You're not listening. It's not ideology, it's the law. I can't teach what you have written, it's not in the curriculum. And believe me, they enforce the curriculum fiercely. Ok, you are right. Every word you have said is right. So what? I'm not talking about ideas here, I'm talking about the real wo...

I've just noticed your earlier comments Richard. The answer to your question is yes, the word bull should be removed because it offends people. In fact, in my world, the world of training young and vulnerable people, it has been removed. In my world, my country, my profession, it is irrelevant what ...

Nice Richard, I like it. Opening me up to a whole new world of thinking. Let me go out on a limb here, just for varieties sake. Are we trying too hard? Are we over-complicating this with our analytical minds? Is the answer, in fact, simple? Dump your boyfriend, or let him watch the t.v. Do whatever ...

I agree quietvoice. I see this kind of discussion as a 'pick-and-mix'. We present our opinions and beliefs, but they can only be based on our life experiences. People can look at all the different beliefs and opinions, pick the ones which appeal to them and discard the others. I that sense, everyone...

Yes, quietvoice, it is. But in this case, it is a case of modifying your beliefs to suit another person's will. Which is perfectly acceptable in many cases and lots of people do it all the time. But if you do compromise your beliefs, you have to live with that decision and many people struggle with ...

Nope, I demonstrated no such thing. You posted your opinion on the young lady's post. I made no comment on your post. I posted my opinion and you replied that I was talking "Bull". Word to the wise; when you tell someone that their beliefs are "bull", you have pretty much lost an...

Really? Did I actually read those words? Expecting others to respect and not trivialize whatever you may believe is a recipe for disaster? Respecting and not trivializing what others believe is part of the job description where I come from! And focusing on what others should do is a prerequisite of ...

I don't see how changing your beliefs is going to help you resolve any low self-esteem issues you may have. If anything, surely that will make it worse? You are so unworthy, so unimportant, that your significant other isn't even willing to ditch a stupid TV program for you? Your beliefs are yours an...

Thank you for your encouragement Leo. I have read many books and articles on self-development and they were all great! I took a lot from all of them. But I have got to the stage where I feel I have been doing this long enough to know better. I have been telling myself "enough reading, start act...

I did some things that I'm not proud of when I first met my wife. She wanted me to change because I made her unhappy and miserable. I did change, beyond all recognition! And more than 35 years later, she loves me now more than she ever has. But don't ever think I changed for her. I didn't alter my b...

I recently decided that I was an angry person. I concluded I had been for the last five years, ever since I was made redundant from my job. My wife assures me I have been like it for the 35 years she has known me. She knows me better than anyone (including myself), so I'll go with her diagnosis. I'm...
