Detaching

[sleeper]

Now I understand how wars get started.

If we can misunderstand each other that easily just think how much easier it is for a bunch of old diplomats with hearing problems recieving information through translators to misunderstand each other. Maybe the greatest hope for world peace is to call home all diplomats and shut down the United Nations.

In the beginning (no pun intended) of my post I said, "Everyone must decide what is right for themselves and their situation." Then I went on to point out how doing the right thing is not often the easy thing to do. I did bring my faith into my post because it is my faith and therefore affects my personal decision of what is right for me to do. I would expect everyone's personal beliefs to affect their decision too. I was not attempting to proselytize. Seems like Jesus mentioned something about his name would bring division.

For most of my life I had a juvenile belief system that if a person did the right thing and made right choices then good things would happen to them. Then one day I had the realization that Jesus did the right thing and most would consider the end of his physical life on earth in such a manner and at such a young age to be a negative outcome. It put choices and outcomes in perspective for me. All of us here would like for our decisions to be outcome based but that is not always the way it is. My main point was that everyone has to do what they believe is right for them but while doing so we should realize that the right thing is not always the easiest thing to do.

Naej, as far a remarrying, I presently have no desire to, nor do I have any desire to date. I have spent some time thinking about both topics and to be honest I still believe myself to be married. The state I live in no longer recognizes my marriage but I believe a higher authority does.

Shalom
