I was seven. I was in Boston with my dad and I saw a homeless person. When I asked why he was homeless, my dad said he was probably hungry and slipped and had an accident that brought him to his current state. I asked why he doesn’t just get a home again - my dad said it costs too much, since he has to eat and support himself besides that now.
And that was it. Seeing someone who needed help and knowing the government, EVERYONE could help, but did nothing? That’s what made me a socialist. Because I didn’t want to sit by as people starved or sat out in the cold.
We live in an era where we can 3D print protein, where solar energy and wind turbines are a major power source. I do not care if some people lose money. I care if people live.
Every religion is mythology by nature - it just takes time to get there.
That’s what faith is. The belief in something against fact. It’s hope. I may not follow it, you may not, but it is faith, and you can believe it down to every letter. That is someone’s right.
This is one of the major reasons I’m an atheist. What God is all loving, is kind and all knowing, when I’ve experienced things that torment me every single second? I’ve been literally tortured - as in strapped to someone and had my skin PEELED OFF OF MY BODY by someone who was meant to LOVE me. And if God is real, then that God is evil. God cannot be all knowing and all kind. Not when I’ve suffered as I have.
I intend to play HEMA, which is… aggressive, so, to me, no. If one enjoys winning more than the overall experience, maybe? But I just like the fun.
So you jumped the gun on me because I said something fair to anyone who could possibly say something like that, nice.
Once again, this is insane to say. Suffering may be part of a plan, but it certainly wasn’t a part of mine. To look at someone who went through trauma and tragedy and say it was part of a plan? That is just… it is stupid.
Okay does punctuation not exist to you? Do you refuse to utilize anything that is not a number or letter? Not to mention, Wattpad is the one some writers use to get discovered - and it has worked. Rarely, but it has. You can find good writing on it, though it is rare. So, for the love of fuck, stop saying smug and weird shit like this - it’s degrading to the people on Wattpad who aren’t children.
yeah thats my grandma too, my nana is 84 and is the sweetest woman I’ve ever met. She prays for everyone, bakes for everyone, and was a nurse. Sweet woman.
