dying alone, are you worried about this?

joey_matthews @joey_matthews (8354) 8 Mar 07

I can honestly say "yes". I've had nightmares of waking up as a elderly person, who watches out the window while families, children and buses etc go by and I'm sat doing the same thing. Yeah, I know it's not something I...

pagibig @pagibig (297) • Philippines 7 Mar 07

You think you know somebody so well. You think you could trust them. You love them and give them everything. Your heart, your trust, your life. Then one day, one unexpected day, everything crashes. You learn everything is a...

Not Me I would never tell a lie

winterose @winterose (39887) • Canada 4 Mar 07

The great philosopher Emmanual Kant said that we should never tell a lie. But isn't there times when a lie is necessary? I think so. I used to own the game scrubbles, and as the name implies it asks you about your...

ailene713 well, in that case, it wouldn't either. there are those called white lies. but still, these are lies nontheless... LOL. but there are really instances when the best thing to do is to shut up and say no word rather than talk of lies.

ingenieure @ingenieure (123) • Philippines 5 Mar 07

ailene713 i would probably give it up too. because when i pray to God in situations where i do not know exactly what best thing to do, and God answered that prayer with a "no" then He must mean that "no" is the best option for that situation. of course things involving...

It has been said that those who aren't afraid to die have never experienced love

James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 28 Feb 07
