If you were in a blue state would you be shot as a cougar or a puppy?

Maybe the op has gone to her happy place
Maybe she has gone to shoot her husband
Maybe both

I don't have a partner even one that needs shooting

Fortunately one of my happy places is mingle2

Makes me wonder which is the greater heart ache
to have never found love
or
to have found love and lost it

Although I suspect if we truly never found love we wouldn't survive
Though we can survive even if we haven't recognised the love we have had

The self determining part of our knowledge comes in the form of the testing we choose to investigate it with to determine its validity .
As there is no universal set test we can apply to all knowledge to determine its accuracy its up to us each and every time to determine how we test it.
Sometimes we test it consciously sometimes unconsciously
Sometimes we test it vigorously
Sometimes we are less vigorous because it appears to fit in with our thinking

Even if we determine to be vigorous in the testing of our knowledge we are vulnerable to our biases and our basic ignorance of “what is”

So its not surprising a degree of faith is required in what we believe to be true.

From testing our knowledge we now move on to testing our faith.

When a person whose belief system is based on a faith in a god I imagine their test would be to question whether their faith is serving god, self and perhaps others.

When I test the worthiness of my faith I ask a trilogy of questions.

Is my faith in the best interest of self? others? and the environment?

While the interests of those three considerations may be in conflict I have way more confidence in my judgement as to what may be appropriate than leaving it to a god that if it actually exists has a very poor form of communicating its intent.

There is much in the bible that most christians have learnt to ignore or interpret into insignificance.
There is much in the koran that many muslims have learnt to ignore or interpret into insignificance.
Both books how ever are capable of being interpreted to say that the sooner life on earth ceases the happier god will be along with those that believe in it.

My faith is in humanity evolving past such belief even though my faith is tested by reality daily.

IMO much better that than have my faith blind me to reality

a win to start my day

Dam if you had only asked before....or latter

Yes but I bet thats only because she doesn't want to be bothered by young bucks
Just like I am sure she will send me a ticket to go over there to marry her

Things are looking rosy

It never ceases to amaze me how much good can come out of a bad idea

Like wise humans are quiet capable of causing bad to come out of a good idea.

But the idea that one should base their beliefs on faith (deluding yourself you know something you don't know) based on what others have told you what to believe. Strikes me that as an idea no matter how much good may come out of it. It is inevitably going to be a source of hardship when reality gets in the way and is therefore not a reliable guide with which to navigate reality.

Until such time as sufficient of humanity learns to create worthwhile faith (a thought or feeling that holds within it an expectation of future value) within their belief system we shall be at the mercy of those that base their belief system on faith.

Its ok to not want to go if you or others wouldn't gain from it.

So I guess what could help decide to go would be an honest evaluation of how much benefit could be achieved while not over exaggerating the negative fears.

Sometimes the only reason to go is to avoid missing out on opportunities that may appear. If none do then at least you know.

But then again there's always a chance to put a smile on your face or an others.

Plant flower seeds

I think using the word handsome to describe a woman recognise her functionality along with her ornamentation.

To call a man pretty seems to distract from his functionality.

Of course this is influenced by my biases but we all have a bias one way or the other towards functionality and ornamentation.

Its easier to forgive others when you realise that just like you they will always act in a way that is true to who they are just as you act in a way that is true to yourself.

There is nothing saying you cant forgive another and remove them as best you can from your circle of influence.

Forgiveness allows you to get on with your life while not forgetting to put in place defence strategies

It is generally foolish to trust another unless you have good reason too.

It is wise to trust your capability to judge others and learn to deal with them rather than try to control others or seek revenge on them.

Seeking revenge is often like doing the same to them as they did to you and expecting a different outcome

So when you get ants in your pants

You need to learn the magic that makes elephants appear to have the ants disappear?

Love is an emotion

Love is also action and it takes alot more than one action to evaluate the love content

Merry mythmas everyone

Merry mythmas yall

There is a degree of difficulty for every one.

It is true that a single mom has more difficulty simply by being restricted in movement and by responsibilities.

Also the single mom can be the target of two different types of predator one after her and one after her child.

A parent needs to protect both them self and their child
Anything that interferes with that priority has to be re-prioritised.

I know I'm stating the obvious but just a little reminder and acknowledging your difficulties.

While it is difficult it is not impossible so I wish you good fortune in your endeavours

I think obarry would probably agree
