I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
One of the most overlooked forms of wealth is having complete ownership of your time.
Waking up and knowing nothing about your day will be decided by someone else is priceless.
*Help meet.
We make this error too many times. And we use it most times to mean the woman's role is somewhat inferior.
The original word used for help in that verse is "Ezer".
Ezer is a term used for military help and the help that comes directly from God.
It appeared sixteen times in the Bible and fourteen of those times, it was ascribed to God—the other two times was to define women. Basically tells you that a woman's "help" is an active, strong one. Not something passive.
Just yesterday I made this post while realizing that the journey has gone far. Today, I'm celebrating my second time giving spinal anesthesia and got it at first try 🥹 This is day 430 of becoming a nurse anesthetist and I can say you're safe with me as your nurse anesthetist 🤭
i’m a christian, and i think one of the biggest problems with these conversations is that many people are more passionate about preventing the abortion than they are about supporting the life that comes after birth.
i understand why people disagree with her conclusion but i also think many of the responses are missing her actual point.
her point isn’t really about down syndrome, her point is about responsibility.
a lot of people are speaking from a place of moral conviction while ignoring the environment these children are born into, in many communities, children with down syndrome are mocked, isolated, denied opportunities, and treated as burdens, their parents are often left to navigate everything alone.
what frustrates me is that some of the same people condemning her tweet will never advocate for disability inclusion, never support affected families financially, never push for better healthcare, and never challenge the stigma these children face every day.
christianity is not just about defending principles, it’s also about carrying burdens, if we’re going to speak about what families should do, we should be equally advocating for society to support them.
Everyone is on the internet rn like
“I knew my child was going to be sick and I chose to birth them, now they are non-verbal, have a feeding tube, wheelchair bound, in and out of the hospital since birth, 45 surgeries by age 5… but I’m happy with my decision, my child is happy”
"We can disagree and still be friends".
Yeah sure but on things like pizza toppings and never on things like women's rights or if APC should remain in power.
Do you know your spouse can become disabled at any point?
However, I would not intentionally choose a disabled spouse.
Happenstance and intentionally selecting a disabled person are two different scenarios.
They kill children. They rape women. They behead teachers. They torture children.
They post themselves doing all of these things.
And yet you bastards are still on here talking about politics and the upcoming election like a game. As though it is a football match.
I have no interest in being around people who assign malicious intent to every mistake. If grace is reserved for no one, not even the people in your life, I can only imagine how harshly you judge strangers
Counter argument: It’s evil to carry a pregnancy to term when you find out the child(ren) will have genetic defects that will never enable them be functional adults and require special care all their lives.
