Hello, all! I am not Jewish, but my Bubbe Rose was Jewish, might I still join you?!? Toda, Dank

Rustee comments on Mar 20, 2019:

Thank you for the welcome! Bubbe Rose taught me that being Jewish was an attitude, a culture, and a religion, but the first two were what she considered important. She imparted all kinds of wisdom!

Freedompath replies on Mar 20, 2019:

Some great minds have been Jews! My memory fails me, but when You wrote, ‘she imparted all kinds of wisdom,’ I remember so many psychiatrists back in the 80-90s, that were Jews, who wrote books that helped me find my way.

Freedompath replies on Mar 20, 2019:

@CarolinaGirl60 be who you are...you cannot be anything else, without twisting your own reality! Now..,what will that get you? I cannot sum up here, all my lonely, miserable years (and a lot of rejection from my 5 children). That is why I know that you deserve to find your joy, in your own way! Then it will stay with you, because you made it yourself! My children for the most part have come around, but there is some mental illness rearing it’s ugly head with a couple of my children. And, if I can help I will be there...otherwise there may be others more effective than I...so I will stand in the wings! About our ‘stuff’...my things started to own me, not me owning them! So when I had to scale back and get rid of things that I had for years, upon years, it felt like I lost parts of myself! But, I wanted to come to NM, and that meant giving up most of my much loved, ‘stuff!’ I have been living in this RV for more than 3 years, and they want hold a lot of stuff! I have never been happier! I am 1500 miles away from my children! And, every one of them seems to have settled down and want to visit and I love my life...and still love all my children! Make a life that fits you, even if people think that you most likely have gone off the deep end (that is what they thought about me), but guess what, I won! It is your life...live it! My best!

Freedompath replies on Mar 20, 2019:

@CarolinaGirl60 few people understand mental illness (brain disorders), when it is our children they feel shame that their parent can’t get it together and be ‘normal!’ Like on tv...or other families they see from a distance! I can tell you from experience, this is a time to stand in your own truth and be for yourself. It is not about love...parents and children love each other, but, love can get so confused with dis-order...that it no longer seems like a real thing. It may seem like forever when you are lonely and hurting but, time can help! So just live good now, you deserve it. At times when I was so distraught, the daughter that I looked to the most, would get so exasperated and angrily shout at me, ‘when are you ever going to be happy?’ It was crushing at the time! But, that same daughter would never do that now! But it was all hard work, I can’t deny that! Keep your hope and keep moving!?

If I were coming from your mind-set, that there is not enough ‘free speech,’ here to suit you...I would leave!

@AlPastor my guess for what it is worth is...if a person has a problem being ‘attacked’ with another person’s thoughts, then that should be allowed as free speech! The ‘attacking,’ person must think that because he had that ‘thought,’ with you...then he should be able to use his ‘thoughts’ (like a weapon) to force you to change over to his side! That is my best guess...from my personal interaction. Discussing with logic and reasoning words, seems inadequate...and I would say that this just might apply to less intelligent people (I am sad to say).

It's amazing!

If these people can create change for the better from this vantage point...more power to them, I say! Over my lifetime, I have observed a lot of analysis, (and word salad) without much action implemented to help change things for the better! ‘Work’ is often very hard and dirty and most people seem to avoid that part!

In other words, there seems to be very little concern for my idea, now! And I have an inquisitive mind about what/how people think! Back in my day, I was exposed to many people taking the ‘higher road!’ At great expense!

They were there, in my early years, but they were in the minority and definitely not given the power to ‘run the place.’ Now their ignorance has been commandeered to promote chaos for people not interested in making themselves a meaningful life! But why? They hardly procreate now, and porn has replaced the natural sex act! But, is their human emptiness being satisfied? ‘Things’ want fill us up!

@mongo1977 I stayed with my original premise, where was the ‘delusion’ and ‘hypocrisy?’ You may disagree with me, but there is no way son. that you are up on events as I am! I am years ahead of you...and usually never need to prove my intelligence, but you may be a new case! Your arrogance is palatable...you are clearly not here to learn a single thing!!!

Actually,in 1973, the Joint Chiefs held a meeting, to decide what to do if Nixon were impeached, or resisted impeachment They decided they would vote on whether they would support the Congress, or the President. Scary, but true!

Freedompath replies on Mar 18, 2019:

The problem as I see it...bringing all the facts together...it is very difficult to bring ‘reason,’ to insanity! And, that is what I see being played out on the world stage! The ‘word salad,’ goes on endlessly, but where is action to make some meaningful changes, to this INSANE situation?

...once again, proving that the jokes practically write themselves.

LoneDestiny comments on Mar 18, 2019:

Getting "tongue-tied" has nothing to do with I.Q. And the person with the lowest I.Q. should not "throw stones!" Hmmmm. Speaking of throwing stones...okay...maybe I better not go there.

Wedding vows. Are atheists vows stronger than religious vows?

Freedompath comments on Mar 17, 2019:

I personally do not see the strength in the vows, as different! The people that are agreeing to follow their vows will determine the gravity of them! Some people are totally committed to one another, and never took any vows!

Freedompath replies on Mar 18, 2019:

@missgi I have too much life experience to keep maintaining unrealistic romantic leanings! I have become a realist maybe to a fault! I am way past fairy tales and romantic fiction! Real life has rarely measured up to any portion of them! Just look at all the searching, unattached people there are out here! I only believe in human goodness and even that must be cultivated!

RiverRick comments on Mar 18, 2019:

I doubt he would try this. He would find out how many centrists and liberals own guns and are willing to forcibly remove him! I doubt the GOP would put up with it... Even thought they have turned out to be total pansies. They wouldn't take the heat for that!

Freedompath replies on Mar 18, 2019:

@mordant I tend to agree here...the apparently many advisers and supporters for trump, seem to have nothing to loose! I invision them ‘dying for the cause!’ And that is what scares me!

Wedding vows. Are atheists vows stronger than religious vows?

@t1nick I am at a loss...I can’t believe this is happening in America and more so that people in high places and smarter than me...seem to have no influence! In the past, other people with power could move the needle!!! I don’t see the needle moving toward sanity!

Freedompath comments on Mar 17, 2019:

He is on purpose, for sure! If not for his access to guns, we would not be having this sickening tragedy to make sense of! He may soon learn what it really is like to be alone in the world, my guess is that his life as a ‘life,’ is finished! He looses everything! What a waste!

Freedompath replies on Mar 18, 2019:

@KKGator I know how you feel...it is all I can do to keep myself straight in these times! There never seems to be a ‘let up’ from trump and it never gets better, in fact it only seems more dismal by the day! I think that if he was disposed of, we would be better off, but can I really put my whole faith in that, NO! So I work to keep a balance and look for some miracle change to take place. I do know for sure that if I go off the deep-end, nobody wins! And I have to admit, some days I want to throw caution to the wind and tear the house down! ?

That is true and is nothing more than an ongoing nightmare! Supported by a party that has lost any sense of decency! Surely, trump cannot possibly pull all this off on his own?

This made me chuckle :) He’s done so much worse and he’s still there.

Freedompath replies on Mar 17, 2019:

@KKGator it is not about being good...there is a social/mental breakdown and we can’t kill out way out of that! That has never worked! And we can’t chop mental/emotional problems down with an ax! The better thing is to always take the higher ground, even when you think that you might explode! This is bigger, than any one individual person’s revenge! And revenge never levels the playing field, nor kills our pain or anger!

Freedompath replies on Mar 17, 2019:

@KKGator there is another one waiting in the wings as we write! We will not be able to kill all of them! We are civilized, therefore we don’t whip out our gun and kill people even the ones who have just done the damage...it must be brought before the people, they need to face the uglyness...we all need to heal and to kill the perpetrator, blocks some of the process that will help the loved ones to heal their ‘why. why!’ We all need to find the ‘why,’ if possible...so that we can prevent such a tragedy from happening again!

@KKGator anger, makes us feel like that, but before long, it would become easier and easier to quickly eliminate people on the spot...that happened in Nazi Germany.

Magister comments on Mar 17, 2019:

Some people act with true altruism; they do not act in the expectation of some kind of return, nor because they imagine themselves in that predicament, they do it because it is the right thing to do. We should recognise that absolute selflessness does exist and it is to be emulated.

Freedompath replies on Mar 17, 2019:

@kmaz that is true, but I have been exposed to Jewish people who were for the Palestinians! My peers were never racist either and a friend converted to Judaism, so I have not been exposed to people against Jews. I once worked for a Jewish man, who had this office Mgr, that was a volatile person (from any work place ever for me), and when I gave a notice to leave I told him how I could not work with such a person and all he said to me was...’but, she has never taken a dime out of the till.’ And I am sitting there before this 85 year old man, thinking how his people were slaughtered and all he could think about was money! I have put myself in harms way before, and I will always stand against degradation of any kind! Just like I needed that job, but not at the expense of my well-being!

Your divorced. That means there's a possibility that you and your former spouse may get together again. I'm a Widower. That's permanent. Try going years without any kind of intimacy while you watch the one you Love fading away from something as insidious as cancer. Now I'm without the one I Love...

Freedompath replies on Mar 16, 2019:

@AncientNight well of course it is hard to forget all the sharing that the two of you had. It will just be different now, a new way to experience life with good and bad memories. It takes all of them to make us who are! So it is all good! My best to you!
