Does True Love Exist? What Is It?
is it an instant connection felt between two people, unfolding and growing due to their tender nurture? is it destiny, are we meant to be? when you are in love, can other prospects compare with what you already have? is it a beautiful, unearthly phenomenon or a straightforward issue, brought about by pragmatic necessity? such a huge part of all our lives and how many understand the origins of the ever-shifting beast we call love? is it possible to be understood? what makes someone fall in love? what gives birth to some of the most important relationships we will ever experience, the most painful, the most exciting, the most....... … Read More

i am of the opinion, that it is not only an honorable deed to 'give back - a nice thing that nice people do ---it is a necessity. it sickens me to think that a small handful of people possessing billions of dollars, could feed the ENTIRE POPULATION oF THE WORLD, and they don't. have they forgotten that there are people, families, children in the world who have nothing to eat and no place to sleep? how do they live with themselves? it just blows my mind that with all the opportunities available, millions of people are denied the basic rights of humanity, constantly. people employ masseuses for their dogs and own commercial-turned-personal airliners, while millions of children have died, are dying and will die in the future from starvation, exposure and lack of medical attention. are there really people out there that think their fellow humans don't deserve help? i also hate hearing about the lazy, ungrateful homeless right here in our own country. some people meet hard times and find they can't match up to the pressure on their own. they have no one to help them. they are cast into the street and instead of giving them aid we spit on them. how is a person looking the way they do, going to get a job. no one's going to give a smelly bag lady a job. but if no one gives her a job, how is she going to have money to make herself acceptable to society to get a job? can you say catch-22? not to mention, how many of them are supposed to have severe mental illnesses? 40%, give or take. almost half. 11% are parents with children. 23% are children under the age of 18. At least according to the SAMHSA National Mental Health Information Center. i don't even think i can talk about it anymore, it makes me so angry. i don't think people should be forced to give away their millions, strike that....billions. i think they should want to. i think they should want to help their fellow man, woman, and child. if that makes me a pinko bitch, so be it. i prefer to think of myself as an idealist. better connotation, though none-the-less despised in our practical society.
