that we are born of the stars and our energy returns to them when we shed our physical form....pure energy returned to the cosmos....that in essence we are all gods

Yes, know that but where....did it all begin...hmmmmmmm???the milleniums old questions ...to look at the night sky....hurts my head after awhile

It does touch your heart don't harden it that is what is happening to them. Keep your heart as it is one action of human kindess a day passes on. There is negativity but there is good. I choose the positive.

You don't realize still it hit you close to home. My sister was murdered by some nut killing women because of hate. Some women done him wrong thing. He killed a 14 year old too I keep in touch with her mom. He killed 2 and almost another and was caught. The sad thing is they had his license plate number from the first murder and knew where he lived my sister could of been saved.

not mine...i wait to return...

It took you 35 years to learn, yet you have parents and family loved one and friends, teacher and councillor, what do you think they were doing for the 35 years sitting on there thumbs?
We all learn different things at different times, we look at the walls surrounds our lives and yet we still throw rocks at others!
Your life is different from every other person yet you sit on you pc BS about how empathic you are?
If you can’t understand how someone can snap,
How the world can turn completely black,
How the sun can just stop being,
How empathic are you?
Empathy you need to understand the dark as well as the light
Don’t get me wrong I hate to think about a child dieing I hate to see families destroy, I would hate to lose 8 million
But I don’t know the family that’s child died, I don’t know the family destroyed and I don’t blinking have 8 million, so I feel pain I wont kid myself to how other feel, because though I can sympathy I cant feel there emotions!
Next time you think about Complaining because your some real empathic person, go talk to someone rapt, someone that’s had a miscarriage tell them how much you understand how they feel! Because there laughing in your face

Ok that sounds a little nastier then I meant!

people can convince themself that they are doing 'good' by dying or taking lifes that are or will 'suffer'

I feel my standards are too strong to ever take a life but it is a psychology that isnt too far fetched. I think of women sold into bondage who gave birth to little girls and chose to kill them before allowing them to be captured. I am of the belief that the 'afterlife' is better than this but I do not believe it my right to send anyone there.....others feel they do themselves and others favors by doing just that (look at suicide bombers,,,)

you sure make plenty of assumptions!
exactly how do you know me? or my upbringing? answer..YOU DONT..
i dont sit behind a pc thank you & i do genuinly feel others pain as well as their joy..so before you spout off again try thinking first and not assuming it just might make you look intelligent

i know that ...i was simply stating my sorrow over the situation and my disappointment in the growing complacency in society as well as the amount of selfish rotten crap that is done to one another... at that i wish people did get it

LOL I’m not trying to look intelligent, far from it I’m dyslexic and I use these boards to practice!
I’m trying to express my opinion in relationship to a topic you posted
I expressed Displeasure at someone saying there empathic, but not understanding something as basic as fear, anger, hate, loathing, Love, desire and all the other emotions out there that make the most intelligent person do amazing, wondrous and hateful things!
If you read all I said I said basically what your accusing me of I don’t know your life, but guess what you don’t know there’s! I have no idea what could drive you to kill a child.
I can’t imagine feeling so lost that I would take anyone life, I can’t imagine even considering it, but you think you can, not only can you understand it but you have the cure! I admit your cure is a work of art we can stop paying psychologists all we have to do is ignore there individual emotional response of different people in different situations how easy is that?
Ok ill put it a bit better!
empathy which literally translates as in feeling, is the capability to share another being's emotions and feelings have you ever considered killing a child?
So how can you see how they would take the only choice they feel is open to them I did not even go it to there mental state!
Mate If your not open to basic debate what are you posting for!

It's a rough cruel world out there. People of all ages die horribly every day, in ways you can't even imagine. Most folks chose to ignore these things until it hits them close to home. A persons only choice is to do what they can with the tools they have. And try to keep moving on. Empathy is a good thing, but too much of it will drive you nuts. And trying to figure out the whys of the world will just lead you to more questions.

well i do believe if you read all my posts there is nowhere that says i dont understand anger, fear, and all the other things that go with it...i simply asked if people were really that hopeless...that was the point of the thread...get it?
using words like "someone who claims"
"complaining" and the general affront to my genuine sense of empathy is insulting to me...
mostly i was expressing my wish that everyone gets it like i have....
keep practicing, good luck

has anyone seen a movie called "The Shift" it's an excellent movie talks about embracing life and being happy with the life you have, regardless of your problems .
I would strongly recommend it, if you haven't seen it.

already do that. everyday....still you cant escape reality

Some people have poor impulse control, some people think about it and other people act on it then you have the middle group that thinks about it and has the proper control until **** hits the fan. Sorry, it has been the same way for generations...only difference is the media has grown.

Wow..so glad someone on here has heard of this.....

Kudo's to you. So nice to see another on here that is open minded enough to seek out such wonderful life lessons.

Thanks for being here

Will have to check it out

Actually, I believed in that long before the movie came out, it gets harder sometimes to follow than others, but it made me a much better and happier person.
It’s a wonderful fresh outlook on life, why fight the current swimming against the flow of the river, knowing that if you float with it and enjoy the scenery, you’ll get to your destination much faster and won’t be exhausted.

people are f-ked in the head,that's all i can say

actually, i do too, but your are sympathising and no empathising in this case. Which is completely undestandable, and must come as quite a shock only being a few houses away from you. Yes, people need to move on and it sounds like it may have been a domestic violence situation from your infereces. Sometimes people get fixated on others and can not let go through control. Domestic violence is never pretty and it is sad but it takes instances like these to change laws. PFA's do not work when people walk through the door it is already too late.
