stop doing all the things you usually do, to not be bored. if you stop doing all the non-boring things together, you will no longer feel bored. of course you should fill the time with meaningful things instead, like doing some charity, working out, learning, praying, meeting real friends, etc, etc...
So one last thing... Do you believe in anything other than the material world? If you do for example believe that you might live on after death, then... you believe that you have a soul, and are not just a thing, that is there to be used by men, and to use men.
St. Thomas of Aquinas taught, that boys get their soul with 3 months and girls with 4 :joy:... He copied that from aristotle. But all of that is ofc nonesense. If you believe you live on after death, then you believe, that your soul does not need a single functioning brain cell to live. Ergo the baby also does not need a functioning brain to have a soul and be a full person. Which means the only moment that makes logical sense as to when the baby gets its soul is conception.
That is why every non-materialist who has thought this through is against abortion. And why they speak out for the innocent. If they judge and hate the mother, they do nothing good though, because who is against the mother is obviously also against her child. Protecting life means protecting the mother, giving her warmth, support, and actual real life help with the pregnancy and everything around it.
You might change your view of life one day, you are still very young. So if the pain over not having given the poor thing a chance ever emerges, then don't keep it to yourself. Those who really want to protect life, they will not judge you, they will receive you with open arms. Because they know, that it isn't easy. And many of them have actually aborted a child as well and realized their great error.
@gianna_16 said in I'm pregnant, need advice!:
@emilyyyyy it was a baby, you created a baby and you shouldn't be having sex if its to big of a responsibility to have a child because thats always a risk, you could've given it to someone who wasn't able to have a baby. Its your baby's life, so many girls have miscarriages that truly have been trying to get pregnant for sooo long, you took away a life that could've been what some people's ideal is to make a happy family.
I'm actually surprised to see so many people speak openly for the protection of life on a site like TWS... And I'm glad that most of them, are not actually using any harsh words at all.
@emilyyyyy You need to be aware, that people who tell you that abortion is murder, do not automatically judge you. I for one do not judge you, even though I too think it is killing (not murder). They are stating their believes and are trying to speak out for the one who has no voice yet. And usually they get a lot of hate for that...
Which brings me to another interesting thing about your thread: those who spoke out against abortion did not get any hatred either. This is a good sign I believe, that there is hope for our generation.
@emilyyyyy said in I'm pregnant, need advice!:
@John-Snow-007 tbh there are so many guys dming me telling me to abort that just dont want to get any hate on this thread lol
and yes i asked for opinions, that does not mean i need to do what u think is right
Your thread is really interesting!
I read this post of yours after scrolling through the whole thread... and not remembering any hate expressed against anyone who spoke out for abortion, I read the whole thing again. And really there was no hate expressed against any of the people who spoke for abortion. There were people abusing and trolling you, but they usually spoke out for abortion, if they sayed anything on the topic at all. So this warping of perception really intrigues me...
well, everyone gives what they have. twisted generation :shrug:. poor sobs...
@James-C-137 said in My shitty life in a nutshell:
@Vlad20 Dude seriously if u got absolutely nothing nice to say FUCK OFF!
Well he did give you destructively formulated constructive critique. So a humble person would simply say thank you and start using paragraphs and punctuation :yum:
You are not asking for advice about your story, you want it out there. And maybe you want to see how many people believe you. So I'll not give you what you don't want and I won't tell you wether I believe you either.
However I am curious why you would be praying every day to a God you do not believe in. Do you hope, He will make things easier? You know true faith is not so much about praying. It's about trusting. It's not about what you do, but about letting God guide you. This too requires humility. It requires you accepting the possibility, that your life actually has a meaning, a reason, an origin and a destination. And that this destination, despite life being very hard, is actually good.
@Masih said in My shitty life in a nutshell:
@James-C-137 If your words are correct, it is very tragic and weird enough due to so many unlikely events of death. These events of so-many deaths and tragedies remind me of the life of the most influential human ever in history.
What is the measure by which the person you think of is the most influential human ever in history? My measure is how many people, and cultures were influenced by a person's thoughts. And the undoubtably most influencial human being in all history by this criteria is Christ. And I don't think you have been thinking about Christ, because not that many tragedies befell Him...
Sorrow is just an emotion. So despite going through bad times, it is really possible for a person to be happy and not to be sad. You can do these things regularly to reduce negative emotions in your life and increase your well being:
- Regular physical exercise: Only 10-20 minutes a day is enough. Research shows that regular physical exercise can significantly decrease depression,fatigue and negative feelings and positively change the shape of the brain. Exercise also causes release of hormones that improve mood and increase well-being.
I suggest you to perform full body HIIT no equipment exercises with only 2 sets of 10 minutes every day. For example, one day: Full lower body workout(at most 10 minutes) at the dawn and ab-workout(at most 10 minutes) at noon. The next day: biceps and full back workout at dawn(at most 10 minutes) and push ups(for chest,shoulders and triceps) at noon(at most 10 minutes). And then like the first day… Keep on repeating this pattern regularly.

- Practising "mindfulness" everyday.
- Close your eyes
- Breathe normally
- Focus completely on the feelings of your breathing
- Count the complete breaths
- If your mind wanders, bring it back to the feelings of your breathing
- Continue
Researches show that this practice can significantly improve well-being,cognition and reduce negative emotions, depression. Brain-scans reveal that mindfulness reduce the activity of the right side of Amygdala(a part of brain),which is responsible for processing negative emotions and also decrease its size. Even only 10 minutes of mindfulness will can have a great impact.
I personally suggest you to practise 6-7 sets(or even more if you want) of mindfulness everyday; each set of 4-5 minutes only. Otherwise, it may get too boring.

- Religious belief and prayer: Research shows that religion and prayer activate the same reward-processing brain circuits as sex, drugs, and other addictive activities along with many other positive effects on the mind. Religious belief helps people to build resilience. It helps people to numb the pain of living in this world. The more organized a religion is, the better it is.
So I suggest you to join an organized world religion and pray regularly.
What you wrote is pretty smart and good advice. And it does not even need to feign insight into the suffering of others, what you said will just simply work!

@pe7erpark3r Good words m8
Thanks man... however if you think that... then what's the downvote for? :joy:
what do you take from a grown man, if you kill him?
what is it you really take?
his life?
what is "his life"?
if he had a happy and full life up until now, then this happy and full life, you cannot take from him.
it's in the past
and if not, then the past does not matter...
so what are you taking from him?
his family members – if he has a family – you will give pain, grieve
his friends too
for some time, depending on how much they liked him and how attached they were...
but you took something from them too
do you know what?
you took opportunity from them. all those opportunities of being together and loving each other.
that is what you took from him too!
you took all his chances to continue to live a full and happy life, to add more memories, to do more good
if he had a bad past, you took from him the chance to make up for his mistakes and errors
you take from him the opportunity to ammend for his errors, and convert, and do a lot of good
that is what you take from a grown man if you kill him
opportunity. the chance to live. the future.
you do not take the past
the present is but a fleeting moment anyways
no you are taking his future
and if you abort a baby
you do just the same
except that the baby already had much more future ahead of itself
even if it was not a full human being yet, it had so much potential.
it could have grown into a full human being, it could have done so much good
lets take a good example. do you know the actor Jack Nickolson?
he was almost aborted...
great man
what would have been taken if he had been aborted? all his chances to do all the things he did
the world would have been robbed of a great man
and with any abortion, I am sure there were good reasons why the mother considered it. there were certain problems, that could have been solved
thank God those problems were not solved!
heck steve jobs was almost aborted
no iphone... nope...
lol
not lol
you get me.
And also you should know that there are very capable and well funded organisations, that help with adoption and things like that. In the western world, if you just look, you are actually in warm and capable hands, if you wish to give your child a chance to live – without having to face all the consequences (of being a mother), except of the joi and pain of pregnancy. Seriously, if you want to give your child up for adoption, you don't have to worry. There are so many couples who would love to have a child, so many more, than there are childern up for adoption. So if you go that path, you certaly won't have any bad financial consequences...
First of all, take your time – in case there is no real reason not to. Don't fear something you haven't actually let close to yourself, whatever it is, pregnancy or even being a mother. You know, you might think one day: "he/she would be 3 years now" and you might be very sad, that you didn't give your child the chance to live. Point is, take your time, let the idea close, don't make an uninformed and un-thought-out choice. Just let it sink in. Look at the pros and cons, let them sink in too. Things might look scary one day, but once you've really taken your time to look at them from different angles, they might no longer do.
And be aware, that an abortion is dangerous too, in many aspects. I've heard quite a few people who aborted speak first hand, and they think the bad effects are real. I heard some too who have none, and they attest to that. I believe both sides, so I'm certain the risks are real, but you also have a good chance of little pain in the aftermath. This page gives a list of risks https://foundationsoflife.org/facts-about-abortion/risks-about-abortion/ (Disclaimer: I don't know that page, I just googled it...).
tws is like that. it's not your fault. also many people really are not capable of having true relationships/friendships anymore. and many do not take the relationships they make on a place like tws seriously. we are a sick generation honestly. not your fault this is anyways...
@baldshinobi The rest of the world doesn't like racist ideologues like you anymore. You're a thing of the past century. We – normal people – don't like to have to deal with the stupid american ideologies you are always so eager to shower the world with... So how about you stop posting your nonsense online and go outside and destroy your own country and your own neibourhood for the sake of skin color. Cause that's what racists do. Off you go.
@mikeJB said in ANY MUSLIMS HERE????????:
kindly tell me what the heck Eid al-Fitr is and why its all over my news feed? also tell me why you guys have to have a moon appear before you can celebrate? some Shawal moon????????????
I guess you don't know that christian easter falls on the first Sunday after the Full Moon date, based on mathematical calculations, that falls on or after March 21. If you knew that, you would not be asking with such disrespect about why other religions also time their festivities after the moon.
@nightshifter said in This is what happens when a black hole swallows a star:
Where do things go once they enter a black hole?
they stay there :joy:, that's why it gets heavier and heavier.
people are coming up with all kinds of strange dimension and time warping theories and whatever inside a black hole. But I personally am of the opinion that the mathematical theories we have (e.g. relativity) simply fail, because the edge case (black hole) is not covered by them. I simply think that matter is compressed in there like liquid. Nothing else happens. Boring, super-heavy black balls is what they are. However galaxies revolve around them, so that's a plus :joy:
@Futushimo said in Do you believe in "God"?:
Maybe now, you can all see, that WE SHOULD NOT TALK ABOUT RELIGION OR BELIEFS. Every person, every nation, every culture has something else to say. There are over 4000 diffirent religions, and every religion thinks - "mine is the best, so fu*k your religion".
If you're questioning yourself now, if I believe in "some god" - I personally don't believe in god. I believe in something, what can be proven, touched, seen or feel.
And neither of us all here, should say to somebody else - "you must believe in god (this, or another, or some other stuff)" Every person is different, every person has different aspects of life, faith, etc.
If you tell me, I must believe in god, and if I don't believe - I die? I will go to hell? Demons will get me? Or other stuff?
No. It's just the matter of personal matter
The whole point of science is to mouth thousands of opinions, and then experiment and discuss to figure out the right ones and get rid of the wrong ones.
The whole point of a functioning democracy is freedom of speech which means that every opinion should be voiced, so that we see all that's wrong with the current state of affairs, and a way forward. Again by discussing and figuring out what makes the most sense and what's wrong.
And indeed every human experience should be pronounced so we can figure out who we really are. And religious experience is just simply fact.
And in the same spirit of what I just said I agree with you, that none of us should say to others that they must believe this or that. None of us should think that they have the full truth, because none of us do, that's exactly why we need freedom of speech.
So, I'll give you a clear no, to "WE SHOULD NOT TALK ABOUT X", no matter what your reason is. And no, religion is not of personal matter. That is only your opinion. Who are you to tell me, that only what can be proven, touched, seen or felt should be talked about? Who are you to tell me what I should think and say? Nope sir, I'm certainly going to voice my opinion about the world, and I think we all should. I applaud you for voiceing yours, but suppressing any speech is evil. Period.
@Kshitij755 said in Do you believe in "God"?:
@Futushimo Well for me believing in god doesn't mean worshiping a statue,visiting temples etc.. that most of the people do .. for me god is a power and someone whom we can talk virtually and someone who know us more well than we do... someone to whom there is no need to lie.. I do show belief in god but through my heart not through visiting temples or burning candles.. It's my belief .. it must vary person to person.. IS there anyone else who has same thought as mine.?
I do share your view of God. And I also visit Him in his temples. However I also know that getting to know Him is a way, and we are all still far from realizing Who He is.
@Rissa_TheBest said in Do you believe in "God"?:
I do believe in god but I know im going to hell anyway so
We all deserve hell. And believing that God exists is useless, because faith is not believing that something exists. Faith is trust. We all are going to hell, and there is, for none of us – no matter how much good we do – a way around that, except one. The one you'll learn to trust, if you follow Him. You don't need to do anything, or be anything. Trusting is enough.
But don't listen to me, I'm just voiceing an opinion, you'll have to figure it out for yourself. Reading made me figure it out. (TLIG)
