something in the air

[Mnemolth]

Well, this IS the season to be merry. So naturally many people are sad. Psychologists and counsellors love to tell its this disorder or another, but really, its just living.

Xmas and New Year is a time to be spent with love ones, friends and family. Well, what if you don't have any friends? What if you don't like your family? See the problem? That's all it is.

What many people don't understand is that families fight. Its no big deal, unless you make it a big deal. We get on each other's nerves. That's to be expected. It doesn't mean we don't love each other, or that, to phrase another shrink term, we're 'dysfunctional'.

But yes, the festive season does bring out yearning for love and affection, for belonging, and for many in this world today, and for many on these Boards, things are not as well as we feel they should be. So naturally some of us are bound to be hurting a little bit more than usual around this time of year.

The season reminds us of what we want and what we do not have. Of course it should also remind us of who we are, and celebrate what we do have. But unfortunately, we tend to miss that bit. :D

[color=#507AAC]MathGuy, please...you're way off topic. I'm going to remove your post.

ShyGuy: I know that your thread wasn't designed to be negative or anything...I wasn't really referring to yours specifically. I was just saying that it can be hard to tell who is serious and who isn't when you're online.

Your thread was positive in the sense that hopefully it encouraged honesty from others.[/color]

[size=1][b][color=darkblue]Don't worry about it James. I was defending my thread from the original post in this thread, not yours. -Shy[/b][/size][/color]

Sorry Jeff, hate to say this, but I don't think I'll be living what you say our last days are, as probably most people should. Might I inquire as to what has pointed you in the directtion to believe that we're all gonnna die soon?
Isn't the "2nd Coming" of Jesus suppossed to be a good thing, or when he comes back is he packing an uzi? Of course, the alleged return of the son of god means this is it? OF COURSE!!! (major sarcasm) How do we know he's coming back anyway, or is this the word of God that your local preist recieved? We're all going to die soon! Ever been in a cult Jeff?

My mum won't talk.

Okay.....she will but only when it'svery quiet and she's watching television. She "forgets" about everything then.

I asked her a few days ago why she won't talk to anyone (not even her friends mind you), and she said "I've got too much **** on my mind to be talking to eveyone!".

.....she's pretty damn angry right now.....and that brings me to pretty much agree with you aswell. :D It's because of Christmas and the New Year, I'm sure of it.

And if you do notice them, I'd just igore them. Prophecies to do with exact dates (whether thr end of the world or not) are very rarely right.

I think there's supposed to be a little more to it than that.. various things about a beast, and the whole "666" thing.. The second coming is a good thing, but there's a lot more to it than that. I'm not an expert (if you can call them that) on the matter though, so I don't really know a lot more than that.

Deus, I can deal with someone saying that Jesus will return but I think that the end of our days thing is a bit much, I'm just glad you dont hold with such talk aswell.
