how do we survive our soul crushing world?

[Walker]

Life is the measure of all things.

What is it that humans try to preserve at all costs?

Hint: it isn't life.

[Walker]

"how do we survive our soul crushing world?"

We don't.

Then according to some, we go to hell if we didn't follow Christ.

Your analysis is based on an implication that you foist upon the thread title, thereby changing the meaning of the thread title to suit your view. Here is what you are actually responding to. It is the implication within the answer of the question you created, a question that holds a meaning you imply that is not in the original question. You are in fact answering your new question, to wit:

Q: how do we survive longer than our soul crushing world?
A: We don't.

Here's another implication, although you'll probably prefer yours. Like you did, I created a new thread title with this implication, and responded to it.

Q: How do we survive within our soul crushing world?
A: You are but one example of how. Look to yourself.


Don't worry. Everyone likes to do the implication thing; it's like doing The Locomotion.

Some people lose their souls in this soul-crushing world, and become brutalised. Others are not allowed to thrive compared with how they may have been had they been taught to think and feel.

Two aims in this soul- crushing world .
1. Just violence to oppose brutality.

2. The best possible education, shelter, and recreation equally for all regardless of class, nationality, race, sex, age, and native ability.

There is a world of hate in 1.
And 2 is merely a political solution. Trouble is that being provided for is not always a solution to soul matters. Ultra rich people can be pretty souless too.

Hate is a fact of life and going to war is sometimes justifiable.

We are political animals and we can't keep our souls as immaculate as the day we were born. Dusty souls are not lost souls.

Yeah but rolling stones gather no dust, Belinda.

Or is it moss. Wait I think it's moss nevermind.

War is the means by which the rich fight their battles using the poor. No- there are no justifications for war.

Dusty souls ...

Dusty Souls. That's a great name for a band or an avatar, but dare it be used for a pet name?

You don't like the answer I gave. That's fine. The difference between you and I seems to be a matter of perspective not a matter of truth or falsity. If you're fine accepting life on life's terms, go for it.

[Walker]

You don't like the answer I gave. That's fine.

Duh. Fine goes without saying, although your perception of Fine's cause is skewed by personal misapprehension.

go for it.

Goferit = go for it.

Commentary:
In this instance of goferiting which is limited by circumstances and situation, simply add an L to the moniker of Goferit*, in just the right place, then mix in some talent and dedication and voilà, you have a recipe for a form of your unrequited "good life." That particular form may not apply to you personally, but there are things you know better than anyone. Embrace that by never being ashamed of who you are, and you've already done that. Continue by dropping the "-un," and you're halfway to "requite."

How's that you say? What do you think?




* That would make a nice ironic T-shirt. Start a business and franchise it so folks can sit in vacant corner lots guarding their portable inventory.

If British airmen had not fought the Battle of Britain we would have been overrun by Nazis.

If Ukrainians had surrendered to Putin they would have lost their freedom to a bad man and his bad regime.

IF german pilots had not been bombing the UK there would be no need for British airmen
And... BTW
We are overrun by Nazis.
No war required

If Ukrainians had surrendered to Putin they would have lost their freedom to a bad man and his bad regime.

Oh Bad man.
If the US and the EU had not been conspiring to control Ukraine and other neighbours of Russia there may have been no war.
It always takes two to tango.

What am I "misapprehending". It looked like a pretty straightforward question to me.

[Walker]

Gary, it has nothing to do with like. It's all about troof.
