Hey guys, I'm curious about everyone current goals or changes you want to make. It all starts with two words...I will do one random act of kindness a day.
-
I will...
-
I have two goals, actually.1. To complete my story i've conceived from the basics that's been changed and grown as I have since i was 11 or 12. (I'm 14 now.) in story form, of course. but i'm currently taking a break after four-five months of constant writing 2. To gain some darn weight and to get stronger and healthier than I am because... well yeah. Just because I want to be better.and so many other tiny ones that i currently put no focus into whatsoever :[
-
I will get better and stop feeling as horribly sick as I have for the past while, and try my best to stay that way.
-
I will follow my exercise plan every week.I will eat a healthy diet for the rest of my life.I will fight in the UFC within the next 5 years.

Java, you don't get on MSN anymore? I don't even know if I remember what your e-amil address si.. actually I just checked and I found it. Or sende me a PM, whatever.
My goals (if any) are simple:
I will survive today -
I haven't lately, it's on my other comp that I haven't unpacked yet.Thats an easy goal >.<
-
It's not easy for everyone. For some people, it's a great achievement.
-
> Thats an easy goal >.<
I'm happy that's an easy goal for you, but for others, it may not be. Keep that in mind.
-
For him, as far as I know, it is an easy one.
-
as far as I knowThat's your limitation
-
Do you have a disease that would bring you to an end today?Other then that, I'm assuming that you're not starving to death, you're not in the hospital for injuries as of right now, you're not living in a high risk country, so as far as I know, you'd need a disease of some sort.
-
By the time you read this post, at least one person will die in a car accident. Many others will also die before you finsihr eading this sentence on a bunch of stupid shit.You never know what will happen.Also, I hear Depression is a disease.

I know better then you about the horrors in this world, you think you can sit behind your computer being depressed and think your the only "down to earth one" about it, but do you do anything to stop it? Have you EVER done anything REAL to stop it? Its easy for you to say "Someones dying" becuase, someone is. Someone's being born as well. There are 6.8 Billion people in this world, InSearch. That's too many for this earth to hold, so i can only hope the population is in a decline. It's sad, of course it is. But you have to get over it. You can get over depression any time you actually want to. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t125/BeeLuminescent/4xp5x53.jpg

I know better then you about the horrors in this worldYou don't know that, so why are you saying it? You have absolutely no idea what horrors of this world I've seen, and I don't know what horrors you've seen so I'm not going to say I know better than you, because I don't.> you think you can sit behind your computer being depressed and think your the only "down to earth one" about itNo, why do you ask?> but do you do anything to stop it? Have you EVER done anything REAL to stop it? Yes, I have. I do everyday, really.> Its easy for you to say "Someones dying" becuase, someone isYou have the attitude "It can't happen to me". Next time you get in your car, you simply expect to make it to your destination. That's just how humans think, but sometimes it helps to remember to not take everything for granted, don't you think?> Someone's being born as wellThat's nice, but that's not going to help yours or my survival.> That's too many for this earth to hold....But you have to get over itWho said I wasn't over it? If anything, I'd say I'm the last person who needs to get over the fact that people die everyday.> But you have to get over it. You can get over depression any time you actually want to. I wouldn't say it was as easy as that, but I do agree that it's up to me to get over it.> http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t125/BeeLuminescent/4xp5x53.jpgwtf is up with thatEdit: That color thing at the bottom is the trippiest thing I've seen all day, damn

Quote:You can get over depression any time you actually want to.I think that is utter rubbish. If you can get over it by willing it, it wasn't depression.And the garishly coloured jpg text is equally tripe. Just imagine someone being abused and raped and hurt and used deciding to be happy.I suspect all this rubbish has a particular philosophical/political motive. Its purpose is to try to make people's unhappiness to be their own fault, so it isn't anyone else's. It's disgusting.

Oh man, as i read the first few posts leading to the last I realized it was going to break into a fight. x.xI think Java_Addict is perfectly aware that bad* things are going on this world. I also assumed, as I read her post, that the person of whom she was speaking to must've known her closer than a stranger, seeming as the person has her MSN, so she could probably be better entitled for a person telling that other person it's an easy goal for him/her to survive everyday.On top of that, even if she didn't know the person it'd still be kind of alright because i'm going to say that more than 50% (assumed statistic) of the world is free of disease. But even if it was below fifty, you can't just go around meeting people thinking of asking them if they have a disease. It'd be completely random and give hints of a sense of paranoia and whatnot. It's just human way to assume the other person is as healthy as you are if they seem it. Us humans like to get our answers fast; we don't like to waste time on things we can answer in seconds that's basic, like guessing if someone's in good health, even if it means getting the wrong answer.And I put the asterisk above after the word bad because (this is for another thread, another post, and another topic, one not to be discussed currently post-this-post) I don't believe in good and bad. (which again, is not open for discuss, and I don't plan to get into an argument/debate/dispute on it.) :]....>< Hm. I wonder if I overlooked anything.

going to break into a fightNo one is fighting here.> I think Java_Addict is perfectly aware that bad* things are going on this worldIf you had read my posts, you would've seen that I said I don't know what Java does/doesn't know about the bad things in this world and it's not up to me to say that.> I also assumed, as I read her post, that the person of whom she was speaking to must've known her closer than a stranger, seeming as the person has her MSNThat's what I thought too, apparently not. Even though, to be honest, I can't remember anything I've talked about with her, which is why I asked if she could get on MSN so she could refresh my memory. > so she could probably be better entitled for a person telling that other person it's an easy goal for him/her to survive everydayThe only person who can tell you if that's an easy goal or not is either me, or Pete (aka Ineligible, posted right above you). Note that list does not include Java.> On top of that, ..... getting the wrong answer.Don't know where that whole paragraph came from, but all I'm saying is this: Surviving through the day may be an easy goal for some people (as it should be for everyone), but I don't like it when people don't consider the fact that basicalyl anything can happen, and there's no telling who will survive today. You could die tomorrow, you know that right?

Quote:You can get over depression any time you actually want to. that's just... bs (i think) there are so many types and degrees of depression.... ur f*n lucky if u can just get over it. i will drink my sprite.sorry i have no goals and my changes are too private to post on a public forum.

Okay, it's not a fight, but it's certaintly not a friendly discussion, either. And you have to admit that Java_Addict was getting ticked off slowly, you could say, and I have to admit that from what I could examine, you were belittling Java_Addict with hints in your tone and sentences.Okay, i wasn't saying that you didn't know she was perfectly aware, i was stating that i thought she was perfectly aware. That first sentence of my post had nothing to do with anything I wanted to say to you.And she may not be on the list, but she never said that it was an easy goal for you, either. She said "as far as I know," stating that, yes, she wasn't in the perfect position to say you were perfectly fine and had an easy time to get by, but still, most likely, you were part of the majority of the world who is perfectly fine, which she assumed, with my explanation expressed in my last post.She never gave any clues that, or at all not considered the fact that basically anything can happen, at any time and any place. She was just pointing out the fact that she was assuming you were doing just fine with survival in life because she sensed no signs of anything wrong with your life. I'm sure Java_Addict is an open-minded person, something I get from the things she posts and the way she says them, so I'm also sure that she knows anything can basically happen.Yes, I know I could die tomorrow; that doesn't change my whole idea of tomorrow, though. If there's no obvious or probability-increasing chance that I might die tomorrow that's been hinting at me for quite some time, I don't see the need to get myself worried, or even think of the chance of me dying tomorrow. I still know I could die tomorrow, I just choose not to think about it.:]

> And you have to admit that Java_Addict was getting ticked off slowly, you could say, and I have to admit that from what I could examine, you were belittling Java_Addict with hints in your tone and sentences
I actually see no hint of Java getting pissed off. I'm sure she will tell you the same, unless I have completely misread her posts.
And I wasn't trying to belittle anyone. I just didn't like how she said she knew about the horrors in the world than me, which may very well be true, but she has no basis for flat otu saying: I've seen more horrors than you. I was just trying to tell her she shoudln't generalize like that.
To build on that, Java also said that I could get over depression anytime I wanted too. As you can see by two other members (who would both know what they're talking about), that statement was quite false.
> most likely, you were part of the majority of the world who is perfectly fine, which she assumed
Two things you shouldn't really say on a message board, especially one like AfraidToAsk: A lot of people here are not part of the majority, and you shouldn't assume things about people. People come here with problems, so you should never assume that they are just fine. That's all I'm saying.
> I'm sure Java_Addict is an open-minded person
Like I said earlier, I have no memory of what I talked about with her, but I do believe she was one of the nicer persons I've tlaked to. Again, I wish I remembered more about her, but I can't right now so I can't say more on that
> I don't see the need to get myself worried
I agree. In fact, don't get yourself worried tomorrow. But please don't come to a place like A2A and assume everyone is doing fine.
