    Nothing left but anger

    I read all your threads you wrote today. I just want to say that like you I held 3 corporate jobs. I didn't suck at work. I was good. But it was taking it's toll on my health. It was a night shift that goes all night late into the morning. I felt drained. I'm a martial artist and health was...

    Nothing left but anger

    Your girlfriend has a lot of characteristics my mother has. I hope she's not middle aged like in her 50s. Even if younger, some people just withdraw into their shell. My mother's middle aged and very similar. Full of conspiracy theories. Too much religion. She was a Church goer. Now she just...

    Nothing left but anger

    Well it is hard for me because I want a woman to love me for being me and not for what I have. Unfortunately, every woman I have met so far and made attempts romantically didn't give me that impression. Growing up, I thought people loved each other without materialism and I also would find...

All these techniques are combat applicable. The teacher executes them with finesse. Pencak Silat is...

    Nothing left but anger

    That's good for you. I'm thinking of getting a dog myself. But that's responsibility too. Maybe I will someday.

    Nothing left but anger

    I read the first message and a little from the thread. You're reaching out because you feel no one understands your situation? You're not alone. I'm in my mid thirties. Never been in a relationship. I've gone after friendships and tried to maintain them and about half my friends just left me...

    Unwanted presents

    An unwanted gift to me comes from a person who does not bear my best interests and wellbeing at heart. There are simple hearted people who would gift simple things and things that won't be so costly but with good intentions. Those are good gifts. There are people who might get you gifts. They...

    Kicking a Child Out of the House

    I didn't mean to call anyone any names or belittle them. Not my way. I just said if a parent were to send the child out of the house when they are underaged, that would be irresponsible and that would lack empathy for the parent to do so. How else can I say that? I was speaking hypothetically...

    Kicking a Child Out of the House

    I never said that it was easy. Nothing is easy in this world. I'm just saying that a child is a gift from God. We all talk about how it's wrong to kill a child before birth. We say it's life. Kicking your child out of the house without taking responsibility for what becomes of the child after...

    Kicking a Child Out of the House

    A very good example where parents don't give up on Children. No matter what happens. Because, if parents don't care for you in this world and love you. Good chance of not many others loving you. That nurture is needed. Falling into bad company is very unfortunate. It's happened in my life. That...

    Kicking a Child Out of the House

    If parents hadn't expected that of their child, then they should not have one in the first place. If you have a child or ward, no matter what the state they are in, you have to help your children. You can send them away. But, make sure they are still well cared for if they are underaged. Also...

    Corporal punishment in schools. Is it time to bring back the strap?

    As someone who comes from a generation where corporal punishment was not frowned upon either at school or home, I think it's not right. Maybe that responsibility could be left to parents and only in extreme situations. As someone who had endured corporal punishment. That trauma stays with...

    Christians response to gay marriage?

    If you read the story of Lot, you would know how God feels about Gay marriage. Do you know what happened to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah? Please refer the book of Genesis. God created Adam and Eve. And God said, "Be fruitful and multiply." Not even animals do what we do as human...

    Kicking a Child Out of the House

    Christ does not preach kicking out. He does not say, divorce. We do that because we are hard hearted.

    Do People Over Share on Social Media?

    Should women pursue men?

    It's not uncommon. Just talk to the person, get to know him. Then you could ask him out, etc. It depends from individual to individual. The difficult part is being honest about your feelings for the man. Once you're past that,it's all good. All the best

    Divorce?

    Paul gives marriage as an alternative instead of burning with passion. Yes, you're right on that. But, he did say. "It would better for everyone to be as I am." This is in 1 Corinthians Chapter 7 verse 7 I think. In the same way, there's a conversation in Matthew Chapter 19 about divorce. And...
