  • Do people believe spirituality & religion are anything alike?

    Religions are man-made organized groups of people, made up by people from all over the world since the beginning of time!! No matter what the label is!! Thousands upon thousands of different names....

    Spirituality comes from within the individual, and can be described as feeling of love, and knowing we are being looked after by whatever power we conceive it to be.... Like the Desiderata says...

    Desiderata - by max ehrmann

    Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

    As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

    If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

    Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

    Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

    Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

    Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

    With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

    Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

    Max Ehrmann c.1920

  • If you are on diuretics for a heart problem/pitting edema do you?

    I an currently having investigations done for pitting edema and fluid around the lungs, but the cardiac specialist never explained to me whether I should take more fluids, or try and drink less, Until all the tests have been done, they have put me up to 80mg from 40mg of furosimide, and 300mg allpurinol for gout!! If anyone has any other information at all as to how I can help my self in the meantime until I get a final diagnosis, I would be very grateful indeed.... Thanks in advance Jean
