What do you mean by that?

Never before in history has the “you live in a zoo” version of happy birthday been more appropriate. #handwashing

@CashSupport I have tried multiple times to get helpful service from the contact form in the app to merge two accounts. I followed the instructions sent to me (twice!) but nothing happened. The second time I was told my case was closed. Any advice?

Me: *Puts on Pentatonix*

@kimmysun: who is this? Kirk Franklin???

Me: *facepalm*

@kimmysun: don’t tell Twitter on me

For me, the enneagram helps answer the question (that usually isn’t a genuine question): “why would anyone ever do that?”

There are only two ways to live after we encounter pain in this life: as the proud victim or the wounded healer.

@shawnwilhite Congrats!!!

Much of what I worry about assumes self-reliance and self-sufficiency on my part.

@joshhoweth If I ask my son why he did something, he'll reply "I don't know" (good honesty) - hope to help him learn to introspect well 😊

[Derek Imai @dimai]

@joshhoweth Helps with kids too - What did want to have happen when you did that? What were you feeling when you did that?

[Derek Imai @dimai]

@joshhoweth So far, asking "what" questions - e.g. What do you think motivated that? What is the intent here? Helps parse the "why."

[Derek Imai @dimai]

Also a good example of winning and losing at the same.

Using one's philosophical training to best one's wife in a "discussion" is an example of doing something smart and stupid at the same time.

@raj_lulla When I first wrote it, though, I definitely spelled it "nativity " 😂 Spelling has never been my strong suit.

[Derek Imai @dimai]

In my experience lately, asking "Why?" seems to be a pretty ineffective way to get the answer to the question.

[Derek Imai @dimai]

@raj_lulla Hahaha. Believe it or not, naivety is the English rendering. I reworded it, though, and used the French 😁

[Derek Imai @dimai]

It seems better to temper naïveté with wisdom than to kill it with cynicism.

With all the decisiveness in the world today, can we at least all come together over the fact that black licorice is seriously delicious?

[Derek Imai @dimai]

My daughter just yelled, "Alexa, watch this!" I don't even know how to begin to parse the wrong in there.

[Derek Imai @dimai]

@RobinDayle Pretty sure we're all guilty here 😬

[Derek Imai @dimai]

How much of what drives us comes from a belief that we need something other than Jesus for life in abundance?
