Someone Will Listen

The media has recently been highlighting the depression that tweens, adolescents, and young adults experience. Truth is, people of all ages can feel overburdened and helpless and it is not a new problem. Click the link above to hear the WMA file.

Philosophical Questions

By Tara Overzat

Just a few questions I’ve had on my mind lately…

1) If emotions make up the human experience (love, loss, happiness, grief, anger, adoration, etc.), do people who experience fewer or less intense emotions have a “less human” experience?

2) If you have an incredible moment with someone, but then forget that moment due to drugs, alcohol or disease, is that moment still important to the other person?

3) Can people be judged by the net value of how they touched other people’s lives? If someone has done more harm than good (even unintentionally) was his/her life worthless?

4)  If we all could conquer our fears, how much happier and more productive would the world be? Is facing that fear, and doing the scariest thing you can imagine (just scary, not evil or unconscionable) the only way to combat fear?

5) If everyone chose one person to be 100% honest with at least once a day, would there be a chain reaction of truth that could change someone’s life?

6) Does the truth always come out eventually, or are some things destined to remain a secret?

7) Is it true that some people just meet each other at the wrong time, like ships passing in the night, or are all our meetings predestined, with people guiding us along our paths?
