I hope you know that we never stop learning

I hope you learn patience

I hope you experience real, unconditional friendships

I hope you love all kinds of people

I hope you try harder when things get hard

I hope you aren't afraid to differ from your friends, it's easy to disagree from your enemies

I hope you become comfortable with who you are

I hope you never forget how many have suffered and died to make this world the peaceful, free one you live in

I hope you have a big happy family, and a great relationship with your SO whoever HE or She May be!

Update on MIL shunning

by BeautifulMind in

hello on this beautiful sunday!

just a quick little update to the post i made a few months ago about my mil shunning us.

quick recap: during a convo after she attended the rc and was going on and on about how powerful it was and how great the videos were, blah, blah, blah...i couldn't take it anymore and told her that's not our lives anymore and i didn't want to hear anymore about it and to please respect that and move on to something else to talk about.

Freddo they are clever in using the example of a married man with wife and young children, by doing so they are reinforcing to witnesses to shun those not living under your roof regardless of relationship, whist fooling non witnesses that " normal family affection and dealings continue"

Election Post-Mortem

by Simon in

i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.

really, wtf!.

the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

Nathan don't be an ass of course they exist. Most major newspapers in the UK have had an outline for the Queens obituary for years....doesn't mean they want her to die. They would have had a leader prepared for either win.

What Songs Best Fit you when you learned TATT and Afterwards?

by Wasanelder Once in

the work of john lennon best fit my situation.

first, i found out.

Oh god Baker!!! that " Just around the corner" song is SO CRUEL. I thought it was a spoof at first, it's so absurd, but then I saw the WT " watermark" on the video and realized it was for real. It made me cry with sadness and anger...to squeeze these old folks for every penny they've got and every spare moment they have aside from work, all on the basis of a false promise to reunite them with their long dead young daughter. How cruel. But remember, one false step...get on the wrong side of the elders and that's it...you will never see your child again, even if you have served faithfully for 70 years...one ciggie and it's eternal death for even the kindest soul in the world.

Here's another Stevie Wonder song that once I woke up ,I saw the lyrics in a completely "New light."😋

They made me realise firstly how petty and unloving not having birthday celebrations for every single individual is. We are all unique and deserving of a special day to celebrate our lives, we are privileged to be alive and share that life with every person we know.

Secondly that there has been an awful lot of good people who have done so much for humanity. Not witnesses, or even Christians ( Ghandi etc), it's absurd to think, if there was a God, that he wouldn't resurrect them simply because they didn't obey a modern American publishing company. Crazy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY by the incomparable

Stevie Wonder

You know it doesn't make much sense

There ought to be a law against

Anyone who takes offense

At a day in your celebration

Cause we all know in our minds

That there ought to be a time

That we can set aside

To show just how much we love you

And I'm sure you would agree

It couldn't fit more perfectly

Than to have a world party on the day you came to be

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

I just never understood

How a man who died for good

Could not have a day that would

Be set aside for his recognition

Because it should never be

Just because some cannot see

The dream as clear as he

that they should make it become an illusion

And we all know everything

That he stood for time will bring

Good story Esse quam videri, Bless him...sounds like he missed it. I knew an old elder who fought in the Mau Mau war ( Kenya in the 50s) . He used to reminisce all the time....told me the greatest danger were the baboons, they would hunt lone humans...fall from the trees above...he saw them tear a man limb from limb. They deleted him as an elder for alcoholism, he was always drunk but very red faced so unfortunately it was obvious. Nice guy. I think he suffered from PTSD.
