What is currently on your mind?

[Robban]

Oh yeah, glad I have the kind of depression that makes me sleepy compared to the kind of depression that makes one an insomniac.

Unless you're alluding to death... yeah, it's not the same as sleep... I guess part of me finds it alluring to pretend death is like one big eternal sleep.

No, I was not alluding to death, heaven forbid.

In any case you will get well again.

Been like this for about 12 years now. It's very possible I will never get better.

Seems like my mind is only becoming more and more unhinged as the years go by. Sometimes I like to fool myself that I'm just too strong as a reason I haven't killed myself years ago, but it's probably instead just extreme cowardness. I'm just a person who should have been dead long ago, and my mind is just slowly being squished into mush. I'm a product of extreme cowardness. An interesting anomaly of a man who's still living despite every reason he shouldn't.

Have you heard of the Yetzer Hara?

Also known as the evil inclination.

We are all born with one, except for a very rare few.

Stop listening to his filth.

You are needed, you have a purpose that no one else can fulfill.

Just think how many threads you have created here,

and how many replies.

I appreciate your kind thoughts.

I chewed a piece of Juicy Fruit chewing gum today. Hadn't had that in decades. Wow that's got to be the most wonderful artificial flavor ever invented. Tragedy that the flavor only lasts about 30 seconds.

My language disability has been very bad these couples of days. Can barely get any understandable sentences out. It's strange, sometimes my brain can digest and spit out worders better than other days. Like sometimes I feel like I have no language disability. My mind has been pretty fuzzy too, not sure if it's related in any way to stress. Sadly, I feel like I'm so used to stress that I cannot tell the difference between not being and being stressed anymore.

Been somewhat depressed about this. These last few days have not been psychologically good in general. Only bright side was that I forgot to wear a mask at a gas station and a female cashier hit on me.

I don't know... I feel scatterbrained right now too. Like I have no footing.

Music can be a good antidote to depression. It helps move the mind into a calmer state.

I'm slightly miffed that I have an extremely busy week, but my bishop has decided we all have to have a professional development day today. And the programme doesn't look like there'll be much that is actually useful...

Indifference, less service minded.

In some cases almost unbelievable.

From one thing to another,
the warm sandwich maker.

Instead of spreading butter on the bread i tried taking a cheese slicer
and slicing the butter and laying it direct on the machines hotplate,

then the bread, cheese, bread and another slice of butter.
Perfect result, makes no mess either.

This because you said you too were a fan of warm cheese sandwich.

@Paidiske , Sorry, looks like I have replied to your post,

my mistake, it was intended for @mama2one .

Take one again.

@Paidiske my post #1451 was intended for @mama2one .

Sorry about that.

"Go in peace and serve the Lord your God with joy."

Said the figure dressd in black.

Black is scientifically not a colour.

It is unpersonal, reveals nothing of ones person,

Whereas dressing according to one's likes is not fitting

for any type of clergy.(any religion)

Their speech will often be about them and their opinion.

Black has also an air of authority.

Why it is timeless to have a black suit hanging in the closet.

Fitting for all occasions.

A little of my thoughts on black. Plus I am a little bored, haha.

Nighty nighty.

How 'bout white?

 

[MehGuy]

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra looks really, really nice.

How 'bout white?

Tennis and cricket.

White is the colour of baptismal robes. It's the colour of God's people, those who are cleansed and made whole.

Black says, "It's not about me." White reflects the light of the world, and says, "It's all about Him."

Like white is the colour of a surrender flag?

Makes sense.

 

[Paidiske]

I never thought of it that way!

You sent me off to google. Apparently the use of a white flag, not just for surrender but any instance of non-combat, arose in ancient China and is recorded in Rome soon after (which gives it its European legacy). Its Chinese origin may be linked to white being the colour of mourning in that culture (so they might fly a white flag where we would lower a flag to half-mast).

But apparently the "Christian flag" (a 20th century invention) has a white field to represent Christ's non-violence and surrender to God's will.

Fascinating!
