In response to "Keep on trying."

I hear you! I do my best to do things well enough and I keep at them, but I'm not going to kill myself because if keeping at something useless, the effort I put in is useless. When I realize that I quit.
I admire what you did with the fish pond and it made me smile. And to think that you did it in one day! Wow!

In response to "Capital punishment "

The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.

In response to "Texting "

I think texting is detrimental to our communication skills because so many people use emoticons and abbreviations that when it comes to actual conversations they've forgotten how to use words. It drives me crazy when my granddaughters are texting while we're trying to have an actual conversation. I've said on more than one occasion what is it going to take to have your undivided attention. In my home, cell phones are shut off between 5:00-7:00 for family interaction time.

In response to "Blessings "

Excellent point! I have to take time out now and then just to say to myself, you have nothing to complain about when compared to others. I have a small medical condition but not life threatening. I am 79, see good, hear good, walk good - no complaints I say. So we do need to remind ourselves how good we have it.

I guess as you get older it comes before us more, like for Willie Nelson in his 90s. Age is a big factor. But, since we have no real control on age, we all age, we must make the best of it.

Blessings to you, and thanks for reminding me how go I have it!

Forgive me

Prompt: forgiveness
“Forgiveness is a complex thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love.”
Fred Rogers
What do you think about the prompt and/or do you think forgiveness is always a solution to problems?

Forgiveness is one thing but being able to forget a hurt, a slight, or even a fist, is another thing entirely.
I have experienced many times when someone’s actions caused me emotional pain and because they’re family I’ve forgiven. I’ve tried to understand their reasons for doing or saying what they did but I’ve never forgotten though, because that’s impossible. I can possibly forgive hurts to myself but if anyone hurt a loved one of mine that would be difficult.
The quote says it’s harder to forgive a loved one and that’s probably because it seems incomprehensible that someone who professes to love you can also hurt you.

There was a family a while back whose three children had gone to buy an ice cream. They’d been walking on the pavement when a speeding car ran into them and killed them instantly. The parents were of Muslim faith and they fronted up to the news cameras and said that they forgave that driver,. They said they did it because if they allowed him to fill their hearts full of hatred it would totally destroy their lives too.
Maybe losing your kids like that would be easier to bear if one had a religious faith and accepted it was God’s will.
