First thought pass, yes. They present the world that I live n survive in. All that we use to navigate our lives. If they have worked til now, I trust them. Until they contradict precedent, understanding n history, why would I not? Ok, sciency me questions, it’s good to question our senses.

Life is good, just take it as it gives. Pretty much we've learned that's what our critters do. Received our first snow for this year. Nothing big for us. will be melted in a day or two.
How's it in Zufre? How long are you in Zufre?

How do I know I understand the reality my senses present? How did I learn they relate to reality? And finally, is the reality they present to me the same as what would be presented to you?

Yes, Somehow, over time, persons have learned to not to be content/comfortable with who they are, but who they think others say they are. There is lip service 'to be yourself' but constant comparisons overwhelm that advice.

Very important discussion. 👍 Child advocacy laws need addressing. I’m on the board for our county court appointed special advocates for children, CASA. It’s heartbreaking for the kids and challenging sometimes making sure the legal system addresses the child’s needs.

Not sure why (probably not what you ment) but made me think of this line:
“Like so many Americans, she was trying to construct a life that made sense from things she found in gift shops.”

This is appalling and inhuman. People need to hear and understand what their actions have caused.
I just wish the media and writers would put the numbers to it. It would get the message across more powerfully.
Over 600,000 people dead, 400,000 children dead. 😞

Yep. That’s what gets lost without the philosophies.
I find this has been a slow progression since the early 1900 then accelerated post WWII. The teaching of more STEMish knowledge at the sacrifice of humanities.

Glad to hear 😊
Basically reached the same approach with a bit of patience n empathy thrown in. It’s hard though when one sees the intolerance towards others. No easy answers, but self awareness is of high import.
