Psalm 51:5\n"For I was born a sinner, yes, from the moment my mother conceived me."\n\nSuch is the plight of all mankind. Jesus is our only hope.

Wow, a good philisophical question. I believe it can be achieved, for there are at least two different kinds of pride. Are you proud of your family? Of course you are. But you may not flaunt them in everyone's face. You may not think they're better than everyone else. (Well, you may, but let's just say you don't for a moment.)\nYou can feel 'pride' in who you are, without feeling better than anyone else. \nI agree that it sure seems to conflict with each other, but you could try it sometime. Just hold your head high, but do nice things, like open the door for someone, be nice, etc... It can be done, I'm sure of it.

Yes that sums it up quiet nicely, but just like any family, when ever you have a bunch of siblings you get fighting. lol, but eventually they grow up and learn how great family is and how important those relationships are. My sister and I fought alot as children but we sure love each other now. So you can apply this to the people of the earth some just take longer to learn that, then others.  You're on the right track, keep up with that thinking and you might just make this world a better place. One person at a time is all it takes. Peace and GOD bless.

First and fore most with Love & Grace. \n\ndo not forget that you yourself are still growing and learning.\n\nHunger is the key to illumination of God's Word. encourage your bro/sis build them up and live your faith as the best example. if & when the Spirit leads you to correct or instruct do it in love & with humilty.\n\nwe all have to careful not to grow weary in well doing. it is easy to see our bro/sis missing something but this is not what we are told to focus on.\n\nold school nugget: my grand father told me over and over if you have to preface what you say with  \n      I don't want to be ......\nyou probably are acting just that way.Rethink what your thinking.

Just tell the truth. Tell them that you are maturing and feel that it is time that you all go your seperate ways. Tell them that things are not as they use to be and use the old ever faithful line..'it's not you, it's me'. It works everytime!

I believe that simply being of the same species makes us all brothers and sisters in a metaphorical sense.\n\nI believe this means that for the most part, you let them live their own lives. But at the same time... if your brother needs a helping hand, you give it to him. If your brother needs to be straightened out about something, you do it.\n\nCompassion and Altruism are the best hopes for changing the world for the better. Whether or not this means we "literally" consider someone of a different race a brother or sister is irrelevant. I mean, if we were ALL brothers and sisters... we'd be commiting incest with every birth.\n\nIt's a metaphor. A mental tool used for getting people on the same page, and doing good. So get out there, and do some good.

I can't understand how adults behave this way. That means their minds still immature. Ignore their behavior, enjoy your life. Create your own world and live in peace. Sometimes people who are not of your relatives are more kind and gentle so create good relationships with others. Always help people, one day someone will be there for you.\n\nAt this time don't make their attitude put you down. Whenever you talk to any of them, just show them how happy you are for them that they are independent and have their own jobs, show them how proud you are that you have such sisters, ask them how they are feeling in their new job, and whether they need any help, just be kind to them, one day they will care. Never show that you are feeling bad that you don’t have job. Don't forget to pray for God to help you, he is always there to hear you, and keep on looking for a job and hopefully sooner or later you will get one.\n\nWishing you the best of luck!

I'm not one of those people that just play them back. So I would go have a good time, but just remember what goes around comes back around. God said you shall forgive no matter how bad they treated you still forgive them and he will handle it.

We can't, I mean we probably could but everyone is not willing to change. Mainly because people are well justify for the belief to be racist or prejudice. God tells us "all the ways of men are right in their own eyes." When you think of it anyone can justify their belief in something true or not to cause them to do it. Racism will not end unless we all change, example if I say something mean about the white race would they get defensive and say something back about me or will they lash out at the whole black race. When this happen it will cause others to find a reason to lash out and thus cause separation and discriminating. As long as these groups don't agree on something then we will never get rid of racism.\n\nLike this site all it takes is one word and some words from one group to spark racist thinking from people who are not even racist. Because one side stereotypes one side and vise versa. One side can say how bad one group is and the other group will do the same because everyone want to stand up for their race. Like any argument when we disagree their will always be someone who wants to be right, and neither side is willing to give up any ground. But as long as we disagree we will always continue this cycle of discrimination and racist thinking.\n\nOnly way we can stop it is for all to agree and learn and understand others feeling, right or wrong. Also to do something that both sides can agree on. Because whites and blacks disagree on almost all the above, racism, history, and everthing else. When you think of it if we all agree then their would be nothing to complain about.\n\nLike slavery whites say blacks bring it up because they live in the past, untrue. They do it because whites down play it so much that blacks have to remind them. See if whites acknowlegde what happen then blacks counldn't complain, why complain about something if they already know it. This in it's self will stop a big chunck of racist thinking. All we have to do is find something to agree to. But what are the odds of that happening?

That's a hard one!  I don't think either that they should go back either.  Children need a stable environment.  It's not good on them to be transfered around.  Even back to parents that don't care about them anyways.  Im so sorry that you have to go through this.  If I were you,  I would fight this as hard as you can.  Good Luck!

there is no sure-fire successful way to do this.  i would recommend that you extend the olive branch to them.  time can heal wounds or can cause them to fester and grow worse.  it all depends on the people involved, and the depth of the hurt.  an apology can't hurt, and might even make YOU feel a little better to get it off your chest.\n\ntrust is even harder to pin down... once it's gone, it is very hard to rebuild, and even if it is, it's never quite the same.  people aren't machines, and don't respond very predictably when feelings and emotions are involved.\n\nif you've done all you feel that you can do, eventually it comes down to the other person. (is it your sister, by chance?)  it is up to them, and there is no way to force yourself upon them.  and when you think about it later, why would you want to be around someone like that anyway?  \n\nsad, but it may be time to be at peace with yourself and move on.

Follow your own spiritual path, but let them come to their own conclusions about their path. You can only be accountable for yourself. Just be the best for yourself you can. Be peaceful and try to live by example. Maybe your family will notice without needing to say anything.

i agree completely.what has happened to our country politically has occurred slowly and now we have to come together quickly.but,can we?i am as a firm believer in my politics as are the others on the other side.but we must stop this petty bickering and show a united front.no one has to change their beliefs.but just as we did in WWII fight the evil ones together and defeat them.then we can get back to fighting within the family.as any kid with siblings knows.i can pick on my brothe or sister but everyone else better leave him/her alone or you'll have me to fight too.
