God gave us talent for a reason. We can't allow Ai to tamper with it. We need real human art, music, storytelling that comes from love, heartbreak, joy, and long-suffering. God really took His time to craft the minds and hands that move and stir us. Let's not mess with that.
Something I need to work on and self-correct: having an idea and not acting on it. Thinking I am capable of something instead of knowing I am. Being too comfortable with thinking that some things aren't meant for me to act on. Tolerating unremarkableness.
What makes me feel so loved is prayer. When someone takes time out of their day to pray for me. They speak to God on my behalf saying the things I say and don't say. That is love right there.
They're both numbers.
The both have horizontal lines.
They both have 4 numbers between them.
They both can be added, subtracted, multiplied, divided by any other number.
They both can be percentages.
When you count on your fingers they both require 2 fingers on one hand.
They both when written out only have 1 vowel.
They're both positive numbers.
They're both on a number line.
When a -ve sign is placed in front of them, they become negative numbers.
When you're telling me about myself, tell me the truth. My feelings can be dealt with afterward.
If you're my friend, we'll handle them together. If you're not, I'll handle them on my own.
The truth might hurt, but lies leave me the same. I'd rather be offended than remain unchanged.
@TinashePeter_ The lack of accountability within parts of the black community is a disgrace. They're too comfortable shifting blame, playing victim, and pointing fingers at everyone and eveyrthing but themselves. Why is it so hard for them to confront what is so glaringly obvious?
Feeling unsafe because you see the flag of the country you call home is irrational. I just don't believe that's how she actually feels. We're living in an attention economy where outrage gets rewarded, victimhood gets engagement, and the most dramatic take gets the most clicks. This feels a lot more like performance than genuine fear.
What's not safe is teaching children to think this way. If you've taught your child discernment and they've chosen good friends, they shouldn't feel like "the only black friend" in the group. They should simply feel like a valued friend.
This way of thinking encourages children to "other" themselves and can cultivate a victim mindset. That doesn't serve them well.
Also not sure how someone can conclude that a child is unsafe simply because they're the only black friend when we've seen, time and again, that black children are not always safe among other black children.
