Then, if he got the sexworkers to ride up and down the street on motorbikes once a year like they do in New Zealand, he’d have solved his menfolks’ blue-balls problems AND contributed to the tourist industry in the town as well!

They’d elect him premier for that sort of turnaround.

The way I see fate is not in the way that it will make life okay, but more that what I go through is for a reason and that I’m learning. And while I think that there is a certain path I’m following, I think that I divert my course with my own decisions, good or bad, and that I get off track and make a new way. So I’m still in control, just sometimes life puts things right in my lap for me, or give me hints when I’m on the right track.

I don’t trust anything to any god or hope that life will go easy on me because I’m intrinsically good, I just think that one day I will look back and go “Ahhh, thats why that happened.” or “That taught me a valid lesson.”

I’ve never understood the attraction to fate - what is it about it that makes people hope it exists? The idea that everything will be OK? I don’t think any “God” would find it necessary to plan our lives out, it would kind of beat the point. And wouldn’t you much rather be in control?

I don’t call myself an Atheist. I probably am one, but I just hate the idea of being labelled. I’m nothing. When it comes to religion, I’m nothing.

Then… wah… why not become a buddhist? An orthodox judaist? A zoroastrian? A belover of Moloch? Or Mar (-u) duk?

& what about Satan, btw? LOL

I don’t «know» you - and yet I think you already believe in yourself, although sometimes doubt still creeps in… That’s a good beginning. Keep things simple and take it easy.

You have an entire life to find nothing. Don’t start killing your head right now… And yes, sometimes drugs can help with… that.

But also with God and UFOS. Funny thing, drugs. Heh?

P.S. - If you are reading the «Inferno», then either some professor «asked» you(r class) to do so, or you are a veeeery patient girl. If the former, my prayers are with you. If the latter, read the full triptych. It can be rewarding.

Seriously though Surname, we are one planet in one solar system amongst a million billion kajillion other stars which could have heaps of planets circling them, it seems to be mere common sense to believe in other life.

Its not unusual for a male to reply to my post, I don’t write particularly for women, but I’ve gotten the feeling from some feedback that its usually more women than men that can relate (when I write dating posts).

I’m sorry to hear of your condition, or is it one of those things not to be sorry about, that you’ve grown into and accept? I’ve never heard of a condition like that actually, I may just research it one day. It seems to me like there should be non-codependent females, I’m actually a bit puzzled by this end of the comment.. lol!

I did go check out your other comment on ‘the art of manliness’ a curious site, which has intrigued me, and I see now how you could relate to my post so well. It does frustrate me how people assume you MUST date someone or you are not a proper person.

Thanks again for your comment and take care

I want to believe UFOs exist. They don’t. Shit happens.
