who truly believes in him and who is trying to make good deeds. There are many factors in life that not even Him can 100 percent control.
Having faith in something is quite a complicated thing in all, which cannot truly be done unless we do believe, despite the difficulties.To tell you some personal example: if in the difficult times , I didnt had my faith (and at least one of my best friends there to support me), then I think I can safely say that I wouldnt still sit here right now, writing this reply. I understand how you might feel about all of this and i dont think I could blame you for it. Dont want to sound like forcing my believings on you, dont get me wrong ^^Β  God is trying to "reach" us inΒ  many different ways to let us know, that He is here, listening. Sometimes we just need to focus, to listen to our inner voice.
People are in no way perfect from source, thats obvious. Heck, I would hardly call myself as a decent person many of the times. In fact I did so many bad things you would hardly believe, but thats the past. My only big "sin" is that sometimes I can hardly get myself over past humiliations against me

I'm all for you Β and think a great deal of what you wrote is part of my own thinking as well.
I too see it as insanity that people can't see what's going on except that most people are sheep and simply never think, but just do what they're programmed to do. Of course they don't see this, and think they are all brilliant. My cat must think she's brilliant too because she knows so little, she's unaware of what she doesn't know! She's an expert on mice and tuna fish and thinks that's all there is in the world I guess....hahahahahahah

YOU would think that just being nice and kind doesn't cost a thing in life, so our world would be full of it, and yet I see nice kind people beaten to a pulp everyday as they get used and taken advantage of as others even laugh and think it's funny. We're thought of as suckers in this world today it seems.

I don't doubt what you say about Jesus but really, truly I stand by my original point and see the thirst for God to show himself and still nothing....nothing ever happens to let people know God reigns supreme.
Good die everyday...bad live on as usual.....
Praying people die just exactly like those that don't.
Christians die at the same % as any religion.
Prayers don't get answered by the billions everyday, and the just starve to death at every moment. Not much in the way of stats would show being on gods side gets any consideration in this world at all.
So we can't handle that, and then say it's all about the NEXT world, so we don't just chuck it all in and quit everything.

I do so clearly think and have written about God making this world, and then creating us the angels to do the miracles and help others rather than HIM being our servant to do our bidding. We have failed terribly at that plan, as is evident by any thinking person so who made the mistakes here...God had to know it would end like this or he's not god, then why would you do this to people if Β you knew?????

You say that god is trying to reach us by many different ways...are we all so dumb we can't see or hear it or is God not powerful enough to figure a good way to get the message through??
See I'm a thinker, and things just don't make sense to me at times. I know you must feel like this at times as well is my guess.

I also think God is limited in what he can and cannot do as well. YOu see God needs us for one thing....He needs us for love.
Without others love, then God is simply "the creator" and not God at all. I see God as "self-limiting" and He created laws of the universe to hold things together and not God himself.Β 
I've said so many times that this life is so short, and such a nothing in terms of time, that he thinks we can stand anything in this life, for in the end we're with him for eternity.

I hope God doesn't laugh too hard at my thinking process, but all of it is done in an attempt to make sense of things and not give up the faith. I have a true heart in these matters even if I may be wrong about so much.
Anyhow...may all good things be yours and peace always in your life.

Remind me not to write anymore okay..;..I write a good deal so I can hear someone else's views and get back nothing. See this is why people just give up because no one cares anymore but a tiny few of us.
I don't want to take anymore of your time to read a sentence or two because your time is surely far more valuable than mine of anyone else's so....I'm off so you can watch t.v. or something. thanks for nothing as I try to support you and get nothing back. bye, I'm just so tired of people that are only interested in themselves. I'm going to un-watch you now so you won't have to take any precious time to even read anything else.Β

It's okay....it's my fault. I was so disappointed in writing a note with real meaning behind it and then get two sentences back as if..."hey, I'm so into my own thing I have no time for anyone else....not even to reply to your note except to say I have nothing to say."

Anyhow I see you meant no harm, and just didn't have anything to say I guess is all. That concept is so foreign to me I would never even think to say that to someone so it never came to mind I'm sorry to say. I can talk about anything for ever it seems since I spend my whole life studying to know all I can about everything.

I find it bores most everyone, but me of course and I can't ever understand that. The best I can think of is that people just simply want to be entertained today, and knowledge means very little. I've told you before that this isn't my world anymore and things that interest me do nothing for hardly anyone else, and that fact just never seems to sink into my head.

IN my travels with suicide prevention and crisis intervention people can write a book about there problems, and I get so excited because I know how to beat that issue and then I write or tell it in every detail, only to get back a note that says something like..."Thx" or "Okay, cool" or even nothing at all. It's then I know most people just want to complain and solving the issue would move them away from what they have learned to feel good about...even if it's misery or pain.

This is my fault and forgive me as I've had a rough three days now. Pain every night....hot water tank leaked so $477.00 for a new one with money I needed elsewhere.... disagreement with black neighbor that WON"T keep his yard up, won't water or pull weeds or spray and it hurts my lawn and he just takes no pride in his home, as well as parks his frigging TAXI Cab in front and blocks the sidewalk everyday. Do you want to live with a bright orange SUV with giant black letters and taxi phone number on the side???? No one does and he can't afford to live here as he lied about his income and the home owners association doesn't faze him either and on the other side of me are four more blacks that have all been to prison with the 26 year old arrested last month with a gun trying to stick up an old woman. This is the trash I deal with everyday. My computer shuts down all the time if I put it in sleep mode, and HP says they have no fix for it. My hand is broken still with no help as the terrible V.A. cancelled three appointments in a row now, that makes 7 months they can't get to me.Β 
These are not meant to justify my childish reply to you, but just to show I'm not in good form right now and holding my tongue is hard to do for me. My patience is all but gone it seems.

Except my apologies please,and no harm done I hope, and as usual may all good things be yours.
Denn

its okay my friend, everyone can make mistakes, and I think I might have been a bit rough on you tbh ..
actually I was in the same shoes as you when I tried to write down what happened in the past few years, my experience and barely anyone read it, so I mostly decided to keep it for myself. Besides, its not like I would have much life experience, apart the fact that Im trying to make out the best of things , being treated like shit by people from whom I expected the least and currently trying to get things in the right way as much as I can. I would be lying if I would say that I dont feel sour taste in my mouth sometimes, but most of the time I just swallow my anger. Its not a good solution but there are moments when I just dont know how to control my feelings.
I had to live the hell of the hell in the past 2 year thanks to the brother of my ex gf and had to endured to be constantly humiliated and threatened on da and some people were telling me in the nam of my gf that she hopes that I will kill myself (wich wasnt true but still scarred me emotionally a lot). ...If you wish I can tell you more about what happened that time but would prefer to do it in private message, lets just say that these are quite sensible subject that shouldnt be in front of my enemies here on da...
Our neighborhood is also quite worth speaking about, even though (thankfully) people cannot carry gun in my country without some strict regulations (but knowing where our fucked up government is heading, I would imagine it will happen soon, yay ><. Basically what they are doing is to listening to music at MAX volume, not caring about the others or if it would annoy someone. Oh and here comes the next part: they are using common water source, without paying for it so basically Β our house block is getting drown in debt thanks to them... I mean I dont want to sound like hateful against anyone, but there is a limit of what is being understandable and what is bordeline taking a shit on others and what they do is outrageous
Btw concerning your pc, I decided to make some search on the net and found this:answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wi…
Also a HP one, so hopefully it might be some similar problem . Shortly said: the issue seems to be with the cooling system as normally any pc would shut down in the event of overheating to avoid damaging the hardware parts of the computer. Also I would highly recommend you scanning your pc for viruses (you can never be too sure) as well as some nifty utility software called Advanced System Care. What it does is an all in one cleaning on your pc, including defragmentation, registry fix, pc security fixes and so on. I might not be an IT expert but I think I might be at least a bit helpful with this
Actually I wanted to ask since a time about your story, more precisely: how things started to go as wrong? We have been talking since so much time and yet I dont know much about you, I would be really curious to hear it. In fact if you wish, I would love to write a book with you about our life experiences and everything that comes with it. It might be easier to do it in teamwork, if you wish
Hope you will find peace inside and outside too one day, from my part I still have a long way to it but I hope I will reach it at some point
