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?

Harmed Feelings - Ways To Get Back On Your Feet Once More

By Mary Saunders

Breakups leave people in the relationship torn, lonely and depressed. It is a very painful experience because it signifies loss and broken dreams. At the beginning of the relationship, there is a high level of romance, excitement, hopes and dreams for the future. However, if such relationship comes to an end, a person feels stress, disappointment, grief and failure.

Getting oneself out of the painful experience is not an easy task. Having to deal with sadness and the feeling of being alone is hard. Yet, one can do some things to make the mending of a broken heart faster.

Dealing with a broken heart is hard. It leaves you helpless and keeps your energy level low. However, you cannot live your entire life in grief. Instead, stand up and find the most comfortable ways for you to get over the heartbreaking incident.

Cry your heart out. Spend a whole day crying and sulking. Sleep and be lazy. Spend the entire day acknowledging the wave of emotions you are feeling. For you to be able to recover, it is best to understand that it is alright to feel that way. Suppressing the pain will do no good. It will just prolong the pain of heartbreak. After doing this for a day, stand up and start moving on.

Find an outlet for your feelings. Although it is difficult to share about how you feel to other people, it is one of the important ways to do to overcome the feeling of loss. Sharing your feelings to other people lessens the feeling of being alone. If you cannot afford to share your thoughts to others, keeping a journal and writing it down will also help.

Strengthen your spiritual side. Going to church, praying and learning from a yogi can help you find your way out of the negative emotions brought about by the breakup. Developing stronger faith to God makes you feel less alone and will help you re-center your life.

Life does not have to end together with the relationship you have kept and took care of for how many years. Learn to let go and accept that some things are not destined to be together. You and your special someone might go separate ways for now, but it you two were really meant for each other, when the time is right, fate will bring you back together. For the mean time, enjoy life on your own. Being single is not bad as it may seem.

Dreaming Of The Truth War

By Dorothy Auston

Truth will set you free. Truth is the fundamental reason of the war going on around us. People fight against each other not only because of benefits, but more importantly, things which people believe to be the exclusive truth. Inside everyone's heart, there is an arena of the war of truth.

This war began in the kingdom of heaven, when Satan was cast out. But we are also involved due to Adam and Eve. This is not only because of the fact that they ate the forbidden fruit, but that they chose to believe lies instead of the truth of God.

Eating the forbidden fruit proves that they believed the lies of the enemy. When you believe a lie, you empower the liar. Agreeing the devil empowers the devil. This allows it to steal, to kill and to destroy. When Adam and Eve acted that way, they denied the truth of God.

Roman chapter 1 verse 18~21 clearly wrote what it means for people to fall. And this is the fall from truth. The word of God is truth and is life. When Adam and Eve chose not truth and life and took lie and death, they are really fallen.

Paul said the eternity and power of God can be clearly seen. According to the original Greek, the words literally mean 'seen from above'. When Adam and Eve were fallen, they fell form the view point of God. Before they opposed the truth, they had perfect right to understand the nature and the will of God.

Paul also said that, 'Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.' This means that people can see the image of God on each other, because we are all made in the image of God. But when human opposed the truth about God's nature, the image is twisted and we lost our original identiy and purpose.

Are You Sure You're Ready To Have An Affair With Another Person?

By Michelle Tatcher

Does it make sense to believe in something that could be a lie? Why on earth would you trust on a cheater? It is very unlikely to do so. This same way you would look at it as a long shot if you tried to get someone to forgive your cheating. So how does it happen?

Once you lose your loyalty and decide that you are going to have an affair, you have broken the most fundamental of marriage vows. The full effect of this is that hearts are broken and pain is caused to the other partner.

It is wise to keep your alertness early on in the relationship. Look for any signs that imply a likelihood of cheating. Are their traces of somebody else?

Before you have an affair with someone else, consider your spouse's feelings and see if what you are doing is worth the moment. One should put himself in his spouse's shoes and see what it feels like to be cheated.

It is more than being diplomatic when you decide to break off the marriage before proceeding intimacy with somebody else. It is much more respectable. You would rather do it this way instead of eating forbidden fruit while still clinging to a marriage partner.

Affairs are never fair to the relationship, no matter who you are. There is so much guilt in knowing that you have cheated on a partner and it puts a wall in between the two of you.

More is even expected of you if you know that you have children. Your children are likely to hurt from the effects of that if you have an affair. How will you deal with the badge of being the one behind your children's sense of insecurity? People should see if they have an answer to these questions before they attempt to cheat.

The action no matter how tempting, is a life changing experiences. You will end up in a life of loneliness once you fall for the trap because the passion you once had for your spouse will fade away so quick and hence there will be nothing to look up to.

Searching For Answers To Some Questions Concerning The Law

By James Murch

The definition of law is not something to easily come by, because a lot of groups of people have varied perception on what law is and what the legal institution should be. This has really made every definition un-sacrosanct and highly subjection. Though un-sacrosanct, we can refer to law as the rules and regulations that societies tide on. The rules and regulations, the agents and agency that ensure the law can also refer to the legal system.

As the world keeps changing, with many people acquiring deep knowledge and understanding of situations around us, many are those who think there is something wrong with the very foundation of law. Some also wonder if it is still important to keep some aspect of the law.

It is now very important to ask certain question that confronts us, Why must the law that protect lives also give acceptance to kill people who have committed crime. Must the law again accept that people take their own lives? Must it necessary restrict grown persons in their marriage life especially as to who to marry?

These are questions which keep knocking on the doors of overseers of the law for answers. But one can appreciate answers to these questions well if they know a little about Jurisprudence. Jurisprudence is simply about the mentality behind law and how is has developed through the generations.

Jurisprudence can be broken into two other headings, Normative and Analytical jurisprudence. Normative jurisprudence does a good work of talking the very structures on which the law survives. That is the things the law regards as right and wrong and why someone should suffer for the things the law regards as wrong.

Considering this, it becomes very difficult to answer some questions, For instance the reason why the law can give a human the permit to take the life of another person. Normative jurisprudence again looks at what the law must be and the logic in giving punishment.

Analytical jurisprudence also takes the burden of looking into the law and the legal system in its entirety. It concentrates on the how the law operates and the different areas the law entails. Analytical jurisprudence is more open and unrestricted in it study, and for that matter it deals with everything about law.

This does not give any look at the logic of the law but rather it focuses on the studying of the layout that has already been put in place.
