Why Are Americans so obsessed with taxes?
Speaking for myself and many others I am obsessed with taxes because our money is being misappropriated and used for useless and negative things , such as paying for wars, The War on Drugs, Bank Bail outs and not for peoples needs like housing, hospitals schools etc In addition capital gains taxes are way to low and the rich are not paying enough taxes Inheritance taxes for income of 1 million or more should be taxed more. In addition sales taxes are unfair to the poor, because both pay the same amount. So I would scrap them and shift the collections to progressive income taxes Hope this help
What are the consequences of self awareness?
Q: What are the disadvantages of self-awareness?If you are talking about SELF-awareness, meaning one is awake to one’s own inner SELF — the source of one’s own creativity and intelligence — then the ‘disadvantages’ are several.One can never go back to the “ignorance is ‘bliss’” argument because SELF- ignorance will be gone for good. You discover that the SELF is the real source of bliss. The old argument was for the sake of solace in not having the bliss of the SELF.There are not so many in the world who can relate to what you are experiencing because most of the world will not have a clue what you are going through psychologically. The world may think YOU are deluded when the opposite is the reality. And if YOU don’t understand what is going on, it can be very confusing.It becomes more difficult to find others with knowledge about what you are going through psychologically because the “normal” has been left behind. One has entered the realm of the natural. Few live naturally whereas the norm is “normal.” You won’t seem so normal anymore.The more advanced one grows in higher states of consciousness, it can seem rather lonely without others also living higher states to relate. Much of the world is crazy people running around in fear over illusions that you come to recognize as such, but it’s hard to convince those caught up in their illusions and dreams that it’s such.You will come to think with your heart and feel with your mind. Conscience and humility meld with intellect and act as one. It becomes very painful to try to be mean, dishonest, greedy, crude, rude, arrogant, callous, criminal, small-minded, petty, and all other negative attitudes. This is because it will literally hurt the mind/heart relationship to do so whereas before you had less of a connection, even violated it freely.You will have to be more careful about what you tell others because people may recognize something special and begin to look up to you.One’s priorities change, becoming in tune with natural lawAs purity increases, it can attract more negativity. People have been crucified for not being careful.Magic tricks can be hilarious to watch.However, the disadvantages are far outweighed by the advantages of adaptability, stability, integration and 24 hour bliss. Certainly not deal-breakers.
Politics: Why does the term liberal have such a negative connotation?
Have you noticed how even liberals hate to call themselves liberal...it's like their ashamed of who they are...they can't come to grips that they believe the things they do. They don't even like their own policies when they are applied to themselves...look at all the liberals flocking from thier own over taxed states like cali and the northeast to the south..look at Detroit. It's amazing.
Why am i so obsessed with the military, especially the Army!?
You might be prone to the constant onslaught of military propaganda being poured over our society today ... movies, video games, commercials ... its everywhere. It might be a good idea to seek counseling and find a more positive outlet for your pent up energies.
Negatives of dating a bodybuilder?
Dated one for about six weeks. Negatives? Constantly at the gym. Never had the time to spend with me. Never wanted to hang out. Never wanted to make out. Never wanted to go to the movies, parties, bars or clubs. When he was home, he was busy on his Bow Flex and other odd balls. Would rather work out than have sex. Whenever we did have sex, I would have to do all the work. He was always admiring himself. Always asked how much I loved/worshipped his body and muscles. Very full of himself. I broke up with him because of what I listed above. Would I ever date another? No. Let me rephrase that... HELL NO.
What is the difference between selfishness and self-love?
Hi Moeeza,The difference between loving yourself and being selfish is very simply established.Loving yourself is when you create positive thoughts about yourself and those positive thoughts are also good for other people.Being selfish is when you create negative thoughts, they are good for yourself and bad for other people.A pure positive thought is a thought that is good for you AND good for all people in the world AND good for Nature. The ground rule of the Soul.As example:I think I am a lovely positive person and want to give love to others - it is good for me and good for others. = positive thoughtI think I am great and know more than others - it’s good/bad for me and bad for others. = negative thoughtI think I am great and have more than others - it is good for me and bad for others = negative thoughtI want to be good and don’t care about others - It is good for me and bad for others = negative thoughtI love being so smart and can make more and more money than others- it is good for you and not good for others. = negative thoughtOff course the intentions with the thoughts are very important. All people are equal, still with their thoughts they create differences.I am unsure = negative thought about yourself. I am sure = positive thought about yourself. I love myself = positive thoughtI want to help others = positive thoughtI don’t like myself = negative thoughtI need to punish the thief = negative thoughtI need revenge = negative thoughtI just lie a little = negative thoughtI just manipulate a little = negative thought. I am honest to myself and I am honest to others = positive thoughtI care about my family and others have to care for themselves = negative thought.I love my country and I don’t love that country = negative thoughtI will lie a little bit, to get that job, everyone does it = negative thoughtetc.Now you know why earth is so easily out of balance. Humans create much more negative thoughts, than positive thoughts.When you want to decide if something is positive for you or positive for others, imagine yourself someone pure positive like Jesus, what would he have said or done in that situation, than you always know exactly, what is positive and what is negative. It is simple. Mostly we are not aware that we always have this choice at every situation in life.Choose well what you want to think positive or negative?More questions, let me know.Thomas Francisco Pelgero
