"The first step away from God is the first step toward dehumanization."  C. S. Lewis, "The Abolition of Man."\n\nWhen we don't put God first, we can justify almost anything.  That has been the biggest tragedy of every age.

Olivia is right. It never goes away.....it just subsides. You will always be left with a hole that nothing can fill. But you learn to cope. You keep them alive by remembering all of the words of wisdom given by them throughout your life. They will never stop speaking to you....and through you, even when they are not standing before us. That's the best way I know how to cope. Keep them alive......by living as they would have done.

The fact that my affluence has fallen into a virtual abyss has put me in a quandary, to say the least.\n\nThe affluence I have enjoyed in the community has diminished since my arrest.\n\nI cannot figure out this problem, which has put me in a quandary.\n\nI am so depressed, I feel as though I have fallen into an abyss.

Every once in a great while, I am floored by the brilliance of a question on this forum.  This is one of those times!!  I couldn't even TRY to answer it, because you have said it all!  Thanks for the breath of fresh air!!

My god,i so know what you are feeling,there is no scientific explanantion for this shit! It almost feels like nothing can help us,but it can,i just know it! I have tried to im you and asked to add you to my messanger list. Please accept! I can tell you what is going on with me and my family,the things i have tried,and what has worked. For all you people thinking we are crazy or this is in our heads,just wait you will see one day,this is real! There is a spiritual battle going on 24/7 between god and satan. They are running out of time and as we go along it does nothing but get stronger and stronger! This type of issue is one of those stuck in the closet deals,kinda like bisexuals and such back in the sixties. No one wants to beleive its happening,but its real and it waits for us to get weak so it may take over!!! Both God and Satan are gathering up warriors for the final battle,everyone ask yourselves,"What side will you be on?" when the shit goes down! Dont think you will be excluded! This war is written in the book,the holy bible,revelations. I personally think a movie should be made about this subjest to bring it out of the closet! Anyways,my contacts are available,please contact me,we can work together and beat this thing once and for all!!!

I admire people who think like you! You have painted the current turmoil in world beautifully in words. I am also wondering whether the answer lies in RELIGION, POLITICS or HUMAN FOLY in itself. I also agree that life is too precious and too short for squables.

Not one of my favorite paintings. I fail to see the attraction. Although it is definately haunting.\nI always have to wonder about a person's mindset, though, when they produce something like that.\nTraumatic event? Psychotic?

I did try to discuss this topic with "Ouzian" in IM, to no avail.  Her claims of worries that her posts will be deleted show her persistence, fortitude, and concern.  ( I commend you for these projections of qualities, but)  The obvious glaring of extreme need to spread this word, this message, is shown by her >>(assumption based on avatar), other postings regarding the same subject.  It is also very clear that what her expressions convey in regards to this matter, are sprinkled with her fears.  And I also feel that based upon her posts, her links, and her blog information, that she wishes and intends to spread these fears.  It is clear, this fear does, as she does mention, help rule, and control.  (And I do agree with this).  There are many ways to control, or govern, a mass of people, and, some of these ways to govern have proven to be effective, and some very ineffective. (In regards to the best way for ALL social situations which we as a human race on earth face today-and there are many)  But the mystery truly is not what lies beneath Ouzians belief, and its possibility of validity, not at all!  The real mystery is why then does she not wish to participate in discussions in IM, or through other modes of correspondence with others, like myself, who show EFFORT in wishes to participate, and listen, in the direct concern towards her messages of understanding or beliefs, that could possibly lead to other followers of her belief, and help her cause?   (Persistence, fortitude and concern?)  To me this lack of communication shows contradiction in motive, shows lack of intitiative, NO EFFORT, and therefore, PROVES that some great "efforts" without real ACTION, are, like time does prove some things to be, ineffective, and, it is like trying to climb to the top of a pole that is covered in grease. (wasted energy).  I have many, many opinions in regards to what is going on in the world today, and have even been very expressive of these opinions to many people, through many modes of expression, and have always welcomed any open discussion to help people see the good, and bad, in different ways of having things work, globally.  (Because obviously, some things just don't work-that pole thing again.)   At this stage of the game, the most important thing is to keep the big-picture in mind, the long-haul.  Strengths and Weaknesses,  Problems and Solutions.   So, please help me understand then, Ouzian, why do you run so very, very fast, but insist on doing so by running in place?  Ineffective.  My real question to YOUR question, since I have already answered, and I will find it fair that YOU do not breach MY allowance in expression on the matter which you brought forth, in public forum, and at hand, now being met with discussion, as you wish-is that true mystery- Why did you even bother to post this?
