I can work on both myself as well as returning the favour to them in my free time.
I also don't have to go at it alone. I'll have my family affected as well in this scenario. I'll have their support as well, no?
It's not about instant gratification. He's not "god". In his religion, even his "god" got nailed to a tree...
Sure, but why? What does it gain you? You're certainly not hurting them.
That's between you and your family. But if you're working on yourself the way you should be, whether you have their support or not shouldn't matter. Though you should also probably be teaching them to do the same thing.
I don't care what it's not about. I care what it's about. If it's about doing better for yourself, then concentrate on that. You're wasting your energy doing otherwise.
I don't think it's wise to lay down arms in every case. I believe in fighting to make a better tomorrow for others that I won't live to see.
I'll continue to do right by myself. Try to make my life better the best I can with the limited resources I have. That doesn't mean I have I stop hating the overlords and not throw a wrench in their machine every chance I get.
Basically, I'm not as nice as you or Jesus.
It's not about being nice. If it were up to me I'd hang the lot of them from the CN Tower and call it good. But it's not up to me, and that wrench you're throwing isn't getting anywhere near their machine.
Gotta keep trying then. In hopes it might eventually reach the machine.
I find it very difficult to just admit defeat and do absolutely nothing.
You're not doing nothing, though. You're making your own life better, which is the only thing you can control. Otherwise what you're actually doing is making your arm tired for no damn good reason.
The monkey is still alive and well in my DNA.
The urge to fling poo if all else fails is strong...
Well, that'll accomplish things for sure. No guarantees they'll be things you want, but like I said... you're gonna do what you're gonna do. It's a free country.
Just out of curiosity reading this whole thread. What outside of whinging on Lemmy are you doing? Are you doing anything offline?
Yes. You?
I don't necessarily believe you. If you were you wouldnt be so ornery online as stated it's just wasted energy. Screams of someone in a basement at a keyboard.
Me? I'm too busy raising 3 kids and protecting my family and their future to care. Control what I can and accept what I can't. I feel the government here in Canada is in as good of hands as I could hope for.
