Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

China, I think you missed my point about realising our dreams. It's true, many people are unsettled and feel there's more, but few do anything about it. Most are defeated before they try, simply because they think they 'can't'. (Theland, take note - and get writing!).
I am whatever you say I am........I often find it true. ........ I'm pretty sure I don't see myself how my friends ,family, boyfriends (in the past) or even you guys see me..............
That sounds contradictory. First you say you often find it true, and then you say that you don't see yourself as others see you.
but who's to say who's right or wrong. To accept another's assessment of you, especially if it's detrimental, can be disastrous. We have to have the courage to believe in ourselves, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
Names do often suit people, but is that because we only know them by that particular name, and don't know any differently? Names also conjure up ideas of what people are like, and their social status, but that can often be misleading.
China, putting your picture on a website to find out who you look like? I've never even heard of half the people you mention, so I haven't got the foggiest!
You can have my dress if you like, China. It's very nice, but I prefer dresses that sweep the floor.

Not contradictory at all.... It agrees with the statement. E.g. I am whatever you say I am in that if you think I'm compassionate then I am compassionate because for you to think that I must have acted compassionately either towards you or in front of you at some point. However, I would not call myself compassionate. Someone has seen something in me that I would not have thought was there but if they've interpreted it as so then it's likely that it is. Therefore, I am whatever you say I am.
Knowing yourself helps you make a judgement call on what you really are as opposed to what someone thinks you are. I've just answered a thread inB&S in some detail and citing myself and a family relationship as an example. It could be called compassionate. However, if that same question had been asked by any poster I disliked or detested I would not have answered the thread at all despite the fact that i could probably help. Therefore what I am is selective. The poster might think I'm compassionate now too and they'd be right in a way. It was a compassionate post.
So now I know I have evidence I can be compassionate but only if I like you or if you're a complete stranger which actually also makes me selective and also uncaring and cold (as percieved by those I dislike if they know I could actually help but choose not to) and they'd be right too. So hence, I am still whatever you say I am and no one is particularly right or wrong.
Knowing yourself allows you to make a judement on whether someone has percieved a truth about you regardless of whether it's detrimental. The two aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, you need both in order to have the wisdom to make them in to useful tools.
I bet I get three stars for

Absolutely names do all of what you suggested, but why? It's a word. Say your name outloud to yourself several times (possibly in the bathroom or somehting otherwise Mr 24 might think you've flipped) and your name will start to sound absolutely ridiculous. Plus then we have abbrievations of names, pet names, nicknames... They all have different meanings too. So say... to me, the name Elizabeth (Pride and Prejudice) sounds quite posh but the name shortened name Liz (That bird from Corrie) sounds really common to me. Same bl00dy name and two extremes.
Perhaps, in that instance, where compassion has been shown - but that could have been a one-off occasion. You could be the most uncaring person in the world, so you are not truly what they say you are. They only perceive you to be that way, but their perception isn�t reality. And what if people tell you you�re a loser when in fact you have high ambition and potential? Or what if their expectations of you are higher than you are able to achieve? Would you still stay you are whatever they say you are, or would you have the wisdom to know you aren�t?
Now that�s interesting! Why wouldn�t you feel compassion or give helpful advice to someone you don�t like? I�ve never really understood why people are like that. I would - even if it was Keyplus!!
Funny you should say that about names. I have stood in front of the mirror and said my name out loud - and it sounds very odd indeed. I wonder why?
Bet I don�t get three stars for this because I�ve failed to come up with the answer. Oh well, dunce�s cap on and off to the corner with me!

But their perception of me is based on their experienced reality of me and in their reality I'm compassionate whereas in anothers I'm uncaring. I know myself so I can say that in fact I'm both and neither. I can be both compassionate and uncaring but it's a selective process. This doesn't alter any of the realitys or perceptions.
And what if people tell you you�re a loser when in fact you have high ambition and potential?
This depends on why you're being called this. So say sports of some kind, if you call me a loser in that you'd be damn right, I hate them and I suck at them, (whether I hate and suck at them because I'm a loser at them is an entirely different matter). If they're saying it because they're just a horrid person, then you need to know yourself well enough to make that judgement call.

See, I'd answer that with a why on earth would I help them? I rarely deliberately want people to suffer but if someone I dislike is suffering I'm not going to go out of my way to ease that suffering. About the best I can do is try not to laugh at their suffering. Basically, if I like you or you're a stanger (therefore I'm at least indifferent and at best empathising with you) then of course I will help, I don't like to see people hurting where I can do something about it. If I dislike you, I don't care enough about the fact you're suffering to ease it. Unless you're bleeding to death in front of me or it effects someone I do I'd be hard pushed to see why I should help. Fortunately, there are very few people in this world I dislike (and at least one I'm not massively fond of but I do also love so then it just gets complicated! :-D).
Would any of you help someone you actively disliked? And if so, why? (Well maybe not you Theland, I'm sure you would out of a sense of christian duty).
Any word you say outloud too long sounds odd because you begin to hear it as a sound rather than a word. A name becomes more so because as we've already said, we identify and percieve things to a name, including ourselves. When we then hear our name as just a sound it all becomes a little surreal.
You'll get three stars Naomi as it doesn't matter if we make flippant comments or serious ones, they're all marked the same which as I've already stated makes the system valueless and a 'hello' would hold infinitely more value. I got three stars for saying it too.
Like an onion, peeling away the layers to reveal ..... more layers ....... quite a discussion ....... but, no, I would not help somebody out of a sense of duty, although you are right, insofar as it is a duty of a Christian to help others.
But here's the rub .... doing it a duty is meaningless in the eyes of God, and it is the motivation for doing it at all is what counts.
Some folk might do genuinely good works, in order to be recognised as a most generous philanthropist, and receive accolades from the public, a knighthood even, whereas others could do exactly the same good works, but shrink from the public glare, enjoying only the knowlege that they have done right, the sign of true love, which comes from the heart.

I've been pondering this helping people thingy - and the simple answer is, I can't help it. It's just a part of me. it's who I am. It doesn't occur to me not to help people, even if I don't like them.
Now, on to the question of the enigmatic mibs' strange absence - and the mystery of the stars. (Shhhhh ..... gather round. Now, consider this. Could it be ..... possibly ..... that we three - and occasionally Luna - have unwittingly been lured into an electronic glass tank, and are now the subject of an in-depth social experiment - guinea pigs under a microscope?).

Mum always said she thought I'd do well, and maybe go to university, and so she was right, insofar as I'll end up in a large glass jar full of mingozine to be studied well into the next century by spotty faced students doing a course on the biology and psychology of fat grandads.
Mum. God bless her. Her name was Alma.

So come on!
Don't be shy!
Mums Christian names please ...........
You too Mibs!
(Nobody will trace you).
We are on our honour to tell the truth.
Dads name was Thomas.
Give that a go as well.
Both my parents are dead, (Mum 1993 aged 68 and Dad 2005 aged 87).
It's part of who I am.
Remember Donna?
Poor husband returned to work and fell down a flight of steps - broken ribs and concussion. What a life, poor ******!
