You are doing it all the time and you don't even know it. Why would I want to do this? It is because you choose to. Why would I choose to do this? Because you wanted to learn how pain feels. Why would I want pain throughout my entire life? Because you wanted to learn to overcome it. How can I learn to overcome it if I can never overcome it? Yes, you can, man. All you need to do is believe in yourself. Just because I believe in myself doesn't mean I will overcome the pain in this life. Yes, it does. That is how I broke free from my mental prison. But I am not stuck in a mental prison, I am stuck in reality. Yes, you are. It is so obvious to me and to every other person around. Again define reality. I don't think you know the true nature of reality. Reality is what I am currently dealing with now, in the waking hours of my life. There is nothing for me here. The only thing my future holds is failure. I am worth more dead than alive. I should have never been born. Oh, come on, please don't disappoint me. You are smarter than this. See, that type of thinking right there is what is holding you back. The more you think about that, the more it will manifest in front you. You are stuck. You are not a victim of reality, but the Creator of it. Wake up. How can I create my own reality when people hate me? Why do they hate you? They hate me because I want the world to change. Well, fuck those people, they are losers! Go ahead and try to change to world. I cannot change the world by myself. Until I can prove to people how evil sexual assault is, it will still occur, no matter how hard I try to eliminate it.

MrWolfers 5088 cr points Send Message: Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 1/27/13 The universe is random, everything that happens to you is random, luck is all a matter of perspective. Of course all of Science could be wrong, but I would rather believe high trained, reliable professionals than a book that tells me that two people populated the planet and all animals were within walking distance of Noah's house.

I feel that you should only pray either for things that are completely out of your power or after you've done all you can. Otherwise, I honestly think you're wasting God's time. How can you waste God's time when he has infinite time? God always cares no matter how small your problem is. He has infinite compassion. I just feel like if it's something I know I can do on my own I'm being lazy.

Irukapooka 4020 cr points Send Message: 24 / F Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 1/27/13 I'm surprised that this hasn't become more of a religious flamewar where everyone who has posted here hasn't ripped each others' throats out. Hehe. I believe in the power of prayer. I'm a spiritual person and a Christian. BUT (and let me emphasis BUT) do not pray for something and expect it to magically happen. A lot of people do that, thinking that prayer will save them if they rely on God. But you can't just sit on your butt and tell God to do something for you. You also have to help your situation as well. I hope that makes sense.

For me it's that boring thing I go do on weekdays in exchange for little to even less money, though I guess it all depends on what your goals are.

mesomuffin 8681 cr points Send Message: 18 / F Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 1/27/13 Nope. Generally when I wish for things to happen they don't happen. It tends to be more of like there are periods where life just completely sucks, but then I have a great period of sunshine and happiness that goes on for awhile before everything sucks again. Such is life.

AmaranthTehDrood 6289 cr points Send Message: 18 / M / Vancouver! Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 1/27/13 What? you think that hoping for something to happen or that believing that somone/thing will take care of it for you, instead of taking action yourself is better? That just because i want something done it will happen? No, if you want something done get up and do it. The world wont pander and wait for you. You have to get ahead yourself. Praying and wishing sure as hell ain't going to do it for you.

In the back of my head i think of what i could have done before that made something good happen to me. Besides it feels good being helpful to others.

My answer What is hippopotamus. the host reads: ''Wish in one hand and hippopotamus in the other?'' ''That is incorrect, are you stupid?'' me: ''NOOOOOOO, i was so close with that one, throw me a bone.'' Wow, i really went rogue with that bit.
