Without wanting to deviate from the thread...I feel like I should add that maybe you should not put so much faith in god but more faith in yourself? If there is a god, did he not give you all the faculties you need to persevere and realise? It is all very well to prey, but what could be of more use is to plan and seek and actualise rather than hopeing god will do it for you, or others. It irks me somewhat that so many prey for salvation - either for others or themselves, yet make much less effort toward actually doing something practical about their situation or the situation of others.

The extreme form of this sentiment is 'The secret', whereby in essense, it is claimed that all the poor and starving, or crippled of the world are that way because they 'desired it' - so the universe gave them what they wanted. A 'cult' like philosophy indeed and quite deluded in its design.

I recall a prior thread where you spoke of much difficulties Stoney. It is difficult to know what to say other than just persevere and let time take its course. Changes will always occur no matter what and while you may be suffering now, tommorow will always be a new day...step by step. Shit happens and then it dries up and blows away or is used on crops. It may be some use for you to appreciate what you do have even if so much has fallen around you for the time being. Hugs and good luck. If you ever need to talk, pm.
