But along the way I figured it all out and now try very hard to treat others with dignity and respect. How can you expect from others what you are not willing to give yourself? But it is quite easy in the dog eat dog mindframe of many in these times to become imbittered and to react to bad people in negative ways. BUT I refuse to lower my personal standards and I can only control myself and my own actions. And hopefully it sets an example for some. BUT it does make me a happier and more tranquil person personally. Maybe that is my reward. Randome acts of kindness are a wonderful for good karma......all goes back to BASICS in any ideology.....GOOD BREEDS GOOD! bab breeds bads. Most often that is.....but.....bad things do happen to "GOOD PEOPLE" but far less often. ![]() |

A good self image is very important INDEED! But unfortunately many....many children are born in situations where the parents or parent are inept, uneducated, incompetant, or unable due to organic disease are not able to teach children how to have a good self image. That is a major reason for America being a "Prozac Nation"
early nurturing and role models are essential to a positive outcome in this area. But those born into unfortunate circumstances....whi ch is very widespread actually.....they have to seek counciling and learn how to have a good self esteem and self image. It can be done fortunately. BUT NEVER in my personal life have I observed that doing bad things and victimizing others would do something positive for the perp. But I am lucky to have an advanced degree in a medical profession....so having studied psych extensively and observing many normal and abnormal humans I have an advantage of looking at it abstactly also......and this helped me solidify my personal philosiphy on self accountability. Hope this is not boring you as I apologise about drifting off topic.....but really good weed cause that to happen.....LOL. |

SEEMS SO! .....but an unpopular stance in my part of the world.....the "Bible Belt" of the American south. Took me years to erase those teachings from my brain that teaches "guilt" to maintain CONTROL! now I am free to smoke weed without hassle.....except for my damn government! Religion is also the reason there is so many frigid women....GUILT IS POWERFUL! Don't go to church lookin' for hot women! LOL! God hates orgasmic women it seems!
FREE AT LAST! And hopefully we legalize mmj soon. |

ya know you are a pretty smart fellow and you have it right. One needs a good self image without being self absorbed. But don't you agree that you have to be your own best friend? That is where I am at this stage of my life. Until very recent I have been absorbed in caring for others in career and family. Now am learning to care more about myself and enjoy my last years at peace.
Damn I am way off subject....but you are very deep and interesting to read. I am looking for a weed forum with intellectual stoners hopefully if possible. |

![]() I've been trained to use these Escrima sticks proficiently by a highly respected, Dan Insanto trained instructor. i'm also handy with a blade and in hand to hand combat. I keep the sticks in my room along with a louieville slugger with some blood stains on it. I never thought that I would have to defend myself in my house, but friends of mine got held up at knife point for their drugs in their 4th floor appartment not that long ago and so i've started to find myself locking doors when i never used to and thinnking up defendable positions, escape routes, etc.

So I was just really dramatizing it for sport. I assume this is a liberal weed board and not all are MENSA......but I have met MENSA on a weed forum actually. |

I too live deep in the bible belt-music city usa- and boy I wish you could talk to my girlfriend-both a guilt-ridden cannabis user and love-maker-all from this church lying under a guise of love for all. blah-i digress you sound familiar-but blah. I just wish more women could live without the guilt if that makes any sense

Now I'm living in the Bible Belt & the Baptists are the worst for being 2-faced. When I 1st arrived here in 1983, I tended bar in a restaurant for awhile. The Baptists would come in for dinner & 1 by 1, they'd stop into the bar & ask for a quick shot of whiskey...hiding it from the others. Funny thing was, they were all hiding it from 1 another. And I've been waiting for Legalization ever since States started decriminalizing in 1974. I swore by 1980, we'd be buying it in liquor stores. Man, was I way off!! ![]()
