Heres a thought. Your name is ALOT like mine, people will get us confused.. therefor you should change it!
Thoughts about the list: Alot of people do atleast half the things on that list... including me.
1) Watch T.V. all day everyday - I am at work 40 hours a week in front of a computer. Then I go home and watch TV or play computer.
3) Never do any physical activities - Pretty much nothin...
5) Never eat any fruits or vegetables - I used to never eat any of them... but I am trying to like them more.
9) Indulge in your sexual desires freely - Everynight with my GF who I live with, although I dont see why this has to do with anything. Its about the only physical thing I do.
13)Always speak your mind freely - I dont think I should have to hold back what I am feeling.
Do you have any reasons why all of this is so bad? I mean sure most of it makes a person fat and lazy... but other than that?

why not change your name aries? after all arie was here first :P
the list, eh. let's see what i'm guilty of ^_^
4) Become narrow-minded
8) Become suspicious of everything and everyone (but only to a minor degree)
13)Always speak your mind freely (not always, but often enough :) )
16)Never stick up for yourself
wow, now many.

Ha ha! Number 3 and number 9 seem to negate each other, don't they?[;)][}:)]
Yea thats how I get my physical activities done. I am far to lazy to actually go for a jog or something.
-Aries
Oh you're right of course.
These are the best... No, i mean the worst[}:)] ways
Wanna get straight to hell? Here's your chance.
May shadows reach the light,

Yeh but whos posts have been more productive?
j/k
Might just be me but most of those are the average american person. except for like eating yellow snow....well actually you never know. I don't know might just be my opinion but my country has gotten way too lazy.
Here's the problem, I do almost all of those things, except maybe the part about physical exercise and its sending me around the twist. I think there is something abnormal about someone who is so perfect that they fail in none of those things. So what have we learned, maybe that we would rather be failures because being good will send us to the shrink's office. And don't you know it, your perfect, together therapist, probably is a bigger failure than you at that list.
Dude therapists are morons... I had one and he said I was completely sane. If he only knew.....

Thanks for all your thoughts everyone...much appreciated.
Wiggin...that's an interesting point... I didn't notice that when I wrote it. Of course you could look at all of them in the sense that if you go to one extreme of each rule you will cause pain.
Regarding the T.V. Wiggin... notice I said specifically "all day everyday," plus playing computer games or actually working on your computer is alot different then sitting passively infront of a television for hours and hours. It is in fact praiseworthy that you do have a job.
"Do you have any reasons why all of this is so bad? I mean sure most of it makes a person fat and lazy... but other than that?"
Well, you mentioned some nasty qualities that I have experienced before..."fat and lazy," haha. In my experience being lazy just makes me feel crappy and depressed if you know what I mean. Being overweight isn't great either. "but other than that?"
"13)Always speak your mind freely - I dont think I should have to hold back what I am feeling."
Ok. In my experience though...me telling other people fully what I thought about them or something has caused much sorrow.
You're making me think Wiggin...haha...that's a good thing. I'm reminded of a teaching from the Urantia book. "Information and intelligence gleaned from even high sources is only relatively complete, locally accurate and personally true."[:)]
How to mess up your life:
Judging others for what they do.
I like that fallnangel77, much more clever than what I was thinking about. I agree that many of the things in the list are things I try to avoid, but at the same time, I think we're all in the process of knowing our selves, and some of those steps aren't pretty, but I think they're necesary and perfect in a way that can't be understood, just known. How can you really appreciate the good without tasting the bad? Ben
Okay, I looked at the date on your post, and it's till the 13 over here. Just an observation. There are also ways to mess up other people's lives:
Become totally malicious
Become a genocidal dictator
Or, if both of those are two hard (being malicious takes willpower and a dictator needs a country, a plotical party, and loyal and bloodthirsty followers) ... just become the CEO of a major company
This has the added benefit of possible messing your life up to if you don't run away to the tropics before you're found out.[}:)]
Edit: Please excuse the typos in that post. (Poor basic motor skills)[;)]

Oh wait... that snow ISN'T banana flavored. Huh.
And by the way, findtruth, you can edit your posts using the Edit Reply button ((http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_edit_topic.gif)). That way the second post explaining the first isn't necessary (And consumes less server space! Yay!)
