Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

what does rediculous mean here? (link)
|
No matter how deep your faith, no one can truthfully deny that there is absolutely no evidence of an afterlife. So then, why isn't crime running rampant in the streets? What is it that makes people put the needs of others ahead of their own? Why do the overwhelming majority of us behave daily in such totally ridiculous ways when the one single certainty we have in life is that we are going to be here for a very short time and most of us will never get everything we really want simply by working hard and following the rules? Fedor Dostoevsky submits his answer to these questions in his short story "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man." I believe that in Dostoevsky short story, the word ridiculous could be substituted by any of the 7 deadly sins, like pride, jealousy, gluttony, vanity, sloveness, umm, I forgot the rest, but you get the idea.

ADDENDUM
First I went and read part of the Short Story by Doestoevsky. Then I found an explanation on so a website and that helped me to understand what Doystoevsky was saying. Then I added my own understanding of it, at the end. Glad that you liked it.
