maximax8 @maximax8 (31043) • United Kingdom 23 Jan 12

I was shopping and then went for a walk on the pier. I had a walk on the beach after that. A very old lady got chatting to me. She didn't have her glasses on and saw something white out at sea. I explained it was a white and...

greenfeathers Yes, it can be a very enlightening experience. They have many tales to tell and memories to reminisce over and as I'm a far better listener than talkers it works out well for both..Enjoy!

There many ways to earn money online - what is the best in your opinion?

Angel @Angelee_27 (3460) • United States 22 Jan 12

When I first learned that it was possible to earn money online, I was fascinated. I began joining websites such as PTC sites that pay a cent or less per website visited and I thought it was the coolest thing ever! Then, as I...

greenfeathers I have tried a good many ways. At present I have one site that builds daily but takes time to accumulate to payout but they pay promptly. Its a nice dream but I'd say, with few exceptions, that it won't deliver a sustainable income for most folks. Internet...

Jennifer @LovingMyBabies (85295) • Valdosta, Georgia 19 Jan 12

I was reading an article about a 51 year old woman who just started doing ballet. She was doing it to lose weight and get fit. Another woman told her she is too old to be pretending to be young and dancing. I thought it was great...

Brain versus faith

vanny @vandana7 (102361) • India 20 Jan 12

I am a believer, and I also reason, so I dont think they are at loggerheads. I just think that faith shows us the way, brain tries to explain it, then again faith shows the light, and brain finds reasons for that light. Without...

Without reincarnation, god may seem a bit unfair...

vanny @vandana7 (102361) • India 20 Jan 12

So ...somebody was saying in a television serial that people suffer in this life because of the wrongs in their previous births, and so they need to be good for a better future. Well, that is an explanation for our suffering,...

Is it Easier to see Evil????

bird123 @bird123 (10658) • United States 21 Jan 12

Religions try to tell us what is good and what is evil. I have heard some say that everyone is sinful. I know many have been taught this from childhood. Do these religious lessons make it easier for us to see evil in people rather...

greenfeathers Truth be, I don't get involved in religion as religion, for me, is more a reflection of human attitude and prejudices. That's what the denominations reflect, human notions intermingled with spiritual truth and, as such, tainted and in their own way evil. They...

greenfeathers I'll admit I get dispondent (and selfish) at times. Fact is, I'm hanging out in that neighborhood now. Some things have been hanging a might heavy of late and I've been bemoaning the stress of it. So, I suppose, based on Pollyanna philosophy, I am...

red_amethyst @red_amethyst (3518) • Philippines 28 Nov 11

greenfeathers Well, first off, I differentiate between religion and theology. The fact that there is so much denominationalism in any belief system (mine is Christian) says, to me, that religion is a reflection of people more than anything else. If we're to discuss...
