I don’t need a bulletproof vest, hard hat, etc. I do not and will not disrespect or attack anyone for their beliefs or disbeliefs. I will simply state my beliefs not having any expectations of others.
Quietly walks out the door.
i have done that before its nature. hope you and your family have a wonderfull and safe xmas. its xmas day here as i write.Tried staying in bed. Had to urinate, it was just after 4 AM. Tried coming back to bed, didn't make it. Blame memories. *shrugs*
enjoy your day magic, let us start again (holds out hand to shake)Can agree with you in regard to lack of empirical evidence. There is more evidence for the Bible & Christianity having been the Jews in employ of Romans having written the Bible, than proving a specific Christian Jesus existed. There is more suggesting Jesus as Christians know him is just Mitra, or Mithra as the West know him repurposed as an icon.
This aside I have to also agree that wisdom can be found even in fairy tales. The Christian Bible holds a lot of wisdom, which ought not be cast aside lightly with the rubbish in it. Sometimes you go through darkness to bring out the light. Don't fear learning more in order to understand how the wisdom gets hidden in the Bible. Parable, metaphor, riddles often can encode some of the most profound lessons.
Life can too. That's why it's beneficial to live, return to studies and repeat. Again, back to balance I cling. Moderation even in moderation. Sometimes I go to extremes. It's usually in equal amounts though. *chuckles* Another good read for some wisdom? Aesop's Fables elucidate a lot for being simple tales ascribed by a slave.

good choice, have 2. keep safe.Here when I've just gotten all flustered with our holiday plans, I read you saying "moderation in moderation." Dammit BB. My brain is twisted in knots already, and here you are saying shit like that.
I'm going to watch The Polar Express and probably eat a doughnut. F'it.
quite a few of those are right my friend, how about...just because some people see things differently it does not mean they are bad
Good afternoon Porch goers
10 CRITICAL Things to Remember During the Holidays
1. Always choose love. Just remember that the people that are the hardest to love are the ones that need it the most.
2. Be love, instead of right.
3. Everyone is doing the best they can with the “tools” they have at the moment (many just don’t have the “tools”)
4. Forgive, let go and move forward. Do it for yourself.
5. Stop trying to control people (what they should say or do and how they should behave, etc.)
6. Stay away from discussing politics or vaccines (that never ends well). If the conversation does go there, just revert to #2 above.
7. Take the time to do something nice for someone else (without expecting anything in return)
8. Reach out. This is a difficult time for many (especially those that have lost loved ones and those that are alone), so remember to reach out to them and shower them with your love.
9. Focus on what's important. RELATIONSHIPS—that is the most important "thing" in our lives. Don't neglect, ignore, or dismiss the people who mean the most to you. Life is short. They won't always be there.
10. Choose love, love, love (worth repeating). It’s really the answer to everything. Period (mic drop).

a very smart down to earth coupleMornin', hope it's well for all. We faring to middlin' 'ere. Got a bath basket & a bath sheet towel for gifts. In the basket one of those handy back washing cloth with the string handles.
Ask my wife if that was a subtle hint to bathe. She explained it wasn't but rather just a practical gift, given I really had no desire for any gift. She said I was difficult to gift for. I chuckled and said, "look who's talking."
This is why we usually give each other hugs and a hard time. Neither of us have any driving, absolutely have to have desires. We're both well grounded and both will get what we do want, or let go of the want if it's too costly.
Sure I buy some nice to nicer vape gear. She gets her yarn, nail stuff, little bit fancier under garments. Neither of us really go too far out of line in our getting stuff. We both agree we want a better state of living. All we can do is muddle along, try to save and try getting there.
So, ... *returns to stillness*
