I am under the impression that most people don't think all that hard about what they believe. Their religion is like the air they breath. They don't think about it most of the time, it's just there. They believe, but they also don't think it's a big deal. These seem to be the people who are most ...

Who is your Valentine, on the most important day of the year.

KKGator comments on Feb 14, 2018:

How is this the "most important day of the year"??? I don't get it.

Castlepaloma replies on Feb 14, 2018:

I will take any day to reminds people of love. I love my work for most waking hours of my life. Love is my God. The BS everyday is Political or Religious Fairytales & Legends We need more love and kindness than BS. A Romanic love, rings true. Two lovers are stronger together, than apart. I think love dose conquers all. No greater pleasure, than sex for bonding with the ultimate one. Laughing is 2nd, of all greatest pleasure. Love is Truth and beauty written in the stars. Whole universe glued together by love. All earthlings & things connect all by love. Ultimate love will not get lost, in a Religious ghost host. Teach love in schools, rather than they lead their lives so weepy. Master life, be fearless, have sweetness. On your death bed you wish you loved your love one more than spending more time at work. End winners are the love ones, with the most joys.

How often do you self-censor? Is it hard to bite your tongue?

AnneWimsey comments on Feb 8, 2018:

She may be "in love with love", or addicted to the endorphin rush that comes with first attraction. Competence/expertise in one area is no guarantee of stability in another....enjoy but make NO legal moves!

Castlepaloma replies on Feb 8, 2018:

@Anne That seem to be somewhat the case. I would build a woman a separate house before I marry again. From studying her romantic relationship history and it is the only weakness I can find. She is brilliant and reads me very well as I am an open book. My feeling now is she was desperate in our first meeting. Because the next day she told me she thought I had vanished from her. No way! I went crazy for her. Going to need some work.

AnneWimsey comments on Feb 8, 2018:

Castlepaloma replies on Feb 8, 2018:

I googled her and found out she is rich, and has had a brilliant career that I support her deeply. I too have had a wonderful career, yet, willing to sacrifice now much more for a balance loving relationship. The downside, now discovering, her romantic relationship successes have not been that healthy. I feel she reads me very well, yet she was really desperate to rush us together. I'm always open and now she seems to be backing off. Timing is important, and need to open her up to find out what is blocking us.

Religion is like a penis.

Co-in-cide with my spiritual, realationships, physical, intelluctal, and since she has more money than I. Who needs a world Champion liar like Trump to delusion us about his stinking money.

I truly believe that the worst invention ever is religion . I really can't think of something that divides people , causing hate and suffering more than acting on behalf of an imaginary friend .

Castlepaloma replies on Jan 16, 2018:

At times I thought Religion could be the worst for Humanity because 90percent of wars are predominantly Religious Countries. When Richard Dawkins said Nationaism is worst than Religion, it confirm a stronger feeling that Nationaism is worst than Religion. Goverments has a licence to steal and kill, where Religion has rules about that.

Gun's are not bad. A gun is just a tool, no different than a knife or an ax, (by the way man used both to kill before guns came along). There will always be violence in any society where there are different classes and some form of authority to favor the higher classes. You know what's bad? The lack...

Castlepaloma replies on Jan 14, 2018:

What's good about guns, other than to kill. To kill another human being, what can be worst, or lower than that. A knife has many good uses. To kill with a hammer, means beating a man into a hamburger. That is too personal and takes much skill. Wait, there is something worst than killing humans. In my lifetime, killing most of the wildlife combined with stealing their habitat. Drives species to extinction everyday. It's much cheaper to buy meat at the store and safer. Time of the 2nd amendment, they needed guns for food and protection from big wild animals, but not now. We are the 99percent we can easily beat the 1percent greedy higher classes. They dumb us down by making the military budget 10 times the education budget. The solution would be to lock up the central bankers, shink Governments to only state or local levels. Start a new age of volunteerism like Ron Paul proposed. If they don't get shot by the bad guys. Too many good guys are in prison. Prisoners population has grown tens times in my lifetime too.

Yes, starvation and disease killed more people in the 2nd World War and the American civil war than firearms and so on. You can't start and maintain these kinds of war murder actions without firearm's. People don't farm or move medicine well when they think they will be killed. That gose for world poverty and modern slavery and so on and so on. It's not so much the gun deaths that people fear, it's anticipation of the big bang of it. Take away firearms from the Religious and what do they got? No more hell on earth to fear. Now that Pope Francis thinks hell dose not exist at all. Both super or Supernatural powers will vanish..

When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."American public carry 10 times the guns than the US military has. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."The federal government won't work out as our servant, the now NWO make them our master!" It can only get worst. Like all throughout human history, it takes great abuse before the true leaders, the people change it for the good. Not the heirachary Greedy. “When the people "tyranny has found victory," then "a smaller government is our servant" Sorry, no solid solutions, just aim to be the hide and seek world Champion.

What we've got here is failure to communicate because Nationaism has us very brain washed. Show me where guns reduce rape. My data say out of 1,100 sexual assaults, in only one did the victim use a gun in self-defense. Look at men fighting, look at women crying and the hate we're breeding. Look at the fear we're feeding, it is not the number of gun deaths numbers. It's the highest death toll by the fear and surppression by firearm causing poverty, salvery, and tyrants it creates. Call it Nationaism the Destruction leading what we've always done before. Our hands are tied for billions work brainwashed pride pay more taxes than for rent and food. God bless America yet the Constitution is toilet paper along with banks printed money.All are swept aside by bloody hands time can't deny, then washed away by genocide and hides the lies of our civil wars. Public health costs of guns is too high. Victims used a gun in less than 1% of crime incidents. What self defense is a gun locked in a safe from children. Why not, sleep with your gun and shoot anyone who coming through a door. If I am upset I will write a letter an American thinks about a gun. Nabourghood watch is far more effective, I am not hanging out with a gun owner who may anger over anything.. Gun in self-defense increase the likelihood of injury. Try, Mace, or a dog. For the million of people I have been in contact with. Running and reporting was most effective for me or the for criminal. Nothing major stolen yet. Criminals don't do studies if homes have a gun or not. They may want to steal your guns. A gun in your home increases the likelihood you will be shot accidentally, but also that someone in the home will die in a suicide or homicide. Prisons are full of people who have pot, yet only 13 percent are violent criminals. Policing for profit is the name of the game, guns won't stop real criminals, a good prepared plan will.

Lead with my heart shortly followed by my mind. For just depending on imagination can go a muck too, like Religions who fight over imaginary Gods. When we always remembered to judge between emotions that will lead us down a good path. Heirachary leaders often lead us to a destructive path, if we follow them? Lead our hearts with truth? Can you imagine how different the world would be? Couples wouldn’t allow emotional offenses to drive a wedge between them. People wouldn’t give up on their dreams. Each of us are into the driver’s seat of our lives. If our feelings are saying“You’re a loser,” stop! Better lead your heart with truth. I am no better or worst than you, just make adjustments on your mistakes next time. Imagination is your best friend. Imagine the dangers too, to control the dangers.

Love and fear co-exist. The two opposite feelings converge to create a different feeling. Respect, most modern writers think that the two cannot co-exist. When humans felt that they were powerless over Nature, they feared it and loved it and the resulting respect made possible a healthy and enduring love.
