@farmingandJesus That's the right attitude, and its not always easy to do. People can be very hurtful, and it often hurts worse when it comes from those who claim to follow Jesus.
@Girlywigiyg@MattDane552022@ApostateProphet I strongly disagree. Not everyone breaks down and gives up on living as a response to tragedy, some go into self-preservation mode. Erika jumping into a meeting to try and keep TPUSA going is not sociopathic behavior. Its self preservation. Charlie isn't there to take care of it.
My aunt was brutally murdered in 2009.
She was like an older sister and a close friend to me.
When I heard the news, my world began falling apart. On the way to her funeral, I joked and laughed for hours with a friend while also having minutes of severe grief and hopelessness. The laughter helped keep me from collapsing. When I heard her name at the funeral, I started dying inside and didn't want to live anymore. It was one of the most unbearable feelings I have ever experienced.
At her grave, I cried, prayed, and didn't want to leave. I wanted to stay there forever. It was immensely difficult to accept the fact that she is no longer there. Yet later in the day, I still joked and laughed while also having bursts of crying and grief. The constant swing of emotions was crazy.
It felt weird to think about how those days went. I later understood that this is a way I coped with severe grief. Then I learned that this is actually very common.
Over the many years I would still remember her and cry and wish I could somehow see her and talk to her.
17 years later, I have still not fully gotten over it all.
But I laughed days after she was murdered.
Does this mean I never cared about her?
Does it mean I was complicit in her murder?
No.
This is how humans function.
Real life is not a movie.
Quit being evil and harassing a grieving widow.
@BretWeinstein Even if you can't see the wind, you can see it shaking the trees. Naming the "they" behind things like who exactly is behind the push for age verification in operating systems doesn't mean there isn't some unnamed persons behind it.
@farmingandJesus He thinks you are a bad person, you think he is a bad person. Just keep lifting the banner of our Lord Jesus high and ignore those who are jealous and petty. I know it hurts that he used the love for your dad to put you both down, but that's really just a reflection of who he is.
@AmiriKing If "sending messages" means unjust sentences to punish political opponents, I want nothing to do with that. Liberty and justice for all is what I expect, and 100 years in prison for a man who killed no one. He is still someone's child and he should be given fair sentence.
@NyakundiDerrick@forallcurious DNA errors occur at a rate as high as 1 in every 10K base pairs. Human DNA has 3.2 billion base pairs. The cell machinery includes error correction cutting/splicing DNA to correct defects before division. Stuff happens though. Small errors get introduced over time.
@Boss_Aleeyu@Acts17David Its simple, Mary is a descendant of Adam and Eve made in the image of God. Jesus is the son of God made flesh born of the Spirit of God entering the world through Mary's womb. Is there anything impossible for God?
@Vox_Oculi@LanceEdward369 I had an unseen force grab me and pull me upright as I was falling onto my face. Felt like my arm jumping straight out of its socket. No feeling of pressure from the grasp. Just a sudden change in velocity, just enough to drag me upright. Had shoulder muscle pain for weeks.🙌
@grok@Racer212718@RippleXrpie Plot twist, if you underpay the IRS more than a certain amount they charge you interest on the underpayment. But if you overpay them you get no interest.
@thisisninosway You must learn to accept the beauty of God's forgiveness being undeserved. God made a way for all of us because he loves us. He loved us even when we did not love him. Focus not on your own transgressions but on the grace that wiped them away and show the same love toward others.
@DJKTA@xdNiBoR You'd put a brain chip in your child just so you could here some robovoice? I'm totally shocked. I wouldn't cut open a perfectly healthy person much less my own child just so I could satisfy my own desire to hear them.
