I believe that this is the kind of man we mothers should be raising.

Dr. Firouz Naderi, who landed things on Mars for us recently and does something else that he considers much more important. Please take 9 minutes to watch his video..... Sign in to see full entry.

Doctors believe that compassion and empathy can be taught.

They isolated the 'insula' in the brain and it glows on their little monitor screens when someone is doing, being, thinking compassion. They can transfer a love of their daughter and all the empathy that this entails and learn to feel it for a stranger, just by practicing making their little... Sign in to see full entry.

I didn't follow my old padre at our church 100%, nor blindly.

I believe that Obama has his own brain and uses it. I believe that all Americans, even us unprejudiced ones are prejudiced sometimes. We are still good people or can behave as our best selves in public. I believe that the television stations are trying to unseat Obama, no matter what must be done or... Sign in to see full entry.

I believe that America needs to go sit in the corner and think awhile.

Reading books on ethics and morality and goodness and charity and empathy would be required while seated in that corner. Then, everyone should spend some time volunteering for community service and we could fix America here at home fairly quickly. Street builders could build streets and bridge...

I wear my Stop the Hate button daily and get nice comments about it.

There are so many things that I do believe. The first is that we should try loving one another first and foremost and most often, without stopping, and with no exceptions. After that, I have mostly gray areas of belief. I hear heart breaking words when walking by strangers or when turning on the... Sign in to see full entry.

I believe that it is good to be nice and helpful, but with some reserve.

I don't know what that reserve would be, as I don't have any, but I think that I should exercise some...sometime. I helped my foreign student, the new doctor of chemistry, to empty her office and lab and put things in a friend's apartment and into my storage shed and onto my back porch and into her...

Grandma believes that the inventors of Nyquil and Theraflu should win the

I believe that we should be very nice to refugees,

as they become the people who wipe our parents' bottoms in nursing homes and prepare our foodstuffs, picking veggies and fruits in fields and hothouses and packaging them for sale and cutting up our meats. America has no one willing to take care of us aging Boomers, as the grandchildren would rather... Sign in to see full entry.

My most closely held belief, that I talk way too much.....

Sometimes a simple answer will do....sometimes, no explanation will suffice, or none will be necessary, or three years are not enough time......... I also believe that women, not acting like men, not using men's previous solutions or ideas, could do a better job of running this orb and of nurturing... Sign in to see full entry.
