Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Why Do I Get Frequent Headaches?

By Rose Williams

Lots of us have to live with headaches, which we have for apparently no reason. Some of these headache types may happen once and then we may live for several years before we get them again. Other sorts of headaches occur far more often. These types of headaches are known as 'frequent headaches'.

Usually, frequent headaches seem to be tension headaches. However, frequent headaches can also be the result of over-dosing on over-the-counter (OTC) medications. This sort of frequent headache is called a 'rebound headache', because, while it is safe to take the recommended dose to combat headaches, rebound headaches happen because the dosage has been exceeded.

Therefore, one of the ways to stop the pain that frequent headaches bring is to slowly reduce the amount of medication that you are taking. For people who may find this step hard, talking with their doctor can help to find the best method to accomplish this without making their headaches or other complaint worse.

Other than overdosing on headache medicine, there are also other factors that can start a bout of frequent headaches. These can be an excessive amount of smoking and drinking lots of alcohol. Therefore, reducing your alcohol intake to a moderate level can help with reducing the severity of your frequent headaches.

As smoking any form of tobacco will increase your risk of getting frequent headaches, it really is best to stop smoking altogether. While it might sound easy to control these frequent headache triggers, you may actually need professional assistance to reduce your frequent headaches.

Therefore, when you talk with your GP you should ask about headache clinics and whether they may have the facilities to help you with your rebound and/or frequent headaches. Individuals who would rather cope with their headache medicine themselves, can start by reducing the dosage a little at a time.

When your body can cope with that reduction, you can lower the amount some more. Should you feel that the headaches are becoming overwhelming, you have the option of taking cortisone to help deal with the pain of the headaches while your body slowly adjusts to the new regime.

Because frequent headaches are probably caused more by the overdose of headache medication, it could be a wise idea for you to take the medication only if you absolutely need to. That way you can control your intake of the medication that causes you to suffer from other headaches in addition to what you originally started the pain medication for.

How To Save Your Relationship After Cheating?

By Ricardo d Argence

Does it seem like relationships and cheating go to together like chocolate and peanut butter? It can start to when everyone you know has had someone cheat on them. And chances are that you've had someone cheat on you. Or when it comes to relationships and cheating, you were the one doing the cheating.

There is a tremendous amount of pain that comes along with cheating. Cheating can affect everyone around you and you not even realize it. Cheating hurts the person whose is being cheated on and also hurt the cheater believe it or not.

Sometimes if you are suspicious about your significant other cheating on you, then you may want to pay attention to his or her moods. In any case if you or someone else is cheating, it doesn't always spell the end of the relationship.

What cheating leads to is a rather large trust issue in most cases. Once cheated on it is very hard in some cases to trust them for anything, sitting there wondering if you will be cheated on again. Knowing that someone cheated makes it something that's hard to recover from.

It's not easy to save these relationships, and cheating is something that can sometimes happen more than once. But if you can truly rebuild your trust in the other person, then you can stay together and be happy.

Do you know why the person cheated on you? That's a very important consideration in whether you'll be able to trust them not to cheat on you again. Were things not good in your relationship at the time, or was it just convenient and just "happened?" You should be able to have a calm discussion about these reasons.

If the reasons turn out to be things like he or she was simply bored that day and the opportunity came along, then you may have problems. If the other person can give no better reasons for hurting you that way, you may want to consider whether you really can forgive them to be happy. It won't be easy.

If you were having problems, then at least the other person may have thought that the relationship was going to end anyway. They might have felt ignored or undervalued.

There isn't a good excuse for cheating and anyway put will be a bad one. However, the excuse will mean a lot to the relationship and whether or not it can be saved.

Staying in a relationship when there is no trust can be a very bad thing. Most people especially with children involved will try to make it work, but in most cases it just leads to even more devastating break ups. Some move on quite well from and forgive rather quickly. In there is a trust issue there that seems as if you cant get over it, there isn't any reason to keep it going.

The stress that can be caused by cheating in a relationship can reach levels of making you sick. Getting to a point where you can trust a person again is easier said then done. Living your life stressing about where or whom your significant other is with, isn't any way to live your life.
