• Can anyone tell me why do we demonize our leaders, and glorify our entertainers?
  

  I think people were created to worship, and worship we will: that is my explanation for why we glorify our entertainers - it’s easy too, we think. They’re beautiful, they entertain us, they like us we like them.
  
  Our leaders we demonize because I think we are rebellious by nature, and do not want to be told what to do or how to do it.
  
  
  Now how do you distinguish between the leaders and the entertainers, though. It seems now adays they where both hats sometimes.

• I want babies.
  

  My Mom raised six kids with hardly any money. Kids don’t need money or a house they need love. The right time is when you really want them I think. Money comes and goes and a house can go, too. Love is forever.

• I am absolutely losing it.
  

  Thank you so much SArdoin, the words you’ve written - this is what I really needed to hear. I am very intuitive and I do feel deeply. It can feel like a curse sometimes and much of what you’ve written as your experience I’ve experienced too.
  
  I am learning this, that sometimes silence is the best response to abusive behavior but it is difficult!
  
  But growing up as I did, it is hard to truly believe in my core that it is not me - as those who want to violate you love to say that it is your fault they are doing so. I don’t have any true friends. Like an alcoholic, I distanced myself from those who were dysfunctional or negative and now I am trying to learn how to relate to people differently, people who are positive and emotionally healthy. I would like to think I only care about how I act (and I do, very deeply) but I do care about other people too.
  
  But thank you so much for your words. They have truly helped me immensely.

• How would you run things if you ran the country.
  

  Very simply, I would make people ACCOUNTABLE for their actions, for their words, for their behaviors. There would be a consequence for everything that is done whether good or bad. Not punishment but consequence. Meaning, if you steal you must restore what you’ve stole. If you gossip, you must promote a good cause. IF you lie you must take on a mission to make people more aware of the truth in some way. If you cheat you must donate of your time or money. If you dirty you must then clean. If you hurt another physically then you must care for someone who is hurt.
  
  I think this will raise the consciousness of society and allow us to tap into the humanity that is in us all but that has seemed to become desensitized by a world that glorifies violence and hostility.
