@freemo
> violence is only a last resort and one I've almost never had to use even when justified.
Yeah, this looks like "I feel like i won if i took a hit and solved it without hitting back"
That's the stuff.

@freemo Ah, the engagement i hoped for, and i hope you value the reply with my own thoughts:
To love, i improved. I did badly, maybe was clumsy and incompetent, but i improved. Especially in the sense of loving without a personal connection, to love for "i think this is something special", not because there was someone close to me.
To live gently, i improved. I was rather angry (rightfully so, but it was not helpful) as a youth, but i think i am getting the knack of not pulling someone who is not directly responsible into my outrage.
Things not meant for me? I really struggle with this one. What does it mean? Is living in a world where people work together instead of competing not meant for me? Who would decide what is meant for me?
Maybe this is more of a translation error, it would make more sense to me if it was "let go of things where consent is not given". That i would be able to say to "i improved". I do conscientiously check if something is where someone else has no obligation to me and back off if i get told no instead of trying to make everything right even if someone does not want that.
@admitsWrongIfProven I think in terms of letting go... I was probably better at that when I was younger...
Early on I was a bit shaky on the love one too. I certainly improved a lot there from my younger years. I probably can still improve.
I was always gentle though I think, just my nature.

@freemo And how would you rate yourself on those?
@admitsWrongIfProven Good question, I asked myself that when I posted it...
How much I loved... that one I have down, I feel fairly universal love for everyone, at least in some sense. There are some edge cases that would need to deep dive into philosophy on "what is love" I guess, but otherwise I feel good on this point.
How gently I lived... not perfect but still pretty close on this one, I try to always be patient, kind, hear people out, forgive, violence is only a last resort and one I've almost never had to use even when justified.
How gracefully I let of things not meant for me.... this one is where I struggle the most, I do fairly poorly on this, poorer than your average person for sure. I do feel I have a good sense of when i should let go, but it is hard as I like to see things through to the end.
If we are talking about racists in general who will (and have) lead to nazism I guess thats more nuanced... but I never got into this convo to defend racists, so if they are getting punched in the face I have bigger things to worry about than them :)
If someone is literally trying to mass exterminate minorities (a Nazi) then by all means, punch away. Thats just self defense.
@thor Yea, which is more than enough... just saying every combination of male, female, and NB for god combined with everyone combination of the three for "and I'm XXX" would result in 9 options...
Not complaining, just a nerd :)
@thor 9 total options given the current format... doable.

If God existed, and had a gender, which one would you prefer it to be?
Since you gave me a non-binary option I picked it.
The way I see it Femininity = compassion and unconditional love... masculinity = protection and trying to make others strong/safe
Ideally I'd like a god that embodies both of these qualities because they are both good qualities.
Ummm the constitution absolutely does protect you from getting punched in the face for being a biggot, but thats another matter...
Punching up means "attack the more fortunate"... if it meant "attack assholes" then I dont really mind, go right ahead, at least figuratively, and in some cases even physically when justified.

Want to turn me on and you don't have sunglasses?
Send me wildfire and riot photos instead.
Im nto calling it racist, that is a matter of semantics.. i am saying it is racist-like... taking the equation racists use and using it. Regardless of if it is racist, it resembles it close enough to be a problem, and with good reason.
And I kind of agree something is better than nothing. But the only way you get a good, effective, and just, something is if you reject it when its not, because thats the only time people are forced to try to comrpimise and find a better solution, one that doesnt violate the constitution (as perceived by the SCOTUS)
