What is your favorite book and what have you learned from it?

Question

What is your favorite book and what have you learned from it?
Just out of curiosity. And I will thumbs down you if you dont give answers to both parts of the question!

Answer

My favorite book is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. From Frankenstein, Ive learned how devastating judging based on appearances can be. In the book, the monster is hideous and is beaten away by his own creator and a family he watched and came to love, which hurt the creature so much he began to murder.brbrIf his creator Victor Frankenstein hadnt judged the creature so harshly and dubbed him a monster, then perhaps the people killed would have lived.

What is your biggest life lesson so far?

Question

What is your biggest life lesson so far?
For me it is that older people really do know more, and you should most definetly take their advice.... How about you?

Answer

Its kind of like this.. you know when you finish a task, whether it be a sporting event, a test at school, a conversation you had with someone, a choice you made.. now think of how you felt after you screwed one of these things up.. all the things you play back in your mind that you wish you did this, you wish you said that, or you wish you would have taken advantage of a certain situation..brbrwell now think of how you will feel when your life is over.. whether you belive in an afterlife or not, for my example i obviously do if you have the opportunity to look back on your life and see all the times you were a jerk, or caused a negative reaction in the world.. well magnify that feeling by how many millions of choices you make throughout the average life.. thats got to be pretty intense..brbrlive like you want to be remembered and how you want to see yourself when its all over.. thats the biggest life lesson for me.. the aftermath of my choices, whether good or bad, understanding the impact they have and will have affects me more than anything else. brbrjeez maybe i should take my own advice.brbrgood luck

What is wrong when you think you are ugly when you are ugly in your own opinion is that wrong?

Question

What is wrong when you think you are ugly when you are ugly in your own opinion is that wrong?
I am quot and I weigh so if any one thinks that they are ugly that would be me I dont take care of myself the way I should

Answer

Yes, I think it is completely wrong to think you are ugly, because chances are you did not get the opinion on your own. Someone got to you to feel that way by saying stuff to you either subliminally or out right. Maybe its because you see pics of other people who are skinny... Skinny seems to be the new pretty these days. and now you think because you are not skinny, this makes you ugly.brbrI am ft, about pounds and I have never found myself to be ugly! As a matter of fact today I was looking into a hand mirror and almost could not put it down. my cheeks have been feeling dry and I was rubbing lotion on them....I kept putting lotion on, because I was mesmerized by my own eyes! LOL brbrBack to you! The reason its wrong to find yourself ugly is because you cant progress in life if you hate the way you look. You will CONSTANTLY be wondering who thinks you are ugly and you wont have the confidence you need to live a fruitful life....

What is worse than death??

Question

What is worse than death??

Answer

Worse than death is not being able to develop a goal and a burning desire in life! Human being is the highest manifestation in the cosmic life cycle. It is only as a human being one can gain enlightenment kaivalya jnana and reach the stage of salvation moksha.brbrGaining enlightenment and finally salvation is no less an achievement. It can be achieved only after having crossed . million manifestations and a total life cycle of . million earthly years. Having manifested as a human being... how is it that human beings while away their life without having a fixed goal in life... a burning purpose... something that makes the present life more enjoyable and livable.brbrIt is this power of discrimination that differentiates a king from a laborer power of discrimination is almost absent in insects, plants and animals... all the lower forms through which all human beings have already passed. Where lay the difference? The difference is only in the mental prowess. The capacity to think... and think wisely is the onus of every human being... a birthright in fact!brbrHuman beings do not manifest the form of a human being just to live for money. Money has never been the goal of wise people... it is only a means to an end! Materialistic gains no doubt are necessary to live a happy life but it is not the end of life as we see it today. The wanton desires not only within children but also adults presents a precarious situation world over.brbrLife is to be found beyond the mundane affairs of life. How many times has one climbed the Mount Everest, surfed beyond the capacity into the high seas, sat by a lonely brook in the high mountains with the Love of your life! Very few in the world are truly lucky to do that! It is these wise men who have finally taken their destiny under control.brbrWhy worry of death which is immanent... it will come one day as it comes to all! As we have the day and night, fire and water we also have life and death... both being different sides of the same coin. Why weep over the inscrutable will of the Creator, the Almighty God who created us all!brbrLet us resolve to develop a burning desire... a goal of life which leads us towards the passion of our life... something we really enjoy doing! It is then we shall truly manifest our destiny and finally overcome the fear of death! More on burning desire here httpwww.vijaykumar.comburningdesirea

How do you know if what you believe in is the truth?

Question

How do you know if what you believe in is the truth?

Answer

You cant. We cannot know whether what we see as reality is really that maybe it is just a fantasy, a dream, and there is no reality. What we can do is have an opinion based on what we know at the time. I believe we can decide what we think is most likely but remain open minded. People who are dogmatic about things and think that they have found the whole truth are dangerous. Most of what we see as the truth is likely to be part of the story but not all of it.

How do you deal with people that dont know you, but go on and on making a lot of assumptions about you ?

Question

How do you deal with people that dont know you, but go on and on making a lot of assumptions about you ?
Usually wrong...

Answer

Interesting bit of irony. A friendship is like a journey, but its more like a long walk than a road trip. People make assumptions as a short cut to familiarity. This is a good thing in a way, because fear of the unknown is a real relationship killer, but being the victim of a guessing game isnt so pleasant either.brbrThere are a lot of variables here that need to be addressed. Is the person worth knowing? Is there something between you that makes the relationship of value to you? Does that person need to know you in order to accomplish some sort of spiritual or social growth? Sometimes friendship starts out on unequal ground. You have to give that friend a hand up before they realize the potential you may see in thembrbrIf any or all of these end with a Yes, then the friend is worth your time. If not, you casually distance yourself from that person and you eventually drift apart. But if that friendship is worth keeping, then you have to temporarily assume the role of teacher. You dont have to hit them over the head with knowledge and it shouldnt be done all at once, but you get to help this person on their path to being a betterbrbrListenerbrbrDiscernerbrbrJudge of characterbrbrFreindbrbrWhat you get out of it is the knowledge that you helped another human being to become an independent thinker. if that person is prejudging you, they are doing it because it is s learned behavior, probably to get the upper hand in a relationship and assume dominance You also get a better friend. Only you can decide whether the process is worth it!

How do you deal with complete losers who have no life?

Question

How do you deal with complete losers who have no life?
And will not leave you alone?

Answer

I wish there was a perfect solution that I could offer to get these people off your back, Reader. I assume that the losers that you are referring to are on Y!A? If not, then ignore the rest of my post.brbrSadly, there are some people who misuse Y!A to bully others. Sites such as this one offer not only total anonymity, but the chance to create more than one account. This leaves people who wish to use the site to for genuine purposes exposed to trolls and cyber bullies, who may use their accounts as a way of reporting another user multiple times, or to repeatedly send nasty emails.brbrHow do I deal with people like this? Well, I have experienced this many times and, frankly, I find the behaviour childish and annoying. Then I remind myself that they are the ones with the problem. They can say what they like about me, report as many posts as they like, but it does not make me a bad person. So I keep my chin up and just keep on doing what I do. brbrSame as I do not think that you are a bad person. I know that you and I have had differences of opinion in the past, but I am not blind. I can see that you are a well liked member of the Yahoo! Answers community who offers intelligent and thoughtful answers that are always well written. I suppose my advice is not to let them get the better of you. If they have a problem with you, let them. As you have pointed out, they are losers who have no life.brbrEDIT Thank you!

How do we love ourself?

Question

How do we love ourself?
I wish I could love myself...Can somebody tell me how??

Answer

Dont put conditions on your love for yourself. Its easy to say quotI hate myself because I amhave insert negative qualityquot and quotIf only I were like insert positive quality, Id be happy and love myself.quot The problem is that you will never be perfect, and even as you improve, your expectations for yourself will always stay out of reach.brbrIts a lot easier to say than do, but accept yourself as you are. Affirm yourself. That is, say to yourself, quotIm a good person.quot Say it out loud if you have to, even if you think it sounds weird. Make a list of your good qualities at least and read it to yourself every day. When youre down, its easy to pretend that you dont have any good qualities, but you know that you do. Force yourself to look at them. And dont let yourself twist those good things into bad ones I bet you know exactly what I mean, so I wont keep explaining.brbrThese things arent the only things to do, theyre just a start. Loving and accepting yourself and feeling peace takes time speaking from my own experience, it can be a hard painful journey. If youre feeling a lot of despair and have felt negatively about yourself for a while this is a bit simplified, but a doctor will diagnose depression if a person has had persistent negative thoughts and feelings for two weeks, no answer you find here is going to change that.brbrSee if any of this sounds familiar Have you been feeling down for awhile? Have you had changes in your appetite or sleep pattern? Do you not feel like doing fun things or the things that you normally love? Do you always feel alone or ashamed or guilty for no reason? Have you ever thought about suicide?brbrIf none of that sound familiar, then ignore what Im saying. But if you have felt those things, do something about it. Do something now. Talk to your family. Talk to a doctor. Im sure that there are people that care for you a lot, even if you feel like no one cares. It can be extremely hard to take that step, but I promise that if you do, youll be on the path to loving yourself and being happy. You can figure out the best plan for you, be it a medication that helps balance the chemicals in your brain or meeting with a therapist that can help you see the negative thought patterns that you have and teach you how to change that.brbrWhatever you do, just dont wait. Theres no reason to go on hating yourself and feeling miserable. You dont deserve it. Like I said it can be really hard, but it really is possible to love yourself and find peace.brbrSorry if Ive overanswered the question. Ive just felt the way that you feel before. I know what its like to be there, and I know that life really can get better.
