Welcome to Gaia! ::

Your logic makes fractured sense, standing on it's own. However, you are looking at yourself in the lowest light: at your material fuel, and your material presence. And of course, you are much more than that. You have a chance to cause a positive impact much, much greater than your cost. If you see yourself as one in a numbers game, you wont win. Removing one from the mass of billions won't stop the billions to come; removal is not the answer. Its not powerful enough. What you can do, though, is use the more useful part of you: the spiritual side. (I know it is cliche) but you can make a difference. People wouldn't worry about the amount of food Mother Teresa used up... because she did so much more for people in need. Same with you: Don't feel guilty, just do something to make your life, and whats used up for you, a force to change the world, for the better, instead of another faceless consumer. I will tell you a secret... (I have connections >.>) Plants are happy about being used for a purpose, and being useful, even when eaten. ^ ^() It's ok to spend food... just not to waste it. Become an investment towards a better future, is all. Anyway... hope my speech helped at all.

so well put!

I don't know if anyone still reads this, and I cant say much about it anyway... but soon I'm going to get into a big conflict, I cant avoid. Its scaring the lights out of me, and I would wish I was in everyones thoughts, spells and hearts. thanks.

Strange... Atlantis is an interesting subject anytime. well, about half of it I sense and the other half, I've been told it is coming. Really scares me... and I dont scare easily.

My name is Vain, and I have a sleeping problem. I can hardly ever sleep. I am lucky if I get a full nights sleep once a month.

Books, Ideas, etc. I have that problem some nights too...

Have you tried Melatonin supplements? Melatonin is the hormone released in your brain that makes you sleepy. I tried taking it, but the 1mg knocked me out for a few days, and if I just took part of the pill it had no effect except make me groggy the next day. But I've heard it works for a lot of people, so maybe both of you might want to try it if you're too sick of not sleeping.
But yeah, I'd say you have a lot fighting you sleep, Vain. And really, if you think about it, your fear of dreams that come true is not really realistic. I mean, do you believe that if you had not had that dream about your friend dying, that he would have died at all? I think he would have. So, in my opinion, your dreams aren't really hurting anyone or anything, except maybe flipping you out a bit. The first time I had a dream about something, and it happened a few days later, I was completley freaked out. But then I realized that it was pretty awesome, so it never really affected my sleep. My main problem is the same as both of you, seemingly: I can't get my mind to shut up enough to relax. So yeah, we're in the same boat, there.

Yeah, I don't like pills, either. I've been on handfulls of them for years. And sleep meds are really something you do not want to be addicted to. So yeah, I understand.
