These feelings will come and go your whole life... trust me on this. You have to reduce the noise in your life both figurative and literal. I did not find this out until I was in Iraq, and I was brutally alone with my own thoughts. You have to find a quiet spot for just you. Reflect on your...

I think it is the pain of death, and what you have to leave behind. If life is less pleasurable you may welcome death, if your life is great you may not want to leave it just yet. If we did not have a survival instinct, humans would be extinct.

The body is just a useless husk when we pass, I don't think it matters.

Just recently I have been able to get myself to expect MUCH less from people. It is really a bit heartbreaking to realize that people who do for others (with an open heart) are a true minority. This in turn is what makes it so special. We should not look to others to be like us, but be who we...

I just got out not long ago, and felt the same way many days, let me guess you are 11b and I would say spec4? I did two tours to Iraq, so I know how you feel. If you feel this way the WORST thing you can do is re-enlist!!! It is obviously not the life for you. It will end, it may seem like a...

First off I'm guessing "Joe Smith" is a young man..say...mid to early 20's. If this is the case, it is not likely evil doing this, but the urge of a young male animal to mate. That's right folks, just like all Gods creatures we are animals and we are driven to keep our race of beings alive. Now...

I came from a VERY bad place, and made it. ALL my "friends" I had when I was your age are misrible failures or dead now, that is the truth. In the next 7 years you will go through incredible groth and changes, while they stagnate. When you talk to them years from now and tell them of your life...

I think people should resist bringing Satan in to EVERYTHING. By thinking about him, fearing him, and dwelling on him, you give power. Now back to the problem. After my first tour to Iraq I was pretty scatter brained for awhile. I found that if I looked at the splendor of things around me (our...

This is why I love this forum, this is the most polite argument I have ever witnessed ;) Now my .02, I feel your surroundings can GREATLY sway your opinion on this topic. If you are surrounded by evil doers, bad news, and bad situations you may believe man is (I won't use the word inherently...

My belief is unfortunately, when you kill yourself you end up as a servant in the after life for eternity. Man I wish folks who are considering this fate would reach out, or when they do we would hear them. Most times I find the ones who talk about it a lot usually don't succeed, it the ones you...

Very nice answer!

Mary, I'm guessing you are fairly young. If this is the case take solace in the fact that as we age and gain wisdom, the choices in life become easier, being better becomes easier (for a lot of us anyway). As toolite said, you can not be perfect. God does not expect you to be. There will be set...

Well said

There is nothing you can do EVER to make God love you less. None of us are perfect, and you are not being punished. We all have our trials, what matters is how we handle them, you never have to face them alone because God is there to help you every step of the way, all you have to do is ask, and...
