Can money give you happiness?
The answer is yes. For all the people who are impoverished to the point where they don’t even have clean water to drink. Money can purchase new homes, a system to extract clean water, an irrigation system to enable crops to grow, education, better living conditions etc. Because of all of these, littRead more
The answer is yes. For all the people who are impoverished to the point where they don’t even have clean water to drink. Money can purchase new homes, a system to extract clean water, an irrigation system to enable crops to grow, education, better living conditions etc. Because of all of these, little children won’t have to resort to joining the local militia in order to simply survive, since their home will be able to meet all of their survival needs. Not having enough food to eat, clean water to drink and being forced to kill family members by local militia is a bleak and miserable existence. This is the existence that one billion people world wide live in. Money brings hope. It brings change. It means that the essential needs that we take for granted could one day become universal. All we have to do is distribute it better.
See lessOkay. But there is a limit to how much happiness money can bring. Well that is more of a psychological question. Money can help you meet all of your survival needs. What is having lots of money, if you are lonely, isolated and hated by everyone? What is having all the luxuries in life if not one thing can make you happy? In which case, money isn’t the problem. Money is not making anyone unhappy. That is a complicated psychological issue that has been discussed at great lengths by philosophers, religious scholars and social scientists.
How do I unlock my jammed door?
I would suggest you get a regular bedroom lock. They don’t have a key, and it’s easy to pick. It comes with a tool to open if locked and you can’t get in. The usual place to keep this tool is directly above the outside of the door on top of the door trim. You can also use a cabinet drawer that is usRead more
I would suggest you get a regular bedroom lock. They don’t have a key, and it’s easy to pick. It comes with a tool to open if locked and you can’t get in. The usual place to keep this tool is directly above the outside of the door on top of the door trim. You can also use a cabinet drawer that is used for odds and ends. There’s a little tiny hole in the center of the knob. Just insert the tool in the hole and push the tool inward and at the same time turn the knob and the door will open. If you’ve lost the tool you can use any type of stiff wire small enough to fit inside the tiny hole. Such as a straightened out safety pin, an awl, ice pick, maybe a coat hanger.

If you need to make a decision that you think they won't agree with, just don't tell them. They don't have to know. You can try being responsible with money and your own hobbies in this fashion. I had a habit of telling my parents everything to get them to acknowledge I was being responsible, but IRead more
If you need to make a decision that you think they won’t agree with, just don’t tell them. They don’t have to know. You can try being responsible with money and your own hobbies in this fashion. I had a habit of telling my parents everything to get them to acknowledge I was being responsible, but I wasn’t getting the positive feedback I’d expected, so I just stopped telling them.
See lessAs long as your actions aren’t affecting your parents negatively, don’t be afraid to go out on your own sometimes. I don’t mean for you to use this as an excuse to make poor decisions, but if you’re simply looking for more autonomy and ways to be responsible for your own life, just go for it.
Do blind people have visuals in their dreams?
I imagine it would have to depend on whether you were born blind or if you had your sight and then lost it. If you have always been blind and your perception of reality is based on your other senses, I'd think that your dreams don't involve sight. The dreams will most likely be similar to how you exRead more
I imagine it would have to depend on whether you were born blind or if you had your sight and then lost it. If you have always been blind and your perception of reality is based on your other senses, I’d think that your dreams don’t involve sight. The dreams will most likely be similar to how you experience the world on a daily basis. If you once could see but now are blind then I’d imagine that you’ll still experience dreams where you could see, due to memories and experience of sight previously. You’ll probably have dreams where you can’t see also, since it’s your new reality.
See lessAfter all this speculation and guessing, I figured that asking a blind person would be the most logical way to find out!
Something I thought of while answering this… what if someone who was born blind, not the type of blind where you can still see shadows, shades of light, dulled colours and shapes, but the type of blind that is just blackness like when you close your eyes in an already dark room…so, what if someone who only knows the world based on their other senses, can actually see how we see also in their own dreams?
