What is different between positive and negative?

What is a REALLY good book?

Question

What is a REALLY good book?
I love reading amp some of the books ive liked are

Answer

. The Silmarillion Dr. Tolkien called this his quotmost important workquot and spent most of his life working on it. The first section, when the characters are introduced and fleshed out has a bit of a history book feel do not let that stop you! The story is so touching that it twists your insides around and wrenches your heart out, and the language is just beautiful. It provides a much deeper understanding of the events and mythology in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. It is my favorite novel.brbr. J.R.R. Tolkien Boxed Set The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Top of its genre DUHbrbr. RiddleMaster Absolutely amazing characterisation. Very original and engaging story line. A slightly weak ending, but wonderful besides thatbrbr. The Chronicles of Narnia I reread these as an adult, and they are even better than they were as a child! I can not emphasize just how good these are! My favorite was the Last Battle!!brbr. A Wizard of Earthsea The Earthsea Cycle, Book and The Tombs of Atuan The Earthsea Cycle, Book were excellent! The Farthest Shore The Earthsea Cycle, Book is ok, but the ending is a real disappointment, and the others past that I recommend avoiding like the plague. Also, the SciFi Channel movie is TERRIBLE!brbr. Homeland The Dark Elf Trilogy, Part Forgotten Realms The Legend of Drizzt, Book I Bk. and Exile Part Forgotten Realms The Legend of Drizzt, Book II absolutely stunned me. Sojourn The Dark Elf Trilogy, Part Forgotten Realms The Legend of Drizzt, Book III, is much weaker. The other quot Drizztquot books are not even in the same class at all and get extremely repetative.brbr. The Riftwar Saga was exceptional most of the time. Great characters and story!! The biggest weakness was in the last two books where one character is made into a know it all for almost any problem. He doesnt destroy the books though. Highly recommended! Magician Apprentice Riftwar Saga and Magician Master Riftwar Saga, Book are absolutely amazing, Silverthorn Riftwar Saga, Volume is somewhat weak, and A Darkness at Sethanon Volume IV in the Riftwar Saga gives a nice strong ending.brbr. The Belgariad, Vol. Books Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magicians Gambit amp The Belgariad, Vol. Books amp Castle of Wizardry, Enchanters End Gameis an excellent series by David Eddings. I specifically recommend against reading any of his further series, as he tends to plagerize himself, using the same ideas and plot lines. As for these two books, they are very original and powerful the only weakness is that he seems to have a problem with writing women characters. They all are bad tempered and snippy and so forth. But it doesnt ruin the series.

Do you think we fall in love with people that reflect our own deepest values?

Question

Do you think we fall in love with people that reflect our own deepest values?

Answer

Not necessarily. It would be too preplanned. Not so much like quotfalling in love.quot I think we women fall in love with people who remind us of our fathers, step fathers or mothers lovers. They arent always the best. But sometimes we do wise up and make good choices.

Do you think unconditional love is possible?

Question

Do you think unconditional love is possible?
Or that it exists? I mean, love with no limitations. A love so strong that no matter what a person did, it wouldnt make you love them any less?

Answer

I dont believe love is unconditional. Even the strongest love changes depending on internalexternal circumstances. What is ever unconditional?Ive never come across the unconditional in human affairs, and even Gods love is conditional e.g., the Christian god will turn his back to you if you willingly reject himclassic attachment theory! hehebrbrYes, these are unspoken conditionsquotdont cheat on me love me back dont abandon me share my values and lifestyle be someone I can respect.quot Would you unconditionally love a person who cheats on you, disrespects you, physically or psychologically harms you or the peoplethings you love? You see, love is contingent on many important, foundational things. Its not that youre not capable of such extraordinary loveyou love people like that at specific points in time, but it doesnt exist forever love is tempered by maturity and context. I think love needs to be conditional, because love needs to adapt, just as we do. Otherwise, its not love but illusion not love but delusion not love but idealismunrealism. If its healthy love, it will have appropriate limits and necessities. brbrNow I realize that in this instance, love is really a euphamism. Were really talking about humans here, and whether humans are unconditionalabsolute. At times we behave unconditionally or absolutely love unconditionally or absolutely, but we inevitably change and so our love changes. In other words, no

Do you think this statement is true?

Question

Do you think this statement is true?
It doesnt matter how you judge people as long as its consistent with how you judge yourself.

Answer

No, its not true. Some judgements will have serious effects even if one is consistent. For example, consider rascists who are determined that members of whatever the chosen quotout groupquot should not be allowed to live. It is perfectly consistent, but morally indefensible, for them to judge others and act of that standard of judgement.

Do you think the world would be a better place if more people thought and behaved as you do?

Question

Do you think the world would be a better place if more people thought and behaved as you do?

Answer

Absolutely not. We are just humans after all we all make mistakes. It would probably be cleaner and quotmotherlyquot but not necessarily better. The world would be better if we all gave what we want to receive. I know it sounds cliche but think about it if we want to be treated with respect, compassion, love etc. Then we should give it out. Its like my grandmother always told me quotyou will always harvest what you plantquot.brWell thats just my opinion.brblessed be
