  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The friend that I would be close to lives in another state and we both live busy, workaholic lives so we rarely communicate at all and when we do, it's via text. Most of what I have are people who are regulars at cigar shops and restaurants I frequent.
Understand!

If you have a fulfilling single life, how do you do it?

I have no idea how to do this.
Like any other life, it's a work in progress. You never "arrive", you're never finished working on it, you never get to the point where you're like "OKAY, I've completed the task of creating a totally fulfilled life, I can just stop now!"

There will also be different definitions of what a "fulfilled" life looks like, depending on the person you're asking. One might say that it involves a big, active circle of friends, enjoying lots of social events, climbing the corporate ladder, going to the gym every day. Another might say that their fulfilling single life is having a cozy, quiet home, lots of beloved books to read, time to relax and take life at a slow pace.

So, I think the key is to get well acquainted with yourself. Your mind, heart, and soul. And then build a life that nurtures who you are as a person, whatever that may look like. Don't grasp for dates or relationships out of loneliness or desperation, but find contentment in just being YOU. It's not always easy to be alone in our own company, but it's one of the most valuable skills any person can strive for.
