That's true, but unethical action of OTHERS makes others lose, not necessarily us.
Wealth is always relative to who you hang around. It's amazing how many family members resent success and distance themselves when they realize you are rich (relative to them) and they should have listened. "must be nice...."
I don't ever let that slide. My standard reply is "It's REALLY nice! Let me know if you want some tips"
don't change your eating times. eat according to your home clock schedule.
Tony, your faith in humanity is commendable. Somewhat unwarranted, but commendable. Until the gov. kills their furbabies or deletes their tiktok or takes their porn away they won't do a thing.
THIS is the reason I do not advocate "all-in" on btc. I'm still not convinced the humans care enough to make it succeed. I'm deep, but not 100% deep.
Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups.
Just FYI, when Hitler was consolidating power his favorite phrase to the church leaders of his day was "Just Preach The Gospel".
If the church will not speak up in politics, they deserve all the slaughter that is coming swiftly for them..and the rest of us.
he looks like he was early to bitcoin.....with just a touch of Richard Heart.
Just wait until you have children. Friends are great, but when they're also your offspring.... that's badass relationship you can trust in ALL things.
In my simplified way, I've seen buddhism as an extinguishing of emotion and attachment. For this reason i see it as defective in scope and inferior to Christianity, which focuses on extinguishing inappropriate emotions, enflaming godly ones, and increasing relational attachment beyond what is humanly possible.
Imagine snuggling with the divine Father and feeling true, unconditional love while he whispers in your ear, "i really do love you just the way you are". Meditation on that will get you much farther.
If Christ offers us "living water" so we never thirst again (John 4), Buddha simply offers us greater personal control so we can pretend we're not thirsty in the first place.
Unfortunately, that is incorrect. Inner peace = happy life. If you let your spouse determine your spiritual state you are a hostage for life.....but being around happy people does mask a lot of personal deficiencies....
Call me old fashioned, but shouldn't you just explain your "buttons" to her and confirm whether she's doing it intentionally? If you're the king of your castle, at some point you have to find out the lay of the land.
Pro tip: just rip the sides to get it off. Real men make their own tabs. 😎
This saying seems smart but show a lack of ability to differentiate.
If someone has the brain power, they can differentiate between tasks where neatness is required and tasks where it is not. OCD is a deficiency where even the syrup on your waffles needs to be uniform. That's a liability, not an asset. A vice not a virtue.
That's a weird thing to be thankful for. They are my child, they don't get to choose, they get to obey. All you have to do is make wearing the diaper the easiest, most pleasant option.
It's also important to empower and not simply serve. In ministry, if you're working harder than they are to fix their problem, that's a problem.
Every family IN THE WORLD could fit inside Alaska with a 1/4 acre property and a two story home...... overpopulation is a myth.
imagine thinking your flaky ideas of what's right after smoking a joint are just as valid as centuries of proven cultural norms we call "morals".
One thing atheists and Christians agree on:
Stupid people (fools) get all the pain they deserve in the end.
I never liked referring to Christians as sheep. We're sheep to our righteous God, but not to fallen men. To mere men we are the aroma of death, the army of the Lord and the unbreakable, invinceable, unwavering harbingers of truth. Every knee WILL bow to the king, some because they want to, the rest because they have no other choice.
