Not nearly as important as being consistent with beliefs, avoiding paying lip service to a belief while behaving contrary to it.

I don't think that realization is nearly as important as figuring out how much you are willing to defend a belief in the face of an opposing opinion or possible proof it's not that true, or how far you're willing to go to try and protect your belief you've proved to yourself to be true from others.


Human beings can't leave a void in our "matrix of paradigms."
They will be filled in subconsciously if not consciously.

Leaving a void creates fear of something unknown. Fear increases stress. People hate stress and naturally avoid it and try to expel it, seeking out ways to get rid of it.


There is no living life to the "full."
There's just living life.
If you follow trying to live life to the "full" then you have to define what that means.
That forces you to measure your life in comparison to others, make judgments, and determine if your life is better than that of someone else.
That leads to living life, just not your own. And then you run around wondering why you aren't happy and feeling like you think you should because you did what they did.

In more socialistic or group oriented cultures that's usually fine, but in more individualistic (western) cultures that's just going to lead to all sorts of problems.


The idea of eternal happiness is a belief without any real proof it actually exists.
You know anyone that has eternally existed? And they've given you eternal updates to their emotional state?

So you may as well be asking is flabbertymij linked to the beliefs or to the truth in the beliefs?
Sure, whatever you want.


So have true beliefs. So have true beliefs that turned into false beliefs due to social and technological change.
So has personal self interest masquerading as a belief.

Pretty much anything a human being can use as a weapon will be used as a weapon to protect themselves. Thoughts, beliefs, ideas, feelings, emotions, tools, whatever.


I think if you cut and paste you should provide the source of origin.

When you have "what�s" instead of "what's" then it was copied from a different website.

Someone told me; it's so hard to find and/or date a " W 90 - 60 - 90" in these days...why?

Do they really exist?

The troubling thing about the assumption science is going to answer everything that it doesn't leave room for miracles.

Yes, miracles aren't logical... ! That's why they're miracles.

Anybody figured-out why there's a 515 foot long petrified boat 6300 feet above sea-level yet in the Ararat Mountains ?

I think youre attempting to connect things that arent connected...
Like comparing apples and oranges...

Well yes, historically speaking... But a figurehead can only be as good as the ideas he present, and the acceptability of his ideas.
Im pretty sure there is something/s in muslim doctrine that caused the divide and the continuing escalation of the conflict...especially since it encompasses not only religious rites and traditions but also the politico-legal sentiment...

Your talking about one-sided love. Its not gonna work. Both of you, will going to suffer in a relationship.

He approach me first. So, i decided to walk in his life without second thought and never ask myself how i feel for him. Because, all i think is maybe he like me. When i notice that later on, he doesnt care about my presence. Now, i wonder if i like him.

Anyone interested to be my travel buddy? It would be fun.

Is anyone still alive here on mingle 2 ..or is this a bot driven site...no one says anything back or im jus one ugly son of a gun haha

Certain traits that lead to attraction...depending on what each person finds attractive in the other.
Romantic love probably stems from idealism and the perception of finding oneself in another.
But i think the laws of natural selection will always have a tendency to be at odds with human emotions.

Too much beer? Is that possible?

Opie, i believe you have way too much time in your hands...

I can't believe in our day and age that there'd be people who seriously consider linking an earthquake to human behavior, as lewd as it can be.
