Already on it. Saving spools of wick too because, sadly I fear a worse timeline than that of America.

You see my brother, he died years ago. Homeless, been everywhere here and there. Bipolar and bottom of the barrel. It hurts to say this but it is truthful.

He told my mom 3 things that have stuck with me. 1. I am her compensation for all her suffering. 2. He was sent by god. 3. His old gang was being wiped out, his time was coming.

I called him deluded by some undiagnosed condition.

Now here I am. Just scared because I followed my heart and it led me here too. I wanted a peaceful life, but I have knowledge if not for people, but for the new life humanity is birthing.

2 millennia of history, it is hard to catch up.

It makes me happy that you too fear. It feels like maybe I am not alone in carrying all this pain, that it is worth continuing. That I feel the burden for people who truly want to see love and kindness proliferate.

I completely agree with you.

White people are just frustrated equality means feeling burdens, pains, and other things equally. By all carrying a little, you can carry a whole lot. However, I’ve learned it comes from a place of comfort. They think the world around them is sound, that rules exist and structure permeates. They are but babies to reality. Even the christians among them do not understand the misery and suffering the bible speaks of.

Those that propagate these lies, they witness not injustices but a system they can exploit. They are the demons that keep us awake at night and fearing our safety.

You start protecting the community but who is paying you, your rent, or your food? You have to start charging and now you’re another tax. Tensions rise. And yes this would impact drug trafficking which is usually lethal. Note, junkies are relatively safe, dont get between their drugs or stare and you are good.

Trying to do good is difficult because by definition, the only good thing you can do is retain the status quo. Any change will have negative repercursions.

A good goal quickly deteriorates when the power structure forces you to deal with the devil. And where does he reside?

Atheists can be christians by believing in the structure provided through it, atheism is just not believing in god.

I do not believe in a greater being, I believe in man. Even Jesus himself did not claim to be of god but of man, and that he was purely a messenger.

Buddhist’s can be primarily Christians as well, however they adhere not to just one guide of knowledge. That’s the weakness with my experience in western life, I was born christian. I saw buddhism as a differing way of life, while it really is more structural and philosophical to me than spiritual.

Dramatization and symbolism is lost when talking about something as complex as religion.

The bible itself is a collection of texts, your spiritualism and religion doesn’t end there. It is something you live, endure, question, and eventually absolve yourself of through determination. It’s more just a guise for talking about our mortality, consequences, acknowledgements, and the thereafter.

So in the wake of death, your own or any you love, you have to imagine them. You will miss them and wish it were true, in it you will find your spark. You will awaken the ability to see the suffering, phantoms and demons everyone carries. However in such suffering you will savor the most delicate of kindness, appreciate the little passing moments.

In that you awaken the sharingan royalty free eyeball to see something you couldn’t before. I don’t think it is god, rather passion for the nectar of life. Regardless of hardships.

For context. Catholic raised. Buddhist by 11. Sikh by 18. Eventually found Sri Ramakrishna’s teachings in a little free library this year. All while atheist - and now I question that, as this book allowed me to believe something I never could.

Normally theyre called gangs. The thing that made the black panthers special is that as a cause it was killed before it deteriorated. A lot of gangs form to protect from other gangs, police corruption, and general sense of community.

Usually most folks aren’t willing to do things free, so it devolves as it grows. Loses the original basis for formation. It’s why christians is a confusing term, you have atheists, catholics, buddhists, etc. All lumped in while all can and are christian, there is degrees of severity.
