What feels better: forgiveness or revenge?

Dissection. I don’t find the two options deep enough to be able to choose. Crime and punishment is what should be the context, the sheer fact that something or womeone is wronged means that emotions are evoked, but if we do not have any personal tools as to how not to be programmed as to what it is we should feel , then we could easily fall into emotional pitfalls of feeling what is expected of us instead of evolving. Having been wronged has only taught me that doing myself justice as swiftly as possible when wronged is by not harming myself further through falling into anger, rage, revenge-seeking, modes, because they simply leave me bed-ridden. Not to mention that I lose reason while feeling those emotions. They happen because I’m human, but they last for record breaking fleeting moments. I let them happen now when they do, because I know that there’ no harm from them any more, and that they will pass and I will know what it is I need to do once they’re gone. My personal filter has developed enough to let go when need be, especially if the issue is greater than just my simple little world. Then once the emotions have dissipated I dissect the whole issue to know what the whole issue is about, and allow things to fall in place. If there’s something I need to correct about me, then I try hard to do it, that does not mean I always succeed, but dissection is definitely my answer and it cannot be achieved successfully unless done objectively. That is why at times I allow myself the luxury of simple raw emotion because I earn it by knowing that it will not work for me.

Which Madonna is your favorite?

Her iconic debut was the best, because she like the Beatles at the time and their fellow comrades, was a sign of the time.

What stories would you like future generations of friends and family to know about you and why?

I personally have some of them collected in an autobiographical account, they are a beginning to what I would want most of my loved ones to know, but some require fine-tuning, some must be added, and some must be edited, because the facts simply shifted. However, I want to have that collection all said and done, in one whole collection as my gift to those that filled my life with what is and what was worth living for.

The Best Breast List: wowOwow’s Peek Down Dazzling 40+ Décolletage

Lucky genes. I wish I could take praise for something I created. It’s nice and flattering to be told that one is aging gracefully, but what is most important is how do our surroundings allow our spirit to age as gracefully as our bodies. In my case that is the question.

What creates a sense of awe and mystery in your life and why?

Unintentional passion, be it in an animal, a plant or a human being. When any living thing just seems to exist in the most sensual way with complet indifference and unknowing sense of what it is or how it is. The fact that it can make me stop right there and then in the most surprising manner At times it’s a movement or a sound, anything that hits that secret little element, which is our very essence. It’s felt more than actually physically existing.

Here's Why Obama Owes Oprah One Million Thank Yous

This country’s power or counter-power is in the graqssroots movements and iconic copntexts. Oprah and all those similar to her are a great asset when it comes to endorsing a political candidate. If the political candidate is deserving then his/her challenge is greater to maintain the credibility that led to acquiring that endorsement in the first place.

Hillary Clinton to Speak Convention Night, Supporters Plan Nationwide March

The actual strength Senator Clinton has at this point is the fact that she has time to prepare for the coming presidential races. She is msot capable and deservving of being the “first female President” as most American’s would like to put it. She is very fortunate not to have been selected this time.

Michelle Obama to Open Democratic Convention

Michelle Obam is obviously a very capable woman. I just have one comment, why are the elections about slogans and images? IT’s the same with every election, the actual issue is how deep and how effective will the next U.S. presidency be? It is about the institutions behind the curtains and not the actual players on stage themselves. Therefore, I don’t really listen when I hear speeches, slogans, proverbs, quotations, etc…because they are merely rhetoric, the issues are all behind the curtains with the actual influential institutions that are dealiong with them.

Innocent Female Voices Heard From Burning Georgia

The situation is very intricate one and Russia requires support and assistance to solve it. Matters are far more than what they seem to be.

The Prime of Rosemary Gibbons

When comfortably settled in our own lives the only issue that is worth anything is that of being of use to our community, or to one that is not directly related to us. Otherwise why? Nothing else holds the meaning we search for, nothing else should matter when we go to bed at nights knowing that there are children, elderly, or all other vulnerable social segments that are suffering for no reason at all, and that we as a human race are not doing what we can. Everyone knows that all diseases, and social malaises can be addressed and should be addressed similar to the ways that very many of the philanthropists are doing. Falling asleep while being awake is the crime that most politicaians are committing daily, because they favour and choose to adddress some issues and leave others, which in turn become complicated and lead to worse and more chronic problems.

Is Lindsay Lohan a Lesbian?

She is at a vulnerable age which not only is ripe with life from every direction, but the fact that she is wealthy and complacent, a very destructive combination. so she is bored and attempting to find some illusion or other.

HerTube: An Illustrated Look at Life

Being set in our waqys and in our lives only means that we have achieved a definition of our comfort zones, which I have seen many women achieve in so many ways, only to be describes as successful, while once they have set those boundaries and realized their own strrength at doing so, become restless and challenge their own selves, yet again. Meaning that the most bored women at times are what may be on the outside successful and “settled.” It is a tricky business, and not getting what one wants mayb ethe soul saving device. Eg. I once knew a woman that was very pretty, married to a very popwerful man, had the perfect children, had the etc…..She had an affair, that resulted in destroying her marrriage, and losing the entourage she had. She married the man she had the affair with, and it was only months later when she was actually contemplating whether to have a child with her husban/lover or not, when she said to me that she met someone that might be husband no. 3.! I wasn’t surprised, it was just the fact that she was just searching for someone that would be able to see right through her and challenge her, she hadn’t up till thaT moment. That is one way of how women use their beauty and strength, I do aspire to the fact that there are some beautiful woemn that will be allowed to live without feeling that their very souls are the target.

The Vancouver Conversations Part Two: A Few wOw Women on Losing Highly Sentimental Objects

I am an Iraqi/Lebanese woman who by the sheer fact of being a woman means that I set high value to my sentiments and put them up on an insurmountable pedestal. I also noted the fact that I am both Iraqi and Lebanese meaning that I have lived through many a war. That fact alone led me to carry and juggle my cherished little objects around with me for a long time. I was wrong to do so. What I had was what I learnt through them, and from them, which is out of anyone’s touch. That is what I will always have whether those things are with me or not. No one can take that away, I say that to assist women that go through similar losses to allow themselves the luxury of being beyond anyone’s crime to harm them and strip them of what they have. What I carry inside me is what is of value and not what I carry with me. I can always replicate the items but, I cannot replicate the cherished moments I have through them.
