Homeopathy is based on scientific principles, and yes for the last twenty-five years, i've taken it and practice it very seriously!

I like many others choose to use wholistic 'natural' medicines and cures, rather than suffer the ill side effects of synthetics.

NOTE if you want to debate this take it up on the debate thread, lets not detract from the purpose of this thread.

Seeing this breaks my heart.

One of the few worthwhile things I've learned is that creativity is the single most powerful force in the entire universe. So little of it is focused on letting us be more creative, unfortunately.

"...the archetype of intelligence is not Dustin Hoffman in The Rain Man , it is a human being, period. It is squishy things that explode in a vacuum, leaving footprints on their moon. Within that grey wet lump is the power to search paths through the great web of causality, and find a road to the seemingly impossible – the power sometimes called creativity."

Thank you, that is very kind. Might be better if I fixed the spelling error in it though lol.

It seems like everybody is moving forward. As if there is some final goal they can achieve and get to. I don't get it though. When I look around, it seems like I'm already there, and there is nothing left to do.

Always? Then what would be the point of looking in the first place?

When one wakes up and realises that all that 'we' the previous generations, or at least us conscious ones, did to make it a better world, and the outcome is only be able to watch, as this generation 'pisses on us, without even the decency to call it rain', there's no hope left.

What I came to realize a long time ago is that those who worship money as their god, will NEVER stop the quest for even MORE of it, even if they have more than than they can spent in TEN lifetimes. At some point, it becomes all about the power that the money can buy.
When the time comes, and it WILL. when they gold will not "save" them from the poisonous world that THEY made, and they watch as their rich friends, and their family DIE AROUND THEM, it will be FUNNY to see the anguish on their faces when they realize that the "god" that they served, was really the DEVIL.
I don't much care, there were six attempts made on my life over and invention of mine,
I'm 62, and can't go on forever, and will finally get my PCS Orders OUT of "Firebase Earth" before the Planet actually meets it's horrific, greed caused end.
I am SO glad that where I moved to live out my last years here, I can not see my neighbors, they are MILES away.
It is my earnest hope, that when GOD truly gives those of us who are saved by HIS grace "the desires of our hearts", I and my Yawnetu, will be placed on our OWN Pandora like Planet. That is a dream that I have had since the Seventies, ans was in no way influenced, by Camaron's fine Movie.
I wish all of the people fighting for ecological sanity success, but I know that the greedy WILL manage to destroy this planet. I have gotten to where I don't care, that would cause too much pain. I am just a casual observer without any progeny, watching the downfall of this Planet.
Niri Te

I don't know anymore. Sometimes it seems like people are starting to wake up, to make the change...and other times it seems like the mass sum of partakers in the dominant culture couldn't care less. I hope things like the Arab Spring and OWS are signs of a coming paradigm shift in developed humanity, but only time will tell.

Living isn't easy when you're far away from home...

To treat others the way you want to be treated is good, but to treat others the way you would want to be treated if you were them is great.

Not sure where the flaimbaiting was? How I view humanity and where we are going, and the means we get there ARE a part of what I'm learning about life.*

But whatever, I'll leave it at that.

Perhaps because the answer is not what one expected? Just a thought though.


It's good to question everything, but don't forget to question those who question everything too.
