  • Why are middle class people so jealous of upper class people?

    Additional Details

    I could drag this question out into a full-blown essay, as I have years of experience under my belt in watching middle class people suffer in their middle class nightmares. But I'll only point to one example. Why do middle class people obsess over taking vacations? I mean, when middle class people take a vacation, they take millions of pictures and discuss the fact that they're actually on a vacation. And when they get back from the vacation, they don't shut up about the vacation. When I was growing up, we'd pack up and spend the summer months in the Bahamas (nothing too fancy but my parents have a bungalow down there). We didn't scream, "Oh, we're on a vacation! Let's take a million pictures to remind ourselves of it!" Nor did we treat the locals with disrespect as do many middle class people since it's there only opportunity to be the boss of someone else--similar to how they treat waiters in restaurants. Rich people actually treat waiters kindly. Middle class people abuse the power divide. Anyway, do middle class people just obsess over how they feel like 'royalty' for that one week? Is that what it is? Are they so frustrated with their class status that they worship the idea of not being enslaved for that one week every year? You guys have to know what I'm talking about. So why are they so obsessed with vacations?

  • What should i do about my lying friend?

    Friends - 7 hours ago

    So for a little while she has been off with me, i asked her if anything was wrong and she said there wasn't and that she has just been tired lately because of her new job. I also asked a friend who we are both friends with and she told me i was just being sensitive and she is quiet anyway. We were meant to be meeting this morning and i texted her to make sure it was still on, and she said no sorry im working. So i take it she wouldnt of even told me she wasnt going to turn up. Then i see she is on msn and she signed out quite quickly. I haven't done anything, i'm not bitchy and i am nice to her, so what is her problem? She doesn't admit to anything so i dont think talking to her about it would help. Should i just not bother with her? But i don't understand why she is acting like this towards me? I feel like she doesn't like me anymore.
  • Is it possible to truly love someone and like somebody else?

    Marriage & Divorce - 7 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I just saw a question where people were saying that if you were in love and caught feelings for someone else, then you are not in love... I just don't think that I can agree with that. Love doesn't make you invincible from those feelings. It's all about control to me. Sometimes I think the second person is probably just a filler for all of the things that your love is missing. If you truly are in love, then that is where the communication has to come in, and you have to think about what it is that this second person is showing you that the first is not. What are your opinions?

Your family can change the world: And there's no better week to get started

Posted Tue, Nov 13, 2007
POST A COMMENT »

One of the things I love most about the Internet is the speed and ease with which it connects large numbers of people with potentially world-changing ideas. Someone comes up with a great idea for making change and that idea goes viral. Within a matter of minutes everyone is talking about and coming up with fabulous variations on that initial theme. That's what the Internet does best.

Consider for example the numerous kind acts that have been inspired by one simple concept: COIN-SPIRACY. Participants who want to be part of COIN-SPIRACY are asked to commit three acts of kindness: one for self (which can apply to an individual or an organization); one for the environment; and one for another. COIN-SPIRACY participants have invested 282,383 hours in community service and raised $270,143 for their local communities as well as communities in more than 45 countries around the world. There have also been spin-off benefits for the schools themselves: a drop in the number of bullying incidents and school bus suspensions; increased rates of reading and physical activity; and greener school communities.

Of course, you can hardly talk kindness without mentioning the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation and all the fun and inspiring resources they provide to parents, teachers and kids who want to drown out the taunts of the bullies with the message that kindness is cool.

One last thing. November 13 is World Kindness Day and November 12 to November 18 is World Kindness Week. So if you were looking for an excuse to up the kindness factor in your life — or to re-emphasize the importance of kindness to your kids — there's never been a better time.

Now over to you. Do you regularly practise acts of kindness? Have you ever been on the receiving end of an act of kindness from a stranger? Do you think we need to do a better job of teaching kids kindness — or acting with kindness ourselves?
