    In need of honest relationship advice

    I´m sorry, that is a complicated situation.It seems to me, that your girlfriend needs a lot of reassurance and love, which is hard for you to give, since you are so introverted. You need to adjust to each others expectations, which can be very difficult, if you expect completely different...

    When and how to deal with “ brothers “

    I´m so sorry, and of course it hurts, I do understand.Forgiveness is a two way street, the ones we forgive, must also work on their ways, otherwise there is no point in forgiveness. I think there is only one option here.Tell them you are hurt, by their lack of investment in your friendship. Life...

    "Fake it 'til you make it?"

    When we ask: how are you? no one answers truthfully, because we are scared to be true, we don´t want to feel like a burden to other people. The people asking us how we are, often asks us out of politness, they often don´t care, its´just a line. If we were true, and said that it feels like our...

    What defines suicide/murder?

    This is very difficult, people are so different, and have a lot of different views. That is why it´s so important, to talk about what people wants to do, if things happens, to prevent situations like this. I understand that C thinks the way she does, but i do not agree either, i would also...

    How can you think you can judge or play God and set the standard for everyone...?

    That is so true. I think that we people, often don´t have a lot of self-insight, we think we are this and that, but we are not even close, to the things we think we are. I do believe, it´s as important to work on ourselves, to get to know who we are, as it is to read the bible. If we don´t know...

    What are peoples views on organ donation and things like "pulling the plug" if you are in a coma?

    I signed up for organ donation when i was 22, i also signed up for not to be kept alive, or not getting life-prolonging treatment, if there is no hope. I think we owe our loved ones to make a choice. I think it´s worse not to make a choise when we can, than to put that burden on the relatives...

    "Why do I want to be around people who scare me?"

    I think your therapist only wants what´s best for you. It doesn´t matter that you bring someone with you, when visiting your family, the point is you still feel connected to them, after all they have done to you, and that is co-dependency. You are abusing yourself, because you love your family...

    Around non believers very hard.

    It sounds a little like you have decided that all non believers are bad people. I understand that is what you feel, if everyone you have met speaks bad words, and are unfriendly. But let me tell you, that there will be millions of non believers who are nice people, even sometimes nicer than...

    Why are you a Christian?

    I was also brought up in a christian family, but things changed for me when i understood the principles of pure love. Christianity is about love in the purest form.The love where you completely deny yourself to raise others up, you forgive others so you can be forgiven. It´s all a cycle, we are...

    What can Jesus do to help me with my suffering?

    I´m sorry you are in a rough spot right now. You can pray to God for a change, but it´s not a guarantee you will get the help you want. Sometimes we don´t get things we want, but things we need. It´s not easy being in such a negative mindset. You could try to change your thoughts a litle...

    Missing

    I think it´s normal to feel something is missing in life, no matter how much we acheive. Life never stands still, nor does our learning, or longing for experiences. Many people forget to live here and now, they live in the past, or the future.There will always be a longing for something new and...

    Hello Neighbor:) Thank you very much Robban! Yes, Sad he died, he was a big piece of our culture, but he had a long and joyful life i´m sure. He made lots of people happy with his music, left a great footprint here on earth, and Like with all the others, his music will probably live forever.

    The Growing Obsession with Serial Killers

    I think that it can be educational to watch people who are different, i don´t think it has to affect us in any way, to watch a program about a serial killer. I don´t think it has to mean anything. I know some people are twisted and not well, and are drawn to serial killers, but i don´t think...

    Do you think reading the bible is important?

    Yes, i think it´s important for a Christian to have read the bible. But I don´t think it´s necessary to read the bible daily. If you have read it once you should know it all. The bible is just a guideline, what we do with it in our daily lives, how we transfer what we read into action, is in my...

    Are you being too religious?

    I think all things can get out of hand and become too much. Things can easily become something it´s not intended to be. Our minds have a life of it´s own, it loves habits, and sticking to the same thinking patterns. Being too religious in my view is someone who has lost common sense and loss of...

    How important is free will?

    Free will is important i think, it is through that we learn, through experience. If there was no free will we would never learn anything, we would not take responsiblility for our actions, or know right from wrong. We learn from the bad, as we learn from the good, everything has a purpose even...

    Advice for a Friend's Relationship

    I think it will always be better for kids to have a mom and dad being happy separately, if they can´t be happy together. If they are miserable together, they don´t do the kids any favors. Either way the kids will be affected if they stay together, unless they can find a way to work it out.

    dating sites a scam or can they work?

    i think they can work, and i know they do, at least here where i live. Here you can choose to be a paying member, and you can choose not to. If you are paying you will get more bennefits, you can apply to more people, receive more posts etc. There can possibly be scam sites out there, but i have...
