The One Where We Need to Look From Different Perspectives (and When We Assume, it Leads to Making an ASS of U and ME)

This was originally just posted as a comment under one of my Facebook posts. Welcoming some friendly “debates” and opinons. If anyone name calls each other or is rude to one another I will remove the comments - I don’t care if you're a troll or a friend.

I actually want to understand how people watched this and heard and saw the same thing but perceived such a different interaction.
I took it as Zelensky AGREEING with Trump who was insulting our efforts. Trump kept saying Biden did this, Biden did that - which I obviously agree with. But it seemed like things were “okay” and then Zelensky asked one question they didn’t like, then they just completely freaked out at him. And then Zelensky asked them if they’d ever been to Ukraine in order to be able to talk about what is going on there and JD stumbled over his words saying UH yeah i watched things…. WHAT??? That is literally the SAME THING “the right” had been attacking Kamala and Biden for. I get it - America first, but if someone was telling Trump that his nation had issues after someone invaded us, he would have asked the same thing, “have you ever been here to be able to tell ME what our issues are?”
I don’t see how that question set them off THAT much.
And then Zelensky said basically that we never know what’s coming WHICH IS TRUE we don’t… we are not God (although I’m starting to think Trump thinks he is with his post yesterday), we don’t know what can happen is how I took that.
And Trump flipped out saying “don’t tell us how to feel, you don’t dictate what we’re gonna feel”… but that’s not even what he was saying. He was saying what country doesn’t have problems in a war? And we have to remember that Russia completely attacked and invaded Ukraine. I also think there is a cultural and language barrier that we need to be aware of.
Listening to that like 4 times I did not think he was trying to be disrespectful at the level they flipped out at him about. It sounded like he was trying to explain himself and they just kept talking over him and mansplaining to him. I get that they needed to put him in his place while he is on our soil, but I also think THEY misunderstood a lot of what he was saying. And did we compromise and forgive Osama Bin Laden for what happened here in the US? No we didn’t. So I’m sure it’s pretty difficult at this point for Zelensky to compromise with Putin after all this time.
Trump is coming in after Biden just threw money at them for years, but didn’t actually make efforts to STOP the war so my guess is Zelensky is still a bit worried and skeptical that Putin will say he will stop but then won’t. That’s my take. I could be totally wrong but it’s how I heard the interview go from being okay to him getting totally attacked.
I just feel like we don’t want to create more problems and tension for ourselves. And this will only FUEL Putin seeing Trump walk all over Zelensky like that. Trump just inflated Putin’s ego and power in my opinion. I understand that Putin SAID back in 2022 that a peace deal could be close, and I also understand that it’s Zelensky who walked away and is a “warmonger”. I agree with and understand ALL of that. BUT I again wonder if it was us who got invaded and we were trying to compromise for peace, would we truly believe that the other party wouldn’t attack again when our guard was down.
I just don’t trust that Putin truly wants peace and that is how I assume Zelensky feels as well. Idk I just didn’t like they way they shut it down so quickly instead of trying to just talk to him a little bit more like he’s an adult male president of a country and less like how a parent talks to a toddler because we don’t need to make Ukraine into an enemy either - no matter how small or weak of a country we FEEL they are. Still humans. Still children of God.
I voted for Trump only for some of his policies and to get stuff done. But I do NOT like him at all. I also watched this after I saw the insanely narcissistic, awful golden statue post that made me want to puke. It’s like the golden calf story and he truly wants people to worship him.
I truly cannot stand him anymore.

The One Where Humans Have Free Will

A non-religious friend asked me (in regards to my thoughts about A.I. being very much against Christianity and wanting to try and understand my view), “But didn’t God create men and women?” - meaning He created our brains. This was my response: Satan disguises himself (or doesn’t) in everyday things, people, shows, music, words, and “inventions” or science. Humans who are working for Satan can easily create something that is not what God wants. That’s why I pray for every single decision I make now etc. If something is partially bad or feels wrong that is God pulling us away from it telling us to open our eyes. God wouldn’t create something so divisive. If it’s divisive it means the devil is in there somewhere. If it goes against the commandments, it’s not from God. The rules and Bible don’t change just because the world changes and “modernizes” - and humans are still humans with sin. So that’s why individual priests pastors and bishops can be bad, the pope is not even teaching traditi...

The One With the First Published Article

Today marks the first day of 💚Mental Health Awareness Month💚… Being a mental health advocate is something I have dedicated my life to and will never stop speaking out about. Mental Health is brain health. It is medical, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. It is ALL OF IT. And it affects every single human being. Just because you don’t have a “diagnosis” does not mean you are not affected by mental health and well being. Psychosis, addiction, depression, anxiety, suicide … you’d be surprised at the people it can affect. ANYONE. At any time. You never know until you are faced with something how you will handle it. I see the shock from family and friends (and even the person having the issues) more than I’d like to say. Everyone thinks it can’t happen to them or their loved one, until it does. If we don’t take care of one piece of our body, the other pieces are not okay. We all have things that have happened in our lives, good and bad, that have molded us into the exact person we...

The One When People Need to Mind Their Business

PSA: Unless you talk to someone regularly or truly know them, it is rude and very disrespectful to come on their page and publicly comment something like “maybe you should take a break from social media” (This was someone I met ONCE at a concert about 10 years ago, and yes I removed the comment). My cousin kindly texted me last night night to see if I am okay and I appreciated the thought. I then explained to her the reasons for why I posted so much in one day. And that it was very intentional and it has to do with testing the algorithm for reasons that I explained to her but it’s nobody else’s business. Sometimes people use social media for things other than just “social” recreation and fun. When you have a goal, a dream, something you are trying to achieve it’s often very difficult and lonely to get there unless you only surround yourself with people who have already climbed the mountain. I truly don’t post as much on here anymore, but again wanted to test the algorithm because it ...
