I’m not going to be answering the previous question here. But I’ve come to notice that the only thing that will help the world now is davening/praying that all creations are granted empathy and awareness. I hope this message gets to those who will understand the gravity of the situation at hand. I cannot afford to keep posting here as I seem to get nothing out of it in return. So goodbye.
Real tough Jewish music question…
Which Jewish musician do more people know the lyrics to the songs than those who know the tunes?Commonsaychel:
What was your purpose in posting such a post. It comes across as pointing fingers, as it seems you feel someone is trolling. Such expressions tend to cause divisions. You are free to express what you wish to say, but is the goal to unify, or divide? I don’t need your answer. You need to ask yourself what your intent was in that post.Non Jewish veterans are frequently homeless. They fought for the freedom you take advantage of in your country. As such, hakaras hatov in the form of money to people who did you such a favor is tzeddaka. However, if the non Jew burns the flag of that country in disrespect for the lives lost, it is not hakaras hatov and is not tzeddaka.
History has just repeated itself. IYK has left the chat.
Okay. I get it now. We’ll see how this plays out…
I nominate myself to be the lone FFB who snoozes through the whole davening peacefully in shul, yet accomplishes more during that sleep than everyone who is davening.
Let’s be robots!!!
The reason we need someone to be head of kiddush club, is we need someone to be willing to make a kiddush hashem…
Who’s going to be head of kiddush club?
I also want to point out, that the furniture was offered to me, but the bed was already in the trash. I had to take it out of the trash. I sleep on a quality bed that was thrown away. Quality people get thrown away as well. I was a quality person, destroyed. Made into nothing. But there is a plan in this world, I know I’m part of it. If not, Hashem would not be raising me from destruction. From a place where nobody has returned. As it says, meashpos yarim evyon.

What you don’t understand is, even you were helped. There is no getting up from where I’ve been put down. By laws of nature, I should be dead now. I only have a bed to sleep in, because someone I cared about very much died and their furniture was offered to me. I’m only getting up because there is a greater force picking me up. Probably because I was wronged by others. So much so, that unlike Holocaust survivors, I still have to fight for what you consider normal life.The lesson of chad gadya is, that there is always someone bigger or stronger than you. When one gets attacked by the biggest and strongest of them all, Hashem is even bigger and stronger. There is no need to prove greatness. If there is a chain reaction of suffering and pain, eventually Hashem will end all pain and suffering. Bimhera Biyameinu.
At least society recognizes that there is alternative to rectal thermometers. Injections in the rear are still done today, because that’s a fairly large muscle in the body. The muscle absorbs the medication, so sometimes depending on the medication, society has no alternative yet. However, there are alternatives to violence for raising children, yet society over all is still resorting to violence. Why? (Why, is a question that is judging) what is the cause? (What, is seeking a solution) It’s so frustrating that just because someone was wronged, they cannot hold back from wronging others, refuse to improve themselves. This action is a sign of failure to properly raise a child. If you take the action to be violent to a child because you experienced violence yourself, the justification is flawed. You have the ability to find alternatives to violence, to work on your personal emotions and gain control over them instead of allowing the emotions to control you.
I found an interesting correlation: there were a few countries with 0 reports of corona. All those countries, in the UN vote against moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, did not denounce the move that led to more peace in the Middle East. Just an interesting observation.
There were people who stayed home, had zero outside contact, sanitized everything, yet still died from corona. Fact is, everyone has been exposed to corona whether they have antibodies or not. There were people living in the same home as others who had corona, yet bloodwork showed no antibodies, they were totally unaffected. Children were the least affected, animals outside even less affected. Are we going to vaccinate all the animals on the planet? Animals were even more exposed to corona than humans were, yet the animals weren’t dropping dead from corona like us humans. As far as the vaccine goes, it’s not a tetanus shot, there’s no guarantee it’ll be 100% effective to secure the health of the one receiving it. Just like the flu shot, it’s a temporary hold off at best, that comes with side effects. At worst, it causes the very thing you tried to prevent by taking it. We still don’t know the effects 10 years after taking the shot, whichever one is taken. Why do people want to be guinea pigs for no reason? If you were supposed to die, Hashem has so many other ways it could happen. Did anyone else notice how as soon as people began taking the vaccines riots broke out all over the world? To think these injections don’t have negative effects is ludicrous.
ADHD:
I am not paskening. However, it seems there are things you can do for others and things you can do for yourself. If I were facing such a challenge of not understanding my purpose in life, I’d probably attempt to improve my personal life by working on what I find difficult, while improving others lives with what I find easy.
I hope this helps.commonsaychel:
Was your life sabotaged by your own parents to the point that you couldn’t get up? Clearly not. Let’s talk real here. You hold a job, got married, own a house. How did you pay for that house? Who put the down payment towards it? Did you pay it all yourself? Or did you have help, community support. You got married, so now you possibly have dual income to assist with that. In addition, community support to make sure you can support her as well. You’re not all alone. The one job I was offered, my parents approved of because it made them look good. No one ever asked me what I wanted. It was all to force me to submit to their rule. I guess, you submitted, were supported because you did. When I wanted to take college courses, my parents didn’t pay for it, I did. I worked hard to pay off my debts, to be responsible, all the while money being mooched off of me from the community for one cause or the other. But when I wanted to take the next step to open a business, my parents disowned me, my community offered no support, I ate the ice off the road because I was hungry. I had nowhere to stay, I slept on park benches, on the ground in parking lots, ignored by my own Jewish “brothers”. I was made vulnerable, attacked at work, one coworker even attempted to murder me. I was working for a Jew. Who then pressed along with my parents to have me put in a mental institution, just to destroy me. I had to fight in court for the right to control my own money. I then used some of it to save a stranger’s marriage and take his home out of forclosure. To this day, I have no clue who the guy is, all I know, he was Jewish. I have a name as a danger to society so I have no legal right to own a firearm. No right to defend myself. If I were to get married, I’d have to go to court to fight for the right to raise my own kids. The only one fighting for me is Hashem. I received a letter recently telling me that there are many in need of help for food in the community, asking for my help. Why do you think this happens? Hashem works Midah kineged midah. Miami, people are homeless now. Why do you think this happens? I now have a home I call my own. Why do you think this is? Midah kineged Midah. When Jews shirk responsibility for each other, Hashem picks up the tab. Because of what I went through, I said my final prayers, ingested something that was guaranteed to kill me. I fell asleep, yet woke up totally unaffected. Hashem wants me alive for a reason. I walked and prayed Hashem should hit me with a tree to just end my suffering. A tree instantly came down where I had been standing 30 seconds earlier. Most people believe in themselves as to the reason they are where they are in life. I’m only here because Hashem wants me here. Good night.edited
There already is a google hador. Now, in the CR, there is talk of appointing a harav hagoon…
This conversation tells me that quite a few here have already made up their mind to take the vaccine. If not, why are the details being discussed like they matter. If a brain surgery is necessary, do you question every step the surgeon takes? The issue here is that nobody is being held accountable for anything COVID-19 related, yet here the ones giving consent are possibly paying the price. The concern here is that the children are also your responsibility and there seems to be some sort of uncertainty. The question is, do you really believe children are in danger? There seems to be a lot of uncertainty where there also seems to be a lot of certainty.
Personally, I see things differently. Medicine is a practice. It’s not perfect. Most doctors nowadays, will tell you not to smoke while they do, will tell you to exercise while they don’t. Good truthful doctors are few and far between. Every medication has it’s pros and cons. If I can manage to live well without a medication, why make my body work harder for no reason? Just because some power hungry oppressive laws are put in place, doesn’t mean I won’t choose to live as best as I can with the circumstances available. I’m anti flu vaccines, so I’m clearly anti the COVID vaccine. Most are not anti the flu vaccine, so most will likely take the COVID vaccine. So now comes the question those who plan to vaccinate their children have. Which vaccine is the best option, hence the conversation at hand. We can agree to disagree.
Yes… all about how money has been devalued. The reason money is so valuable, is because it allows people to work together to help each other out. If someone needs food prepared for them all the time, not everyone is willing to volunteer to cook for them what they desire, causing the needy to feel like a burden. However, the value of money, is that if the one in need of a chef has money to offer as payment to get what he desires, now the ones who wouldn’t share their talent to better the needy one’s life, changes their perception that it’s beneficial to help out. That is the true value of money. Not forcing those who don’t have money, to submit to other people in order to get what they need.
The old story of the question asked to Israelis “in whom can we trust to run this country?”, where everyone replied !בי! בי, resulting in Netanyahu assuming the position of power…
commonsaychel:
Got it. Thanks.I’m okay not sharing too much. But I remember being beaten with metal, leather, it didn’t matter. Anything was seen as a possible weapon to be used against me. I remember being deprived of food, having to sleep sitting without a pillow or blanket. I feared hunger so much that I couldn’t eat slowly and enjoy food because I was afraid it might not satisfy my hunger long enough to last until the next time I’d have food. I remember being forced to hurt myself, or face more pain. Religious beliefs were used to control me even more, as a form of psychological abuse. Fear was so embedded in me that Jewish music causes me pain to this day. All Jewish music is religious in nature, so how would you feel if everywhere you go reminds you of the abuse? I’ve been through therapy for over 11 years now and I’m still working in trauma therapy to try to overcome the psychological abuses, while living with reminders everywhere I turn in the Jewish community. In my days, no one would listen, so everyone was complicit. Judaism failed me. Humanity failed me. To this day, I see every human as a potential danger to me. All I can do is adapt to live among a society that does not want to change. As they still don’t want to change, it is impossible for me to make a difference as the saying goes, “you can bring a horse to the water, but you cannot make it drink”.
You wanted to know, now you heard my horror story. One that I face for the rest of my wretched life. But at least, I don’t try to relive those memories all the time. I’d rather learn to enjoy the positive opportunities life still has to offer me. So yes, I go to trauma therapy. But I connect more with dogs and horses than humans, as I know they understand more than humans do.
