Again, putting words in people's mouths. Which makes your answer worthless as it is then a strawman.
Being lectured by an idiot who regularly trips over his own balls is not going to trouble me in the slightest, dear.
sweetheart you said you did not understand therefore no one can by quoting a man who said that very thing. thats what quotes/meme do.. they illustrate or demonstrate how you feel by using the words of someone who had your sentiment first/said it better. in this case socrates said several different times over the course of his life. he prized ignorance, in a time where knowledge/scientific knowledge was in it's infancy. because when people did not know or understand something they attributed it to myth or legend. so if i got your sentiment wrong it means you QUOTED THE WRONG PERSON OR USED THE WRONG QUOTE. the fault is with your ability to align your thoughts with the intended quote.

im doing 10 different things today and talking with 3 different people. plus my dog died (the 2nd one)
you said i was a bad example of no cost salvation ie all the pain and hardship..
I'm trying to say i am a bad example as basic salvation does not requires these things.
my pain and hardship comes from my desire to share and teach.
this is not something most people deal with. most people salvation is free. and not only are you saved you now have direct access to god.
if you mean to say anything else i am lost.
Drich, I have not agreed with you on much, I mean literally very little.
You constantly make me want to pull my hair out. I can't lie about that. But I've lost pets myself, and that always sucks.
Outside my current cat, still alive today, the pet's death that tore me up the most was my late mother's lab "Honey" whose been the only dog I ever truly bonded with as much as I do now with my current cat. But Honey's death is still separate that the story I am about to tell you.
During my time living with my mother, I had a tabby I got when I was still living in central Virginia. My x and I got divorced and I kept Payton and moved in a couple years later with my mom after I got divorced. Cats get old, and Payton did. So 2006/2007 New Years Eve Payton starts fussing and catterwalling, and I figured I could wait until the holiday was over to take him to the vet. Nope, Payton died shortly after the ball drop that night. It tore me up. He died on my bed.
I was severely depressed for a couple of weeks. It may have seemed cruel, which it did to me at the time, but my mom got tired of my depression and literally shouted at me, "THATS IT, YOU ARE GETTING ANOTHER CAT!" I cried at the time thinking she was being insensitive, but looking back at it now, I am so happy she kicked me in my balls. My current cat is my best friend. And it was because of my mom I have Sarah now.
I can't speak for your dog, but I can say while I was living with my mom, I had my prior cat and her lab in the same house. Her lab was the best, and I am not a dog fan. Honey was fucking awesome. She was always playful and mellow and always looked at everyone as a potential friend.
It killed me even with Honey, her dog, for my mom to to insist I Euthanize Honey, because of her old age and arthritis. Honey was the only dog in my entire life I had come in contact with, that I felt like was a friend, or family, as much as I feel my now aging cat Sarah is now.
Point is, pets are as much family as humans.
