I see religion as an assertion in the impossible (or the most improbable at least) that give reasons to deny the meathook realities of our actual lives. No real death, all suffering is your fault or has some meaning in "extra innings" of existence. What does afterlife even mean?
Another suggestion is to not shut down your PC every time you stop using it. I have had very few issues in decades of Windows use. I almost never shut my PC off.
Diseases as bad and worse than Corona have scourged humanity longer than we have words for and all the rest as well, before your Christ was meme and no doubt long after you and I and any who witness this breathe our last.
Love is warm feelings that one has for another someone or something. Like beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder. It's application is as varied as there are people and moods.
I suppose that is the equivalent or what men get as well, the broken wing, I have been hurt badly, playing the sympathy card gamesters.
Not the first thing I bring up, but I am a widower, and no doubt many women have been hurt. Sad that the fast and false can push out the true and good rather quickly.
You could go with the "we are here to praise a god in this life, as a test to see if we can go on doing the same thing later for all eternity" This would seem a vain and pointless existence. Why are we here, it is where we come from and we do not survive anywhere else. Beauty is a product of our minds and senses, not of the world itself. Yes, we follow the same path as all other living things, born to live long enough to make another generation, marriage optional. Why sickness and death? Life does not require forever to do its work and one form lives by the death of another, Life makes no favorites and death is the price of ever having lived.
For me, it makes more sense that there is no purpose or plan to the world we experience. It would seem the more simple explanation, with greater explanatory power.
Some would say you will know in an "End" and some say you will never know. I say the question is moot.
Security is a feeling one may have, It does not reflect on the actual safety and utility of a relationship. Desire is universal, whether one feels secure or not. If one feels abandoned, emotionally or physically, going outside a monogamous relationship is virtually assured. For many, loving one and being loved by one is important in itself, for others fidelity is understanding, compassion and honesty. For me to leave these latter aside would leave me insecure and that my partner may physically and emotionally care for another does not. I was married for just short of 16 years, we were both completely faithful within the bounds of our mutual understanding. I have lived with my new partner for the last 5 years and feel and receive more love in our non-monogamy than ever I did within it. Security comes both from without and within.
Indeed, we should set all alleged murders free as their alleged victims surely had it coming and if they had actually done wrong then Karma will provide. How very progressive and fair minded of you!
It would depend. If it was clear that this was outside the bound of their relationship, I would lose respect and She would go home alone or at least without me.
Were it equally clear that she was polyamorous or otherwise non-monogamous, She may still go home alone, but with my respect.
Greetings Catfoot, When I become the expert on anything, it will only reveal the general decline in human expertise. No doubt due to the INTHE crash and a general lack of dating site blogs with exclusive dating content. (for the record, I would consider myself a near illiterate) P.S. miclee, I may take your bet, what are your terms?
