“You are not controlling the storm, and you are not lost in it. You are the storm.” Sam Harris

So, if I am the storm and I am not controlling it, do I have no self-control? 😮

This is a thing!

BestWithoutGods comments on Jun 2, 2019:

I find my comfort and happiness in doing good to others. I enjoy volunteering to help the needy, or being of assistance to my friends and relatives, and just doing common courtesies like opening doors for people. I also like to feed and pet animals. I have rejected the mythology of religion, but its ethics are sometimes worth keeping. My life motto is, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." That makes me happy and gives me comfort. :)

What is your response to evil and suffering?

BestWithoutGods comments on Jun 1, 2019:

Of the three, I would choose the second response. However, I would not say that suffering has a purpose. It's just part of life. Humans suffer. Other animals suffer. Without suffering, would we recognize joy?

What we need to do is repeal the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. It is outdated. We no longer need citizen militias, because we have a standing military. Then, when the Second Amendment is repealed, we can outlaw firearms, with the exception of the on-duty police, the on-duty military, and on-duty guards where they are required.

What is the answer for your happiness?

BestWithoutGods comments on May 31, 2019:

It seems to me that happiness is a decision. I decide to be happy, no matter what happens. One thing that makes me happy is to make others happy. Helping others, or just doing common courtesies for others makes me very happy. I "always look on the bright side of life." There is always something to smile about. Many times when I wash my hands in the bathroom, I look at myself in the mirror, make funny faces, and end up laughing to myself. :)

It definitely gets your attention.

I'm interested in getting opinions on the places in which you live. Do you love it or hate it?

BestWithoutGods comments on May 30, 2019:

Everywhere I live, I can list some good things and some bad things. At present, I'm in Baveno, Italy. GOOD THINGS ABOUT BAVENO: It's on the lakeshore at the foot of the Alps, where the views are beautiful. There is much to sightsee in Baveno and nearby, especially the Borromeo Islands. The architecture and art in Baveno are fantastic. There is a mountain going up from the lake, which is a nice place to hike and get away from people. The Italian cuisine is absolutely delicious. I'm out of the USA news loop. I don't have to see or hear the Fake President while I'm here. BAD THINGS ABOUT BAVENO: Too many people smoke in public, giving me bronchitis. There are too many diesel engines, also giving me bronchitis. The people don't seem to care about making noise, so there is too much noise for my sensative ears. The cuisine is fattening, and I gain weight every time I come to Italy. I am still learning Italian, so the process of communicating with the people is a challenge. All things considered, I think the positive things about Baveno outweigh the negative things. I think I have a good enough attitude that I can work my way around the negative things. I hold my breath and walk quickly by people that smoke. I carry earplugs at all times, or stick my fingers in my ears, when exposed to loud noises. I shop for good, non-fattening food and eat at home when possible. I study Italian, and learn new things every day.

When you are an older gent going for a pee is a lot like watching a fireworks display.

BestWithoutGods comments on May 30, 2019:

Nor is he sure in which direction it is going to squirt. At a cafe here in Baveno, Italy, there is a sign in the men's room, just above the urinal. It translates as: "What you have in your hand is not a hydrant, and on the floor there is no fire." :D

Another incredible lesson for adults from Greta Thurnberg. What do you think about her warning?

BestWithoutGods comments on May 30, 2019:

It is the young people who will suffer most. We older generation will be ready and willing to go when climate change becomes our instant of death. The younger generation will still be in their prime. Please, for ourselves and everyone else, for human and other animals, let's turn the situation around. Get an electric car. Get clean energy in your home. Demand that your representatives in Congress take action immediately. Let's all stop the pollution and go green. I applaud this young lady for her speech. Brava!

Recent trip Yellowstone

BestWithoutGods comments on May 28, 2019:

I wondered at first why the buffalo does not have wings. Then I figured out that they must have been clipped off and sold for human consumption. And that's probably a good thing. I can handle bird poop hitting my car, but buffalo droppings hitting the windshield might cause me to crash. :P

Masonry & Masons Your Thoughts

BestWithoutGods comments on May 26, 2019:

I thought it was based on brick-laying.... :P Seriously, now, I think it might have some religion in it. I don't know much about the Masons, except that I used to be a Moron (oops, Mormon), and the founding prophet, Joseph Smith, seems to have taken some concepts from Masonry and included them in the Moron (oops, Mormon) temple ceremonies. There are robes, handclasps, hand signals, etc. I don't know if they were religious to begin with, or if Joseph Smith just mixed Masonic secular stuff with his religious views.
