Nobody should inflict their bad hygiene, on anyone else, People should make an effort at all times, but especially if you know you are going to be close to someone, some scents can be overpowering, and that too is not nice. Gum or some kinds of sweets are good for fresh breath, No excuses!!
The recent JT and Stan debates have got me thinking...and for me, I come to a conclusion that the majority of Irish people are now hypocrites. When I think of the Church and its relationship with Irish people, I can sense quite a bit of anger...I think that's fine. Most of the population at some stage has ridiculed the Church organisation in Ireland. Many despise it. Again that's fine... My question concerns the issue as to why these people continue to go back to the Church for celebrations such as christenings, communions, confirmations, weddings, funerals, etc. They will decide to get married in churches and have their funerals in the church...yet they criticise the church at every other stage of their lives... I considered that it was just that these celebrations(Church) were a part of culture and would be difficult to change..But I don't think that is the reason. I think the reason is that people are inherently weak... Why do the members of CS feel about this? (Try to stay civilised and on top
I think you are quite right, in that very few people have the courage of their convictions, and it suits them/us to take part in celebrations in the church, when it suits.
Personally , there is just my funeral left to sort out, and i am looking into another way of letting family celebrate my exit from this world.
I have in the past used the church for celebrations,, but considered myself to be a good decent living person and didn't have any criticism of the church, so i don't feel like a hypocrite
Somehow Jt, you remind me of a farmer who once said to me that his daughter was gone into hospital to have her fourth child, he said it was a nice break for her, the sad thing is ,,, he meant it.
