I think purpose is an individual thing that one must discover for themselves. I know people who feel like their mission in life is to be a massage therapist. I know others who feel like they were put on this planet to spread the Gospel. If you're lucky you get paid to do what gives you a sense...
For every 'study' you find there are other 'studies' done by 'scientists' which will argue in favor of the benefits of lifestyles your God considers inappropriate and immoral. This leaves people with the 'freedom' to do what those who worship their own minds and their own understanding wanted to...
Nietzsche you either are an encyclopedia on Nazi history or you are a total genius at making it sound like you are. This is an absolutely fascinating thread. One of the most interest I've read on RF
I think you would be a very interesting person to know. I can really relate with your outlook on life. I wonder if our biggest problem is the way we look at things, if our problem is looking through life through a dirty lens. I contemplate that for myself at least
I'm not even sure anymore. I always thought I knew what I was looking for but have never found it. I just feel very lonely despite the fact that I have so many acquaintances and even a few close friends
I'll start. I hate my life because I don't have any of the things I want to get out of life. I'm on a career path I'm not passionate about, I never meet the right girl, my life feels like it lacks purpose and meaning. Most of my dreams have been crushed for the time being. Fwiw, I've been...
This is a pretty good sum up as well. You can feel the sexual connection when you talk to someone and look them in the eye. The interesting thing is that I think women need that connection to take place in order to feel attracted enough to you to come home with you. A woman could go up to a guy...
If it's a man interested in a woman, Just start talking to her as a friend not as someone trying to get in her pants. See if she engages you in conversation. If she shows interest in getting to know you ask her out to something quick and easy like a drink or coffee. If you just want to get laid...
I came back because my life went to hell, same reason I found Jesus in the first place. Jesus saved my life when I was about to die and still every time my faith had been tested I've walked away. Go figure. It's funny how hitting a brick wall can really change your belief system. People pick and...
I found Jesus again after walking away from him for a few years. Despite the fact that my religion was listed as evangelical I really wasn't living it. I find myself feeling much better and acting a little nicer. That's by far the biggest development of my year. I want to find purpose for my...
Words are simply a bucket filled with meaning. For example, Ive heard of Christians who call themselves 'Muslims' because technically the word means 'submission to God'. I think most people would say that's a little disingenuous. Even if the same word was used 1000+ years before (I have no idea...
I'd like to get married but I don't make much of an effort to find good women to do that with. I feel really discouraged about finding a girl I'd really be happy with long term. I meet so many women also. I get a lot of interest but it's usually from the wrong women. Most of the women I meet...
what a lousy movie. How many times are they going to blow up the death star? The movie would've been entertaining if it had been the first of the saga but we've seen this story before. It was a mistake to let JJ Abrams take it over. All he did was make some unoriginal blockbuster that the casual...
