What a great bit of history! I wonder if, like many peoples who have migrated to other lands, they brought something of their traditions with them — food, music, etc. The Welsh are know for their fine choral traditions, for instance. Too few US residents appreciate how diverse their American neighbors are, I think.

A great and courageous thinker, I think. Sadly, after the revolution, many of his former friends and allies distanced themselves from him — even Jefferson — because he was so open and uncompromising about his atheism. They often agreed with him, but hid behind their “deism,’ which was more socially acceptable.

First read Conrad when young, and have ever since been captivated by his style and his darkly nuanced vision of life and morally ambivalent take on humanity. Fans of another Joseph — Campbell — might recognize that most of the ”heroes” in Conrad’s tales are of the “wounded king” type: fatally flawed in the Greek Tragedy sense.
Conrad’s family came from the same area, ethnic background and class as mine; we both had the same first language and learned English later in life; were both merchant mariners and later, journalists. I only wish that I was half as good a writer as he!

I see this as very good news: As a bookish kid who fell in love with libraries when quite young; improved my English-language skills, educated myself on many topics not touched upon in school and went farther than my teachers could on others, and eventually worked my way through college as an employee of my county’s public library system, I can only be encouraged by the thought that libraries will continue to offer enlightenment, comfort and support to many others in the future!

I'm always proud to have this said of me: Hard work is exhilarating and liberating. But I work for myself and with, not for, others. The concepts of “retirement” and the label of “employee” do not apply. The toxic assumption behind this conversation seems to be less about work and more about the acceptance of servility.

That being said, I have, and have had, several close female friends, and they enrich my life in many ways, often our differences being a key factor in opening my eyes to new things and perspectives.

It just amazes me that these ridiculous, stupid and hateful old ideas still have traction. People want answers, and will embrace "answers" about life's problems that make them feel special, or better than others. They want to lay blame. What they don't want, or aren't equipped to tackle, are the complexities of their world and their situations. In a way, isn't this the flip side of a desire to blame or credit some god for what goes on in the world?

The-Krzyz comments on Oct 11, 2018:
Yes, I’m glad its fading. I would never use the term, which I see as a rather weak attempt at public relations in the name of the a community that really needs to speak clearly about who we are, what we believe - and don’t - in the face of continued marginalization and purposeful misinterpretation.

Is the solution to "hate speech" more speech or less speech?
The-Krzyz comments on Oct 12, 2018:
I think stupid, destructive and deceptive information thrives among audiences that have poor judgement. Poor judgement thrives in environments that limit experience and information. Access to more speech and information better equips people to be able to make up their own minds without a need to “protect” them. Once someone decides to protect me from dangerous ideas, its a short hike to censorship of unpopular ideas in general.

Everyone says their religion is the right one.
The-Krzyz comments on Oct 13, 2018:
OK: Beyond the obvious (that we tend not to learn much after death ... ), the attitude that "my gods are the only ones" is a feature of monotheism. Polytheistic faiths tended to believe that it was natural for different peoples to have their own gods, and if your neighbors had a particularly intriguing one, it was OK to borrow it and add it to your own. Folks fought plenty of wars back then, but they didn't have what we think of as "religious wars." Those came with the dawn of the "world faiths" we know today.

I think I’m in a similar place, philisophically. To my understanding, atheism is simply a rejection of the idea of a god or gods. For most folks, this is also a rejection of religion, as the religion(s) they know are based on belief in gods. Some religions, however, are Philosophically godless in some forms, such as Classical Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Many of us wrestle with the question of whether we reject supernaturalism in any form, including much of what’s called “spirituality.” I can’t say I positively “believe there are no gods,” rather that I am not in any way convinced that such beings exist either through any arguement or through what I observe in the world around me. My world doesn’t need gods, and works just fine without them!

The-Krzyz comments on Nov 3, 2018:
I may be hazy on all the options, but I know renouncing US citizenship as part of the process of establishing citizenship in another country is one way, and serving in the armed forces of another country can lead to loss of citizenship.

It can lead to trying new things, however, and give some perspective to even bad experiences.

Not sure I can get behind the "in this day and age" part. In most ways, we are not that different from our ancestors, except that we are less clever and less adaptable. Just because we have all these gadgets and toys doesn't mean we have really evolved much. Science -- REAL science -- is a shining exception, but it is still under attack by lesser and more fearful minds.

Nothing like hot bread right out of the oven.
The-Krzyz comments on Nov 10, 2018:
Wonderful! As a kid, my mom baked a lot, but two breads stand out in my memory: banana bread with chopped walnuts; and challa, a type of braided egg bread that made it's appearance each year around the Spring Equinox. Best thing about the challa was ripping off pieces by hand while it was still hot, and melting butter on it before popping it into our mouths. She always had to bake two loaves, as the first one didn't last long!

Lordy, yes! My first post on this site questioned the value/validity of "spirituality." I got a few nods in agreement, but was thoroughly whacked by many, many members who got offended, defensive, some even a bit nasty about it. Now, I live life as a fugitive, always looking over my shoulder, haunted, hunted by minions of the New Age, threatening me with "energy," "higher power," and improbable yoga postures. It's kinda fun.

Is it right to feel paternal over a pet?
The-Krzyz comments on Nov 11, 2018:
I wouldn’t call it “paternal,” but I’ve always felt a sense of kinship with many of the animals I encounter. Some have been pets; others “ fellow travelers,” like the three semi-feral cats I inherited from my late sister; or the several raccoons and possums that share my property; and even the varied critters I cross paths with in the wild. Not that I sentimentalize nature, but maybe respond to an “animal-to-animal magnetism!”

Depression Looks Different For Everyone
The-Krzyz comments on Nov 17, 2018:
Like a lot of mental health diagnoses, it's an umbrella term that covers a wide range of experiences. When I'm not well, I'm not necessarily even sad or "down on myself." But, I'm out of energy and lose interest in doing things, even things I love doing. So, I've learned not to fight it, but to give it room, and give myself time to recharge my batteries, confident that I'll eventually come out OK on the other side. I've also developed a sense of when an episode might be on the way, and try to take a step back from stress or overextending myself. This works pretty well for me.

The-Krzyz comments on Nov 20, 2018:
I have forbidden any kind of service, including a eulogy, when people figure out that I am no more. Instead, I have this crazy idea: I am working on a podcast, about an hour long, with a little commentary, but mostly carefully selected music which will be my final meditation on life and death. That way, it’s portable in terms of both time and space. Having lots of fun putting it together!

Yeah. I've learned through hard times what things I really need to both survive and be happy, and that's not really that much. Of those things, most of them are to be found the world around me, which I need access to, as opposed needing to possess. I'm lucky in that I have more than enough of such people, things and circumstances, and I've worked hard to learn about life and the world, make good choices and empower myself to not be too dependent on others for happiness. Without
dependency, when I DO find happiness through others, it seems freer, purer and more abundant..
