@Hughes69Kevin Indeed. Knowledge and wisdom is not something we gain. It is interaction with all that is. It is interaction first. It is a relationship cultivated.
@Trump_Mandate @DaultRadio Exactly this. It’s hard being a person on this app. It pushes us to be caricatures of our selves. Praise all those on here still shining the dignity of human personhood when so much is attempting to squelch that shining.
@Trump_Mandate @DaultRadio I sadly have given up any real social media engagement 99 percent of the time. It’s basically falling away for me as I find less and less ways of engaging fruitfully in a space dominated by bots, ultra right wing, etc. May you find ways that are of benefit to you and others.
@ramblingsloa@thisadoration This is a lovely sentiment but as a religion professor I must admit this sounds completely like one of the million quotes attributed to the Buddha that he never said. This does not sound like the language of the Buddhist philosophical approach to life.
@KNVelde @zenahitz Oh my sweet summer child. Gather close and hear the tales of how I nearly burned a forest down, how we played with guns and explosives, how no adults were around ever and we were miles from home, how we shot fireworks at each other to “play war,” and that’s just to start.
@MatthewSitman So sorry @MatthewSitman. This is a gut punch for sure. I’ve been praying for him since his announcement in August. I loved talking to him via email and social media. We never met in person. May his memory be a blessing.
@KaseyNBailes@BrianPFlanagan Ugh. I’ve been dreading this for a few months now when he indicated that his diagnosis had shifted from ok to worst case imaginable. Thank you for letting us know @BrianPFlanagan. Prayers for him, his family, and all of us. From what I knew of him, he was wonderful.
@tonyannett It’s so amazing. Whatever he does is perfect and proof of his perfection. If you don’t agree it’s because you have been tricked by those crazy liberal ideas you learned from those marxist brainwashing teachers you had in school. Trust me. 🙄
