Well, that is a nice topic...from my prospective, when somebody is in pain..he needs any thing that make him feel better...specially words.....words have a strong effect on somebody specially when he is in an emotional mode...some people have the talent to do that to themselves....but others need somebody to do that for them.....so for me...it is not big deal to give nice and warm words for somebody who really needs them for two important reasons:
1- It is part of our human nature to feel with others, even if we don't know them..
2- We should help others even with words...

I want to ask people who disagree with this an important question: if you are walking in the street and you find somebody (whom you haven't known before) needs help, will you help him?

i care. the world doesnt need any more apathy.


Maybe not, but if you have feelings about, say, a cousin of a mingler you have never spoken to who was in a car wreck and broke his legs, shouldnt you break down into tears when you see a million starving homeless Africans?


I care...and I know that one persons suffering is just as valid as another persons. Whatever they are feeling, they ARE feeling. I don't compare their pain with that of others, but try to offer comfort when I can. My life has been impacted by the kindness of strangers many time, all who had nothing to gain by it. That spirit of compassion, generousity, and decency is what I believe in, what I aspire to, and why I continue to care. Me personally, I wouldn't want to be any other way! flowerforyou

one start a journey down a road, and meet 20 people???

each one say HOW SELF SHOULD FEEL???

if self believe what all 20 people say is good for self to feel, what will happen to self by the time it reach the end of the road???

SELF IS NO LONGER SELF, BUT A CLONE TRYING TO MIMIC WHAT IT "HEARD" WAS GOOD???

since environment is constantly changing each second, and emotions are controlled by the electromagnetic field of the earth, for self to TRY TO BE ANYTHING MORE THAN WHAT IT IS, IS CERTAIN CONFUSION AND CHAOS, often called in modern day ADHD, ADD, ADCP, APDP, AVRP, AND ALL THE REST WE WILL MAKE UP???

Tough thing ... here is my take.. I may tend to agree with Dan.. I mean, really its one thing to show your emotions and "caring" about someone you "actually " know. But someone you don't know on here? And the throw in the "prayers" requested. I don't pray.. I have my own beliefs about religion I won't go into here.. I guess when I read a thread about such things. I just won't post anything. Because if it didn't come from the heart.. It isn't much to offer someone. Better to say nothing at all. Other wise I will think I am being a phoney.


As for offering help to someone you meet on the road of life? Don't we all help in one way or another? A smile, a gesture , maybe finacial help, a kind word? Just saying hello for the first time.. thats different then here on a thread

I guess i dont seek to receive sympathy or compassion online, so neither do i seek to give it.

Im a caring person in general, i feel. But i am realistic too, and am honest about the way i feel. Maybe i could show a lot more sympathy and empathy towards things but at the same time, other people could be more honest and show less.

Yes i would stop for someone in the street if i could help them, and have done on several occasions.

if there is compassion within, then self put it not there, and if there is lack of compassion within, self as well did not take it out!!!

each emotion at each time and second shift, and is only REAL if it is what self totally want???

if there is no compassion, then there MUST BE FAITH IN SELF THAT THERE IS A GOOD REASON, or self is subverted into a clone following ideas???

When you see a thread and someone is ill, dying, dead or whatever..do you REALLY give a damn?


It depends. If I know, or have gotten to know the person who is posting about it, yes I do.

If I don't know the person, or, the person was doing something stupid that caused the death(Lusk) I don't give a damn, and can't really even find enough sympathy to even try to fake it.

That being said, If I were to die doing something stupid, I would fully expect for people to not really give a damn, and to call me a moron.

nothing in life can be decieved by fraudulent intentions if it is taught to perceive it's own feelings as perfect and good???

to teach a moral code of good behaviour is no less than subverting sanity within an entire race???

if self does not allow itself the freedom to embrace all it's own feelings as a perfect TELL of reality, soon reality become as misery with no knowing why???

the mind decieve itself easily, but the body does not lie!!!

I can understand why some people do put out their personal tragedies online for all to see. You often hear people call this community a 'family', for some its an important outlet. Whereas some people just want some attention, and thats the best way that they know how to get it. Others sit back a bit and dont take it quite so seriously.

I do post to most of the prayer threads. Even when I don't know the poster, or family involved. I know what its like to be alone, in a *****in situation. F'ing sucks. Nothing like someone's blood on your hands, as you watch them die. And, have people with thier heads in their arse telling you to get over it. So, yeah, I pray each and everytime I post. If you pray or not, thank a vet. If you can read this, thank a teacher.

One of the most important things for me is to be true to myself, i will do the same and say nothing unless i really mean it.

it is easy to spot and actor and a fake, as the reason given for it's own actions will be because of a belief???

the only true reality is what actually happen, not what one surmizes will happen even before it happen???

it cannot be true reality if it is what self chase as a belief???

the greatest evidence of what be real and true self is one only seeing and saying it does what it want in each situation???

following a good belief is like following a ghost, and a ghost is always the first to profess itself be what it think is all good things???

If you believe in prayer, or healing thoughts, then that is a good enough reason to pray or send out thoughts. At least as long as you really believe it in your own mind, be it actually of any use or not.

My only problem is with people that desire people to respect them for being nice and caring, when actually they are no more caring than i am. None of these people that do this will come forward and admit it though.

It is easy to spot them, hence this thread, i see a lot of it, and often. Fake sympathy helps nobody in my opinion. Their words may say nice caring things, but their falseness and dishonesty is more damaging that the outward display of sympathy.

I am known to be both. A caring person to some. And a abosolute Jack Ass to others. ( yes, my spelling sucks) It's like everything else. Some folks are just wanting to see thier names, and get the post count. Others, to help in a safe/respectable way.
