Well, that's the problem when people don't question. I can frankly never understand why anyone would prefer to live in ignorance, when all you have to do is ask why, or in this case take a look at a passage in the bible. To let self-justified rage get in the way of friendship and not admitting something when you're wrong just because you just might lose face, is beyond me.
Quote:It's hard to explain large concepts to little ones. I am pretty great with analogies (like Jesus), so I put them to good use. I try to find ways to explain larger concepts in ways that relate to their world. I put a lot of thought and effort into how I parent my children. I think everyone should, if they're going to have them.
Keep up the good work, I hope that your children will be able to appreciate what you've done for them
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
