Go on any dating site, especially where Britons are, and it is as if they are all copying each other in a revolving fest of cliches that make you feel you have seen everyone by the time you have been through the first few profiles.

Most women cheat through neglect, boredom and being taken for granted. Many people forget a vital factor when they get into a relationship: that human beings are constantly evolving and developing different aspirations, needs and expectations.

Everyone in the world mistakenly believes they are seeing the same reality. In one sense, reality is a static situation but how it appears to us will depend on what we read into it, and that is decided by our individual perception.

This is a fascinating age. It offers so much yet can leave a lot of regret and unhappiness in its wake because this period in our emotional evolution brings its own angst of getting older and being conscious of time's ever-moving hand waving us on.

We all have lots of things we can immediately think of that make us happy: family, possessions and leisure things, for a start. The real dilemma comes in trying to reduce all of them to just three, if they were the only ones you could have. That must be very difficult!

The latest polls seem to be going up and down like a yo-yo for President Obama. They have changed so frequently in the last nine months of him being in the White House it almost makes one's head spin.

On the face of it, no. Both lead others, motivate others and encourage others. However, there are definite distinctions between the two labels, though they both relate to one person interacting with others in an unequal capacity.

Ms.Cyprah- Just wanted to thank you again for the insight you gave me on an important issue in my life. I have been rather enjoying my 'power'. Now and then when the wrong people and words get into my thoughts, I am able to see it ,and I tell them to go. This is my life. And I will live it.

Greetings from Kentucky, USA Ms Cyprah! I enjoy your articles and your comments, You have such a reassuring manner about you that makes one feel comfortable posting. You leave one with a soothing sense of having been accepted, warts and all.
I just received an email from the powers that be telling me that I am no longer allowed to comment in a particular user's seeds/articles, which has made me laugh, given that this particular person is constantly getting away with COH violations with nary a peep from moderators.
Laughter is supposed to be the best medicine, to help keep our bodies in great health. Do you have a comedian you have always admired? One who really makes your side split with laughter or simply cheers you up when you see them?

Good support by the President.
