Random Deep Questions and Thoughts

-
  • Why do we act like admitting you're wrong or apologizing about something is a sign of weakness when it actually takes more courage to admit your fault than to deny everything no matter what happens?

  •  Wouldn't adopting the older, less likely to be chosen siblings of the easily adoptable, adorable toddler be more beneficial for everyone? Older kids tend to have a harder time getting adopted, nobody ends up traumatized from loss of their remaining family, the parents get someone to help with the baby, and they get the complete nuclear family unit in one go.

  • Adding a bunch of loopholes and stipends to the conditions under which you'll do a good deed so that it more directly benefits you is not being selfless, it's being lazy and taking advantage of someone else's problems. Like the episode of Little House on the Prairie, three orphaned siblings need a home, their mother's dying wish was that they stayed together, and most of the townspeople seem more concerned with the convenience of adopting two strong teenage boys or a cute little girl could bring for them.  The wealthy woman who wanted the little girl, (at least said woman was a graceful loser about the results), and the farmer couple who wanted her older brothers were too focused on practicality to see the damage they could have caused. Family is more important than practicality. Thank you to the newlywed couple who saved the day by taking all three. At least someone gets it. 

  • If God is supposed to love everyone no matter what they do and forgives a majority of sins, excluding the really bad stuff, why would he punish someone for being the way they are?

  • On a related note, why does having water poured over a baby's forehead before they're even old enough to understand right and wrong, determine their acceptance by a loving, omnipotent God? Shouldn't they be allowed to decide for themselves? I think I read somewhere that a child can make that choice at around seven.

Book Hangover Thoughts: The Forgotten Family

-
An open letter to: Meryl Matthews because she really made me think.  In your story, The  For gotten Family, a wealthy couple with fertility problems during the late 1800s did what many people in that situation typically do. They decided to adopt. In this case, a two-year-old girl from the slums. ( Fun Fact , that was what poorer neighborhoods were referred to at the time). Now, I know that the Bonners actually had a decent reason to give up their youngest. Not just because she was an unplanned pregnancy, which she likely was, since with Mr. Bonner having lost his job and being in dire need of an increase in their finances, another baby was the last thing needed. Neither of her birth parents had any real skill in having a family, which is why the kids basically raised themselves, and very well I may add. Queenie was only thirty months old, and very eloquent for her age, given the circumstances, and able to physically and verbally assert herself, and they made it clear th...

Petition

-
 I figured if I solved whatever problem was causing my anxiety, I'd get rid of it and I'd be helping people. It's a win-win. right? Here's a link to the petition I'm trying to circulate.  If you sign it, I'll shout you out! https://chng.it/2zZ2HWhptQ     It's not fair to only take one because it's easier. Traumatized kids separated from their siblings can end up going down the wrong path later in life or worse. I did a ton of research on this. The highlighted parts of the requirements are mine. Proposal for The Betterment of Siblings in Foster Care  This document comes not as a complaint or criticism, but as a request for upholding a simple and basic human right which for too long has been denied to children simply because it isn’t being upheld by a system designed to protect them. Over 80% of children in foster care, who after already losing their parents and homes, are separated from their siblings.  The separation of siblings in foster care has a ma...

Questions: JK Rowling

-
     Before jumping to conclusions, you should always get the full story. For example, w hile I have no problem with Transgender people, I would like to clarify something important.  JK Rowling may have posted a few tweets that sound biased against the Transgender Community, but I did some actual research on her past and it may interest you to know that Rowling’s comment primarily stands from an abusive first marriage, so of course she’d be a little touchy about people assigned male at birth taking female jobs. She worked her way up from the ground and was actually told to use her initials because boys weren’t going to read a book written by a woman.  Also, sex and gender are actually two completely different things. Sex refers to the biological difference between men and women which you’re born with. (The way babies are made is different. You’ll have to ask your parents about that, kids). Gender is actually more of an individual’s concept of themselves and th...
