Good Morning.

Freedompath comments on May 19, 2019:

I am so sorry that you are in this lonely place inside you. I have many times been there, and I have a good idea what you must feel like. It sounds like you have meaningful things going for you. First you take charge of you...even as you take yourself to a Starbucks, but would rather be someplace else. I believe this kind of loneliness has two components, first it may be a part of our human nature searching for our meaning and second, our culture and media promotes gleeful connections in all our human interactions...so why does our lives not look like this? Because, the average households...at least in this Country do not come close to this promoted idealism! We are sold a dramatized version of real life! We will never be able to have our life resemble this unreal living, even if we had the family, friends, house, cars, career and vacations that get piped in to our personal spaces, daily! This kind of living, does not allow for our ‘search for meaning!’ Because, to do that, we must know what it means when we find ourselves completely alone with only our lost and imperfect self! A quote from my past says...’an unexamined life is not worth living.’ When we choose or are forced into that part of our nature...it is scary, we have no idea what all lurks in all of our nature, after all we work hard to be acceptable before the world and to ourselves! But, what could be hidden in the deepest part of our nature...maybe something evil, we can’t know for sure until we have ‘searched ourselves.’ So I believe, a big part of this loneliness is a search for ourselves. But, as you are already doing, you must ‘work it out’...not deny it or try and block it out, with external distractions! This cannot give us insight into who we really are and what it means to be ‘us.’ This is just what I have found in my search to make a life. I hope this helps you a little.

Freedompath comments on May 17, 2019:

It would be hard to live in a house divided...unless both parties can allow the other person to hold their truth, without taking it on as a personal affront to themselves! I think our beliefs govern how we live our life, not dictate our every thought and action! If two partners can have a common purpose to support each person’s individualality that makes up that unit, then having different religious beliefs would not be the bargaining chip, that holds people together. Each person’s humanity would be the guiding force. This is hard to accomplish, if prior ground work has not been laid out! Your situation if far from uncommon in this present age...we can struggle with adult children who have developed completely different views about religion or lack there of! It is not an easy struggle...so we choose the best route that we can work with and go from there. Best of luck!

Freedompath comments on May 16, 2019:

I’m so sorry things look so bleak at the moment. My suggestion would be to withdraw into your self at the moment. Your body is trying to get your attention, stop and give it your attention. Stear clear of your friend, on any discussion surrounding trump at the moment or abortion. Instead of bringing her around, these discussions are pulling you down. Your conversation with your friend sounded a lot like my daughter! It is baffling... don’t they see pretty much the same news that we do? I must just put aside her (my daughter) distorted perceptions of reality and look for the other worthy traits that she does have, when I am around her. The way I see it now, my daughter doesn’t appear to be in danger (so I have no need to worry about that), and so our differences puts us on the opposite sides of serious issues. I will have to face my anger over her position that makes it harder for me, as I see myself fighting for all of us (it seems to me). But, that is not how my daughter sees it...and as far as I can see, she has not softened toward my position, no matter how clearly I have laid out the facts and fake news! It really hurts to know that anyone is that blind, much less than it is my own daughter! Today it occurred to me that if she was an addict, I think I would have the same hopeless feeling that she is somehow lost! And, I can’t seem to do a single thing to help her! But, at least SHE is not in danger, so I will need to put my attention elsewhere, where there is bound to be problems! These people somehow, cannot see outside their tunnel vision...so we must out number them or their beliefs will be forced on us! But, what will happen when we force our beliefs on them? They seem not to understand that we stand for choice...let the individual decide...these people can decide to not have an abortion! But, they do not have the right to force their choice on anyone else! Stay in your truth, and allow others to do the same...even when we may end up on opposite sides! It is a delimma to me, but we all must maintain our health so that we don’t go under.

But, what we can do is stand and speak in our truth. There may not be much that we can do, to change the ideas these trump type cultist are helping to promote.
