I have been poor and miserable, sometimes I would go to sleep and pray asking God to put food int he canisters and wake up the next morning with that burning face in my heart to go see the canisters and they were empty, but God rewarded my faith and persevearence and today I live a healthy happy life and I have enough money to fill my canisters and every morning when I wake up they are full with all that I want and all that I have God to thank for, so to answer you questions, I would rather be rich and happy because no one wants to have to pray for food and no one wants to see the look in a childs eyes as heshe is hungry and starving! brI would rather ber what I am living well, making enough money to live, pay my bills and be happy.

Would you rather be rich and alone or poor and with the love of you life and why?

Question

Would you rather be rich and alone or poor and with the love of you life and why?

Answer

currently, I am extremely poor and also very alone and have been that way for about years so I feel that I can answer the question fairly. I would rather be rich and alone because money provides a type of power and freedom to pursue the life you want to live. For example,with money you can eat healthier and gain all the benefits of proper nutrition which will help your overall general mental, emotional, spiritual and physical dispositon and in turn make you a better potential partner. You can use your money to better yourself by becoming educated or doing the things you feel most connected to with out worrying about the car getting repoed or some other finacial stress. With money there is a freedom of time and choice that doesnt exist for the poor. The poor work very hard, trust me I know, to have the basics like a roof over their head, a little food on the table, transportation and very few other things. Maintaining a relationship requires a lot more than money, but having money makes it easier for the other things to be had. If the love of your life has a birthday and you cant afford to buy them what you want to and have to settle for something else, how does that make you feel? The story of the gift of the magi is charming and moving, but I dont want to live that way. The reoccuring theme of my post is that it is better to seek to be the right person than be with the right person and so I am seeking to be the right person and see having money as an asset and having a relationship without it is more of a liability. When you are the right person it is much more realistic that your partner will be the right person as well, and the same holds true if youre not the right person. I have thought about what how I could or would make a good husband and I have several ideas, but two important ideas not the only ideas, but for the sake of this post are protection and provision which require resources and are subcategories of security. Summing up, I am poor and alone. I would rather conquor the money problems first and then pursue the love of my life if such a thing exists.

Would you rather be AWAKE or ASLEEP when the WORLD ENDS?

Question

Would you rather be AWAKE or ASLEEP when the WORLD ENDS?

Answer

WHEN the world Ends?! Do you know something youre not telling us?brbrOf course all things in this material universe will one day come to an end... but according to scientist we have about billion years before our Sun turns into a Red Giant and wipes out our atmosphere... since we humans have that much warning hopefully we will have found a new home by then. I havent heard any legitimate reports of any space objects heading this way to destroy us either, and dont believe quotaliensquot would have any interest in us if they existed. So that rules out most of the SiFimovie versions of our potential destruction...brbrTheres the chance we could destroy it ourselves with nuclear weapons... but whos crazy enough to do that? whos crazy enough to invent such weapons in the first place, oops! guess thats a possibility. Global warming wont end the world... possibly life as we know it... but the world will continue and adapt, and so will we if we are going to survive it or hopefully stop it. brbrThen there are the religious theories of the End of the World... the Christian version talks about Fire al lot ouch! But there is a great series of events that are to take place before the actual END so it wont be a big surprise. brbrI have no reason to believe any of these things would happen in my life time, but IF I happened to be alive at the END of the WORLD I would rather be ASLEEP. I can not stand to watch others suffer, nor would I want to be aware of my own demise.brbrDo you know when this will happen? Please give me a heads up so I can be sure to be comfy under my covers.... Or depending on what would be causing this END and how much warning we have perhaps we should begin building an Arc and loading up? brbrBTW If you have access to that Red Button, DO NOT PUSH IT! Thanks the World appreciates it. PEACE

Would you like to have immortality?

Question

Would you like to have immortality?
I would like to have immortality but not in the sense that I would live forever, but in the sense that my name, my work and my acheivments would be remembered for hundreds and thousands of years and would inspire future generations.

Answer

You are ambitious..I am glad u did not use the true sense of immortality as in never dying in teh physical sense.brbrBut yes, you sound like an individual who is really determined....and why do i think that ? because you compared yourself with literature, science, and art....shakespeare, newton, and vinci ..but then if you do have to reach immortality, you will have to choose between shakespeare, newton or vinci, because you cannot be all of the three together.....focus, and be strong, and yes, you will reach immortality...wihtout being shakespeare, newton or vinci, u will be someone so different...and perhaps we can add in ur name there...brgood luck

Would you ever get rid of a book?

Question

Would you ever get rid of a book?
We are drowning in books. I only live in a semi and Ive already got a bookcase in every room including the bedrooms. The problem is my Husband WILLNOT get rid of one for any new ones that come in. I mean charity shop btw Can any other fellow book lovers suggest any solutions?

Answer

I also love books.brbrI have tossed a few, over the years, that were too dilapidated to be of use.brbrI only get a few of my books in hardcover. Those are the ones that I will be using over again, such as reference books. My wife knows that if its hardcover, she cant get rid of it or loan it out.brbrMy hundreds of paperbacks are shared with my friends. I also trade them at the used book stores. I have donated some to the senior citizens apts. and convalescent homes.brbrI would suggest this solution. Use one bookcase for reference books and books that you know you will be using again or rereading.brbrThen, tell husband he can have another bookcase to store the books that he feels he absolutely cant part with. Everything else in the other cases is up for grabs and will be continually recycled.. Every book you hoard is a book someone else didnt get to read.brbrMy wife got me a box of the type of books I like , from a yard sale on Saturday. As soon as I finish this answer, I have to sort books to make room. Its an ongoing process.

Poll Readers, what was the last book you purchased?

Question

Poll Readers, what was the last book you purchased?
I just purchased a British book , Years of Annoying the French P.

Answer

I purchased quotSir Gawain and the Green Knightquot Norton Critical Editions, largely for the annotations and critical essays the series is noted for. I havent had the time to begin it however, because I am under contract to write five reference titles for my publisher, and my leisure time is either spent here or updating my knowledge of particle physics. The latter has made me aware that I have lost my touch with calculating ClebschGordan coefficients, so i have pulled out the old textbooks and quotgotten medieval.quot And speaking of medieval, may I most heartily suggest Mary Carrutherss quotThe Book of Memory A Study of Memory in Medieval Culturequot Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature, which I found engrossing. There are some excellent monographs on Chaucer I am eying, but the price puts me off perhaps after Ive completed my own books and the money begins rolling in again...

Please rate my poem?

Question

Please rate my poem?
I like you so much

Answer

The only way I could rate this would be to compare it against others I have read from you. This does not compare to what I have seen come from your mind. I see the thought, but the idea being conveyed by the message is lost through the approach. To me, this looks like you jotted down some ideas so that you could write a poem. This is not the finished product. I know that you can be deep and that you can have some very serious emotions. Oh yes, I do remember a few early Sunday mornings where I sat and blinked at the monitor as my expectations had been turned upside down due to some very heavy thinking.brSo I rate this as the beginnings to a poem about love. Question is, will you finish it, or is it just an exercise for you? Either way, no matter what it servesserved your purpose I believe.

Please name the best book which you have ever read? the book which has made an impact in your life?

Question

Please name the best book which you have ever read? the book which has made an impact in your life?

Answer

A Child Called It. Ive only read this book twice in my life and cried both times. I just feel so bad for all those children being abused everyday. It meakes me want to do something to stop it. In fact, Ive decided that I want to have two children naturally someday and if I want any more children after that, I would consider adoption. Adopting abused children has popped into my mind from time to time.
