Hi there, So I posted about a parasite evolving with the host of the parasite, and it dawned on me that maybe Evolution goes the other way: maybe a particular individual who evolves greatly, is more greatly copied by the population with him. In other words, there is a social pressure to...

Share your Bible quote and soft skill on how to handle such a person. Assume there is a higher authority colleague who has such an attitude and used to give commandments. Say when you query and try to understand his commandment or requirement, then he is unable to answer but pinpoint your...

At a time when mainstream science is increasingly rejected by people on the fringes of society, how can science promote facts and evidence, relating to matters of pressing concern, like covid19? How can we distinguish between credible scientists and noncredible scientists when scientists are...

I started practicing meditation and all the new age bologna, and it very quickly brought me right to God. "knock, and He will answer" indeed. So in the meditations, or prayer, He sometimes shows me great images, or teaches me amazing lessons. It is hard to explain to people, when I try, it's...

I was just now reading a post, and reading the first paragraph I was thinking, "WHAT AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT!!!, then I got to the next paragraph, and realized, "No, I was just reading that paragraph out of context" On reading further, I was thinking, "Wow! This guy is GOOD! He thinks just like ME...

An increasingly large group of people on the political left in the US have advocated for some rather non-traditional definitions of words in the past decade or so.... As such, they frequently don't know what they mean or what others mean when they say these words. I thought it would be...

I was recently reading Genesis 2 and 3 and among another point I noticed something I had overlooked in the past and probably for the same reason I had overlooked the other thing I started another thread about; in all of my learned teachings and sermons upon God's Word the theme of the Creation...

A recent post inspired this thread. I would like to broach the subject lovingly. :) Socially awkward people feel out of sync with those around them. The consequences of social awkwardness include: Rejection Unkind remarks Self-doubt (wondering if you've done something wrong) Difficulty making...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums. I joined because I don't have anyone I can talk to about my marriage and some of the struggles we are going through. I'm in need of some advice. See I've been married for 2 years now, and everyone always told me "communication is key". So I entered marriage...

...yes! That's right! I'm just mulling over one of Grace VanderWaal's songs and thinking, "Self, don't you feel like this sometimes? Maybe, a lot of the time? I wonder if other folks feel like I do? Short of empathy; short of insight; short on words?" Do you ever feel like you wish you...

I am constantly bumping up against what I think is a new and sad conception of who a real friend is these days. It seems like people today think that a real friend is one who validates, agrees with, supports, or "likes" whatever you say/think regardless of its validity, correctness, or...

Over a period of time the intimacy stopped. My husband would sleep in the guest bedroom bc he snores loud, drinks, and comes to bed much later than I do. Eventually this became an every night thing. He said he would go to the doctor to find out why he was snoring so badly but he never did. He...

Matthew 12:35-37 (NKJV) "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words...

On more than a couple occasions lately, something I've said was misunderstood or thought to be much more than what was intended. I try to take my time while writing, considering how something might be taken, looking for unintended alternate meanings, and considering how the receiver might...
