No one is especially unique.
customizable:
We all go through the same basic life events and come to similar conclusions. What’s interesting and beautiful about the human experience though is that all we take in, the essential makeup of our beings, all of it is subjective. If you and I read the same book or watch the same movie, everything that has separately happened to us in our pasts will affect the way we interpret that...

Exist in a state of gratitude in the present—so that you don’t lose sight of what you have and where you are, and so that you can be happy—, and carry with you hope for the future—so that you can happily move on from this moment to the next.

“spring wind took my list of things to do away”
“I hope this old train breaks down / Then I could take a walk around / And, see what there is to see / And time is just a melody”

If Jesus is such a great moral teacher and worthy of listening to, as he wanted, then you have to take all of his teachings. to pick apart what he said and remove the “God” bits is to not take what he said seriousl and to therefore not believe what he said; it discredits his teachings to remove certain parts as false or unnecessary. There are only so many options for how to proceed....

(Just adding a little to what I’ve said before: here and here)
A lot of fiction is written to pull you out of reality, to push this world away from you for a little, while the story lasts; but some fiction does just the opposite. Some really good fiction pulls you in, and in secret and hidden ways draws you closer to this world. Those are the truly good, lasting fictions; the ones that are...
