The present is where I focus. Future is uncertain and, for me at least, focusing too much on it just has me ignore the moments we have in the present. It seems like people get so wrapped up in what could be that they don't pay attention to what is. Know what one of the biggest regrets dying people have in common? They regret not having had enough fun in life, being too worried and scared of other's approval or their own apprehensions to just go out and do what they want. Now sure there's a limit to how impulsive a person should act but at the end of the day you only get one shot at this for all you know. I enjoy the now more. The little moments in-between a long term relationship. Since adopting this attitude my relationships have lasted longer and they were less stressful when we broke up. I do a little boding. Sure it bums you out when it's over whether others let you go or if you had to let them go. But hey sometimes things don't work out. Use the free time to hit the gym more, go for a walk on a trail, take up a new interest. Let yourself be a little upset but also work to improve yourself from it. Take the lesson and then move on. I seek them out. It's fun and sitting around hoping they come to me isn't. "Oh please choose me" Damn that. I choose you!

I am in favour of science when its done with the intention of benefitting humankind as a whole. Anything done with the intention of being cruel is unacceptable. This is in the case of human and animal experimentation. In medical ethics, informed consent is key. (I'm a medical student and we studied this)

I used to wonder about that when I was younger. But it always seemed to be a blasphemous thought to question religious aspects and origins, so I was often suppressed in that sense. However, I did break out of it and spend time by myself (away from the coerced preachings of family) to really look into it, and it didnt make sense to me. I am quite passionate about science, but I often kept both these topics separate. However, I couldnt go about some scientific aspects without meeting some gridlock with religion; and in the end I just dismantled all of them to see which one made more sense. I naturally leaned towards science; it gave more 'way' and fluidity which was refreshing and even liberating. It's purpose was more pleasing (understanding our existence and aspects of our environment; wheres religion was mostly about serving a higher power. It seemed more to put us in a much lower place. ) Given that, history is extremely hard to validate because we as humans have an innate curiosity; but this curiosity cannot be sated with 'word of mouth' , especially not now. We must see it happen right before our eyes or have some substantial proof to support a claim. Most of the religious stories I was told was just word of mouth; books whose authorship cannot be verified; and statements and rules to follow that just seem like restrictions made by man. I am, however, fascinated by the idea of a single entity creating this state of existence that we dwell in today. But as of now, I do not have any substantial support for it. I do respect people who are religious anyway; because I prefer to see people as human; not as some man-made label of belief. If it comes down to it, I will protect both a christian and a muslim for instance; because I dont see them as a representative of a religion but rather as a representative of a species that ought to strive to survive. All religions appear to have some if not all, parts to it which advocate goodness in their own sense, so theres that. Oh well, to each their own. :)

I think it's pretty shallow minded to carry forward old beliefs all the way to this seemingly progressive age. Beliefs like women being inferior to man or the only established genders being Female and Male; they all create a prejudice within the society that will carry itself forward all the way to the future generations. In my opinion, neither gender has to be viewed as superior. Males have no right to abuse females, and the same goes for females. If we just defocus our identities all the way to the level of being "human" I think it would be easier to understand why as a species we are quite equal when it comes to deserving individual and free will.

What's funny is that everyone gets into it. I mean everyone that were not into pokemon cards or other stuff in the past.

I or anyone here can tell you that it will ve all right or that we're here for you, but if you haven't already, talk all this out with friends and family. Although, people here can help some, there's nothing like being able to hear and see. Also, even though I don't know you, I highly doubt you were raised to be a quitter. Got some muscle, I see. I'll bet that took a little work. Pain in life is kind of like that, it hurts, heals, hurts, heals, hurts...etc But, if you just give up, it will all be for nothing. Besides, if you have even one person who cares about you, be strong for them.:)
