When there is an absence of good faith, those that have it will seek it. I have a deep love for logical compelling argument and debate (which is itself having a moment). But debating in bad faith is just pissing in the wind. They’ve lost us not the other way around.

I agree on the last part, relationships take constant intense maintenance. I don’t agree with the first part. You can absolutely cheat without being dissatisfied and my 🔥 take is that doesn’t even make you a bad person. It makes you a mistaker which is all of us. Depends on the sitch of course

Of course it is! We agree on the other parts. Humans make mistakes every day. This is a massive one. But being driven by passion is a different part of thought than the one that drives “being good”. Accidents happen and it doesn’t have to be the end of all things, and we should say that more.

Charlie Kirk was a man who made it his life's work to say things that were designed to enrage and hurt other people, while deliberately doing everything he could to personally add gun powder to the powder keg of a country. I think he was a bad person. There are many bad people of all walks of life. Liberal, conservative, right, left, Palestinian, Jewish, Ukrainian, Russian, American, Venezuelan, male, female, transgender, young, and old. All of them were loved by their family and none of them deserve to die, save the most heinous of bad actors. Our country is poised on the edge of total ruin. Do not arm yourself. Do not align yourself against your neighbor. Do not plan to do harm. Find love. Find it in everyone. Find it in the person across the political aisle that had a different upbringing and life than you did. There are people in this world who unfortunately make it their life's work to divide us. Most of them are insanely rich. This is where my heart is when I speak out for immigrants. We are all the same. We are all trillions of cells pretending in unison to be a person. Have compassion for each other and their plights. Have compassion for the immigrant. Have compassion for the people who have lived in hate their whole lives, have compassion for the people that care more about animals than their fellow human. Right or wrong, left or right, up or down, we are all parts of families and all have loved ones. Do not escalate. There is no glory in killing your neighbor, no matter how much you disagree with their viewpoint. Find love. - BRENT RAGER -

Alien Earth is a masterpiece. Someone I recently say the golden age of tv was over and they are down bad.
