I've hit rock bottom more than once in my life. My people here know what I mean by that. There were times where I wanted to end my life because I was so sick of the bullsh1t.

I believe my purpose in life is to be happy and give my happiness to others and be an example for them proving that no matter how hopeless and impossible life may seem that this is temporary and that there is something beautiful in store for them as long as they want it badly enough and feel worthy of it.

Thanks 26Taurus I'll always have a soft spot for you. Last semester in school went really well, mostly cuz me and Mr. Virgo weren't fighting all of the time. And yep I'm stillll with him! We're actually doing better and better with time. It's been a matter of understanding his earthiness through my Taurus Moon and Virgo Mercury and well he has no fire really, so we're still working on him understanding me Thanks for asking sweets. How's everything going with you? Are you still into Osho? I got a few of his books because of you! (been meaning to tell ya that)

A Weasel, Are you implying that if a person wants to give to others that they don't care about themselves? What do mean by having your sh!t together? Personally I feel it is more internal, like being able to Love yourself and others. If you mean materialistically...well some people don't care so much about how much money they're making or that they make a name for themselves in the world. I'm planning on going for my PHD, getting Bachelor's right now in Psych, so that I can combine it with my favorite spiritual teachings and practice Spiritual Psych. I did not mention that I want a degree to brag (sometimes its not worth bragging about), I just wanted to show you that I have some material aspirations for myself as well. Who said it had to be either or? No matter what you think, we all depend on each other and this world would be much better off if more people cared and loved those around them. Sure it sounds corny, but I don't care, its true. I do not need validation from other people that I have purpose. As a matter of fact, I don't need to feel much of a purpose to be happy. I am what I am and I'm here for a reason and thats good enough for me to know. Helping people just makes me happy. I feel in my heart that I born to do it. It is a part of myself that I cannot seperate and I would never dream of it. If I feel it's part of what gives me a sense of meaning in life, who are you to say otherwise? You are not me and don't feel what I feel, as Aries-Chick said so well. If anything I feel all the healthier for being this way. I don't just take from the world, I give back.

Those that have inner peace and inner love cannot but help pass on this to others. Those who are angry and bitter do the same..........lets pray that we all attain peace and love

Aweasel: I see that you may be very evolved and maybe over my head somewhat. Please post more. I want to learn from you.

At last, somebody appreciates me.

Any second now, pidaua will appear and accuse you of being another one of my identities.

I agree Sue.

And okay A Weasel if you say so, but it sure sounded that way.. I get that you don't agree with a person validating themselves through helping others, but I think that is only a small group of people. I certainly wouldn't call them annoying for it either, I can think of MUCH more annoying ways to be. I just think you should apologize for being so insensitive about the way you said that. It seems in other posts that you can be a nice person, so what happened here? Did you not think that was offensive? Sometimes theres a fine line between honesty and just plain being rude.. Personally I feel you crossed it. Perhaps you should consider how your honesty affects others? Just a suggestion..

Sorry, though my name is SweetHeart, I'm not one to let a comment like that slip by, especially when I feel it was partially directed at me.

What did I say in particular that you feel was directed at you?

Man I'm already feeling the guilt for saying even that. I'm not cut out for carrying on conflictive debates. Call me weak or whatever you want, but call me when this is over.

A Weasel, I know you were being philisophical, but you were also hurtful. I hope you at least consider that. You know you would make a great traditional Psychiatrist/ Philosopher... who believe we help others only when they're externally rewarded and there really is no such thing as altruism. Well you have living proof in front of you of altruistic people. We do exist!

I was telling you off.. more or less, well not really.. But it did sound that way

I wasn't attacking though.. I'm still not attacking now. I don't have a problem with you but I completely disagree to what you said in this thread

I feel exactly the same way towards you.
I don't see, why of all things, it is offensive and insensitive of me to do it, but not of you.

only because what APC had said in the first place wasn't an opinion that you can agree/disagree with.. it was a fact "this is what I want to do for a living" - youthwork and yes it does come accross as insensitive when you make a put down type comment about something..someone actually wants to do and enjoys doing

anyways - it's over it's over now it's over it's my turn now it's over game shut down sorry

know that song? lol

I said...

"So I think one of my biggest purposes is to Love and protect others. To make people feel accepted and unthreatened in a sometimes very judgemental world."

And you said...

"Wow, if only you people knew how unbearably annoying the people, whose purpose in life is to "help other people" or "to love and nuorish" or somesuch other crap are to an independent observer... Ironically, they seem to be the very same people who perpetually can't seem to get their OWN sh!t together."

Your comment followed shortly after mine and a few others who mentioned the same thing. But you must have been referring to everyone but me, right?

Oh well you will probably never understand how some of feel when we say we Love to help others. It's obviously not one of your purposes in life and thats fine. I guess thats why we talk of purposes as if they are unique to us because not everyone feels the same way or was born with the same gifts. And yes I do feel it's one of my gifts. Maybe yours is philosophy or becoming well known and successful, mine is Love I can see you cringing now as you read this, haha.

*edited*

OKay I'm kicking myself off now to get some stuff done. Have fun you guys. Aries Chick, I know this thread is in good hands with you around. hehe.

Hi LSH!

I have a soft spot for you too. Your Moon must be close to my Sun. So glad to hear that last semester went really well! When I read your posts I think to myself, that girl is going places. Youre going to be very successful, I can feel it. Already are, I'm sure! Glad to hear that things are going well with you and Mr Virgo. I hope he knows what a lucky guy he is.

Also, I wanted to say that I admire the way you dont allow yourself to get pulled into the negativity that happens here sometimes.

Yes, still loving Osho! Speaking of him, I think it was cancerrg that asked me why I dont like MotherTheresa. I really dont want to take the thread that way or get into an argument, so, if you do a little googling on Osho and Mother Ther. you will find some of his thoughts on her. And they are very similar to my own. I had a link to a great article about it but cant find it.

Who brought up this thread? So saturnian....

Maybe we don't have any other purpose than to exist and multiply......what's wrong with the sheer bliss of existing?

And why do certain people have to be more "evolved" or "better" somehow than others because of a certain goal/philosophy? We are all just as evovled as anyone else, everyone has equal worth and contribution to this world!!
