We have had and do have several quote threads on JUB.

I'm curious to what YOUR thoughts are. Original thoughts are possibly not as common in an age in which we are immersed in media of all sorts.

So, I'm not asking for Winston Churchill-level quotable wit. Or even wit at all. Just thoughts from your own head. Your own observations, conclusions, opinions, persuasions, contradictions, or musings.

They may have come from your parents, a classroom, a movie, or a forgottn or unknown utterance from another, but you retained.

Can be about anything: economy, nature, music, religion, leadership, truth, sex, the body, health, humor, society, industry, travel, pets, change, the eternal, space, time or tide.

My first thought to share is one which I have had over and over, in a society where a constant theme among my neighbors is the actual Apocalypse, including Armageddon. It was broader when we were obsessed with the nuclear threat in the '70's, but I still hear it too often in my local peers and family.

I think I feel about it the same way our resident atheists feel about religion, period, and Christianity in particular -- that it is the refuge of the weak. Whatever the sliding scale is of what makes a society "bad," e.g., women empowered, minority equality, LBGTQ rights, economic hardships, environmental disaster, military conflicts/conquest, etc., there is always a temptation to wish that Apocalyse will occur, and it all will end.

It's just a very specific manifestation of Fight or Flight.

No matter what we imagine is untenable, someone before us has lived through worse, survived, and eventually thrived.

Your turn.
 
My mother always used to say there is a reason for everything. I would like to hear what other people think about this statement. I have meet and enjoy talking with someone on here. At first I was hesitant to respond back to him he reached out to me first but now I’m glad I did. We are having a wonderful time here with each other and going to the other threads. And I would like to know what and why we met. What is the reason? Any thoughts guys

That phrase was most often used in my culture to explain away the inexplicable, or the tragic. A child runs in front of a car and is killed. The apologist for the Calvinistic branches of Christianity would offer, "there is a reason for everything," followed by some bucolic opinion that we learn through suffering.

Reason implies intent to many people, at least when explaining an event's occurrence. It might be inanimate, like death in a universe where radiation degrades molecules that form cells. It might be spiritual if applied in such a context.

For your specific question, the reason is you joined an online website for entertainment and social reasons. So did the other member. Becoming more than anonymous avatars is a perfectly natural evolution of socializing here. Friendships here span from loose associations of like-minded porn viewers to passing community on a forum to behind-the-scenes pen pals, to meeting men in person for platonic friendships when travelling or sexual.

I dare say hundreds of members on here have met in person, usually not for hookups. I've probably met 12-20 in person.
 
Dealing with my home life and the un natural level of stress I face daily my first thought is *in sarcastic tone* Great I made it through the night. What crap will today bring?
 
How time is fleeting and I don't have enough time to really do all the things I would like to do.

Happy post of the day. :LOL:
 
The words of my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Maynor, have etched themselves in me:

"when adults behave like children, no society can long survive".

Mindful of my own childish tendencies, the warning from my teacher, so long ago, haunts me to this day.
 
"Chi troppo vuole, nulla stringe."
He who wants too much loses all.

"The dogs bark but the caravan moves on."
Andre Gide quoted this Arab proverb to Truman Capote in Tangiers when the latter complained to him about bad reviews.
 
There's a time and place for everything.
Treat others the way you want to be treated.
If they was a true friend or wanted you they would have of made time for you
 
If the society stratifies along divisions of age and income and region, it only justly can be called a society if it behaves as one enough of the time. Our society may have reached its limits if our only common goals are merely wealth attainment, avoidance of work, or attainment of leisure .

It is clearly difficult to find enough common ground to stand on to still call ourselves a people.

The planet is covered with failed democracies that fell back into warlords, factionalism, endless division, and tyranny. We should take note, else we conflate national might with national strength. Having a titanic military will mean little if we cannot coalesce on what the principles are that govern that might. If anything, it will make it more susceptible to misuse or even dissolution in the wrong hands. We clearly saw that as Trump attempted a silent coup after he was voted out of office. He won't be the last to attempt to appropriate that power.
 
One of my cousins used to say "been there, done that". She was an airline stewardess and was able to travel quite cheaply.

Another cousin has said "life is tough and then you die". This is kind of pessimistic.

I don't ascribe to either of those, however, I have thought that it is possible to get jaded, but I don't stay that way because I am mostly optimistic.
 
I was thinking that some days my Honey and I don't talk much to one another we just do the "Tim the Tool man Tailor" grunt. Only I do a higher pitched version and open my eyes real wide.

It's rather funny if I do say so myself. Sometimes I'll be in another room and he will do it back and we both have a good laugh. :LOL:

Okthanxbye.
