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?

Methods To Handle Shameful Situations

By Carol D. Thomas


We usually don't know how to behave or respond to a person who jokes about us. The given guidelines however have proved best to deal with such situation.

People make fun of other because they want to make them embarrassed or hurt them. This can be avoided if you totally ignore the joke and take it as a normal conversation. Reacting to a joke or defending yourself makes the joke more intensified. Keep the conversation go on.

You can also respond to a person making fun of you by joking back. This puts the person joking about you in your place.

To make such a joke you have to act really smartly. Say the joke in such a way that it shows your advantage over the person joking about you. The person will realize than how fool he has been by joking about you.

Take the joke positively. Reacting in a defensive way to a joke made about you shows your lack of confidence. You better take the joke as a normal comment or rather amplify it.

For suppose if you are asked by some one that you do not go out a lot, you can simply answer by saying yes, in fact this is the first time during the whole year that I have come outing. This will prove to the person that you are very much confident with whatever you do.

A joke made by a person about you sometimes faintly shows that there is something behind the apparent meaning of the joke. The person is joking about you because he has some problem. In such situation you should keep the joke aside and focus on the injury behind.

If you manage jokes in a good way, you actually keep yourself away from getting hurt or insulted. The skill of handling jokes in a better way also shows your good way of responding to others.
