What you said about power I actually tried to wave into my post. Though in a more implicit way. The story of the monk reminds me of my grand dad, and his experience in prison camp. Maybe you remember it,

I am not here for the money :) That makes me free. the quality of interaction with my small tribe is beneficial agreed. Hard to say why I am posting - not that often, actually, but still. I think it became

This place won't get big, I am afraid to say. It has missed the high opportunity in its beginners days. And, it has still the same problems like in its beginners days. Though, I am not a prophet, so I

HaHa!!! That was a good one. :D

I agree with your light hearted notion towards the ever ongoing changes around. It shows a lot of your humor. Though, once age sets in to bother one, this "go with the flow attitude" loses a

Yes, I also have fond memories of the good old days on Steemit. I once bought a work of art, which the artist sent me with a personal dedication and framing, including dispatch, by accepting HBD. In my

The fact is that I have no specific information, and this is the truth no faith honestly states. You did not understand me but I thought, you would. That frustrated me and I used the wrong term

Yes, I had hoped, more people actually would show signs of it. And they were there, but seldom. The rally in Berlin was therefore an important experience for me. What made me so stunned during this time

The way I understand it is that this idea of an all-powerful and all-knowing being is not found in the bible, but it was developed by religious scholars and practitioners through the ages. I find that

Although I don't believe in an omnipotent and omnipresent God, I wouldn't, for example, make our relationship with each other dependent on it and now attack your person because I couldn't understand why

During 2020/21 I had some pretty weird encounters, where I hoped to re-establish myself, to join in somewhere else, since through having been excluded from the so called norm, I was seeking connection

If that's how you perceive me, it's because I talk about it a lot, mostly from a retrospective perspective. I visit the place where I grew up because I still have brothers there. The old people have all
