The reason only it gives Problems,because we expect it to work the way we want to,and when it does not,we call it a problem.How when some one,somebody expects something from you and you cannot give them or you just neglect,you simply think its not in your capacity...so the person may simply think your a problem no w apply this same to bigger picture i.e the world

I try to. It's possible because a lot of people do it. I am afraid of being picked on, teased or made fun of sometimes by decisions I would like to make. In a way I am controlled by what others think or say. I'm afraid of being called a stalker, chaser, desperate by people I don't even talk to. Fear is immobilizing and I wish I didn't give a darn. Sometimes I don't . A lot of times I do. Afraid of getting my feelings hurt by some arrogant prick. What do ya do !!?

1) As soon as I open the bedroom door, my dog is greeting me.
He's standing and twirling in the narrow hallway with a grin on his face and his tail is loudly banging on the walls.
Okay, that may sound selfish because it only pleases me (and my dog).
But then again, just about ANY dog owner could experience the same joy, if ONLY they choose to let their dog be part of the family, rather than leaving it outside alone.

2) A dictator getting struck by lightening.
Ideally, one would never become a dictator, but unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world.

They were proponents of the "age of reason" (instead of romanticism) and individual rights. Paine brought those philosophies into a drive for liberal individualism and an overthrow of political elitism.

PS: Thanks to the invasion of more hordes from romantic style cultures what remains of the age of reason is dying in western Euro-cultures. Sentimentality is replacing it.

For decades I studied philosophies, cultures, and social institutions. I began that because of confusion resulting from my military experience under the shadow of neo-Marxist anti-military and anti-capitalism indoctrination in the universities.

I continue a forty year quest looking for some truth in the pile of stinking crap a wide variety of bigots made by blaming people or practices they don't like while excusing people or practices they do like regardless of where the fault really lies.

True? No one can answer, impossible to prove or disprove (the whole world is too large of a sample.)

But - I believe in karma on many levels. I won't bore you with all of them, just the one that might apply since you seem to be a non-believer.

From a logical standpoint, if someone is constantly mean - they will (eventually) be repaid in meanness. If someone consistently does bad things, then people will treat them badly (or at least cautiously.) If someone is good to people, they will generally be treated well.

Now - how do you explain really nice people that have a sucky life for their whole life? The woman who lives in the ghetto, working 2 jobs to feed her 3 kids, and then a random drive-by shooting takes one of her kids, and she loses another to an overdose, and her third ends up in jail. Can't explain that, I have to ask God about all that when I die in about 50 years.

What is your criteria on being mentally disturbed? We all have our own unique ways in perceiving, interpretting and dealing with reality. How can one be mentally disturbed?

But of course, it is very disturbing that society makes people with the brightest ideas believe something is wrong with them.
