Jolanta comments on May 6, 2020:

It all depends in what country this is in. The US who professes itself to be democratic and full of freedom is not, especially when it comes to religion.

Safety versus freedom. Make of that what you will. Any thoughts?

Jolanta comments on May 6, 2020:

No point of having freedom if you are sick or worse dead.

I'm bragging a bit.

Isn't it enough. If not then you are not enjoying life. If you are dead nothing matters.

For those of you who believed in life after death before: do you struggle more now when people die?

Jolanta comments on May 3, 2020:

Well, I would be really pissed off if I had to see some of the dead people I used to know again. Like my two ex husbands, that would really piss me off if I had to put up with them again in afterlife.

There used to be a kind of stigma about dating sites/apps like the lonely hearts club once upon a time was somehow frowned upon. It is not so anymore, so you just go ahead and use them. Just use your wits about you and be safe, don't get into anything you feel uncomfortable about and good luck.

There are not two people on earth who would have the same desires or hobbies one always has to compromise or give up one’s interests. Most people are together because they are afraid of being alone.
