      I think it is more because English is kind of hard. Unlike some other languages, in English how it is written is not how it sounds.

      Peace Jankren,

      Yep, English is not an easy language, but I still feel that it does not excuse the fact that illiteracy levels are so high, our governments our simply not doing their job properly.

      But English is an International language which makes it really useful, even if you just grasp the basics.

      Just curious, how many languages do you know?

      Peace Angel,

      I have a question, and truly, I ask this out of curiousity (not animosity). I also ask this, because I'm not sure if I can answer it the way I want to if it happened to me.Would you still be grateful, if you (God forbid) got a disability?

      I would like say - Ofcourse! Definitely!... but I'm not sure I can say that honestly 100%, because I'm not disabled.

      peace

      Peace Zenje,

      Living with a disability is (obviously) very difficult to live with, and being dependent on others is disheartening, but I do have a very supportive family which is something to be grateful for.

      Even if I do have a disability it does not change the fact that I have a lot to be grateful for. I know it sound?s crass but the victim-mentality feels like a form of self-abuse, it is difficult to transcend the victim mentality but having it won?t do anyone any favors?.

      But I guess it?s the type of disability and/or the severity of it, is what needs to be taken into consideration.

      Even people with disabilities can still enjoy life.

      It?s mainly your attitude to life that is more important then what actually happens to you.

      Psychologists say that a person can get used to anything no matter how horrible, no matter how punishing and no matter how grotesque, you can eventually psychologically adjust/accept the situation, even if it takes a very long time.

      Having said that I don?t have a problem against people with disabilities opting for Euthanasia or if a woman wants an abortion because the fetus is abnormal ~ which makes me a hypocrite really. -X

          Peace Angel and thanks for your answer.

          Even if I do have a disability it does not change the fact that I have a lot to be grateful for.
          I agree 100% with you. I just hope and pray that I keep this in mind if I ever become physically disabled.

          peace

              I am grateful for people like Princess Diana, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr, etc. who made the world a better place.

              I am grateful to people like Anna Politkovskaya, Rachel Corrie, and all the other people who lost their lives for exposing severe human rights violations.

              I am also grateful to all the inventors who have made a massive difference to our world. Especially for the person who invented the toilet, I can?t bear to imagine what life would be like if we didn?t have 'em lol.

                  1618 And if you count the blessings of God you will not be able to fathom them. God is Forgiving, Merciful.

                  1006 Surely, the human being is ungrateful to his Lord.

                  1007 He will indeed bear witness to this.

                    Peace,

                    It's better with a toilet you don't have to sit on with your butt, think of all nasty bacterias on the seat. I like the toilets in Asia it was a hole in the ground LOL and a water hose to clean you with.

                    Peace

                      Actually your chopping board has more germs then your toilet!

                      And I am not joking either.
