Don’t I crave for more and ever more? Am I able to avoid pain and suffering that always accompany my life-long pursuit of power, money and pleasure? How can I really avoid pain and suffering? Is there a way out? What is true happiness? What is the message of the Buddha, the Enlightened One, and how does it help me in my life? Can I actually find the same kind of awakening that will free me from this compulsive pursuit of sensual pleasures that ultimately subject me to untold pain and suffering?

The prostate gland is a small, walnut-sized gland that surrounds the bottom portion of a man’s bladder and urethra, the tube that drains the urine from the bladder. The primary purpose of the prostate gland is to produce seminal fluid, which transports and nourishes the sperm.

Cancer can be simply defined as a group of abnormal cells that reproduce considerably faster than normal cells and also destroy healthy tissue as well. Most forms of prostate cancer generally grow at a slow rate initially and usually remain located in the prostate gland. But if left untreated, prostate cancer will begin to destroy healthy tissue and possibly spread to other areas of the body, and then it may be too late for successful treatment.

If you have yet to notice, our children are spoiled. I should narrow this down a bit by specifying American children. I guess I can’t really comment on kids from other countries. All I know is that in America, kids get most of what they want. I’m not saying it’s a good thing either. In all honesty I believe it has created a problem. The problem is called SPOILED CHILDREN! I am just as guilty as the next parent. I look at my seven year old and all the toys she has. It’s absurd if I compare it to the toys I had growing up. Basically they were few and far between. I recall my parents buying us new stuff on our birthdays and Christmas. That was pretty much it. We didn’t complain either, because it’s all we knew. When you never had it, you don’t really miss it. Of course if you flip that statement, the opposite is true. I know how my child acts when she doesn’t get something. And then there are outdoor playsets. Who can even afford these?
