![]() The way I see it, is as parent's know what will hurt their children. They could beat that child and burn their hands and fill them with fear because they don't want them to experience harm, but that's not love. That's not caring or nurturing someone or teaching them or helping them to be safe. Deep down there's some kind of neglect. Or fear that's not reasoned with or carefully considered when that happens.
I don't know how to explain that. But that's how I feel about really extremist hard line conservative people who are hateful and haven't got love, don't feel loved. They are like those children who were abused by parents who just weren't at the right spiritual place to care for them properly. Always angry, always trying to show people how hot and dangerous and bad fire is by burning everyone at the stake. [You must be logged in to view images.

It just means we need to consider how they feel and how to treat them with respect so they don't turn even more rabid. It'd be nice if rabid wolves didn't exist or suffer, perhaps I should look into the metaphysics of rabid wolves? But sometimes it's better to just stay away from the forest and let nature take it's course rather than trying to rule over and dominate all of humankind. It would be hubris to think that I could fix or solve these problems on my own without the love and understanding of my fellow Americans. Or that it's in my power or my right to decide what's morally acceptable for you. But I can offer some respect in return so that you may follow your path. I hope those still searching find their integrity and honor one day. I know that I did. And that it has helped me to become a true American hero. Honorably discharged and respected by my fellow Americans. Loved and cared for ready to serve if the call ever goes out. | ||

We can disregard the background going forward, I SUPPOSE... I thought it was pretty relevant, but may be slightly bias. Interesting distinction you drew between pride and arrogance though. I think perception can make quite a challenge of differentiating the two.

![]() I would be there to help you get home if I could. Even if you were being mad while in a foxhole. I'd try. I'd care.

Pride is a valuable thing as long as you don't misdirect it, which is something we all do. Pride is best (imo) when it's a recognition of accomplishment, or work well done etc. National pride has little to no value to me. What are you proud of? being born in a geographic location? Buying an American flag isn't something to be proud of. Taking the time to properly consider political candidates, evaluate their positions and then voting them in an effort to improve a nation and thereby improving your life, your community etc? Sure. | |||

![]() Sometimes I fart and a tiny bit of wetness coats my anus. I routinely have to wipe throughout my day. Otherwise I get butt crust, which can stink real bad. Reminds me of this post.
