Mktavish Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I was listening to a radio station couple days ago. Don't know how my truck radio got there ? But was about how there is shaming towards being a home maker mother role.And they specifically said about european society. Which I do not know because I have only been on the US contintent. However having grown up with this mind set being a mormon from salt lake valley.I am struck with the question of ... what hardship did this molly mormon suffer due to some facebook shaming ? How comparable is this occurrence to that of shaming 50 - 100 years ago in the reverse ?Plus it can merely be chalked up to more people being more connected . And if you can't understand societal evoluti0n ... D0 you have a place IN IT !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted54170User Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I just finished reading a book's parts a mentor gave me. The words to think about and share if I found my mind created any to write or speak about. Where is your journey at now? I'm asked. Not you. Me! Have I a place in society? I understand big words. I read about Socrates's life. Not in his own words. I have a manner much in the way he defused the explosive cities youths minds. That is before the youths accused him of a variety of wrongdoing. I read the whole documented story about Socrates. Think of your words like blocks of letters stacked up until they have achieved a height that can be seen from far across the city. Your parents are worried that the other youths on the other side of town might find them opposing, supposing things in their own minds that could fuel a skirmish from both schools to end up with unsportsman acts occurring on the streets. Curses! A chance of losing a child who excels in the sport so well might end up before the school's game. Before the day the sport is played a child might be hurt in a street brawl. So they call on Socrates. The philosopher. A respected educator. Your words stack high in your mind, the words you think you, think are assuring you that you have every rite to stand tall and defend your idea. Even if your words do make you think your idea is better than your competitions, will they stand up to the test? And now I call in Socrates. He looked me in the eyes. Have you fed them yet? Not knowing why he asked, I cared not really, I replied, "Yes!" So begins what Socrates does. Are you ready for me to introduce you to Socrates?

Deleted54170User Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 You clearly have not been fed yet. For your intent is with a tool meant to bring down the object of your stomachs desire. If some man or woman stands between you and the dining room table you will fuss, but if fed you will shush and Socrates will then enter in.

Gwork Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 About freedom hm I could go into details, but I got this: And that goes for America, Europe and other parts in the world. We´re not totaly free. Humans live in a illusion of freedom. Money is for a tiny group of rich people more important, as anyone of us. Democracy, Communism, Socialism etc. etc. they try to keep us "down". No one rules if no one obeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivionaddicted Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Freedom is the just balance between the ability to do what you want and the necessary constraints to prevent everybody from trampling the others' rights. Freedom is not only a matter of will but also of knowledge, reason, priorities and strategy. democracy is a utopia but it will always remain worth fighting for.

Deleted67195711User Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Do not confuse democracy with freedom. Democracy simply assumes that the majority respects the freedom of all. How does that reconcile with Reservations, Concentration Camps, Interment Camps, Ghettos, ... How does that reconcile with Jim Crow, Lynch, Slavery, Forced Labor ... No, democracy is not the same as freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
