I'm non binary pan, non religious etc.

My Muslim neighbour had a daughter some time ago, she started saying words late last year.
He taught his daughter my name already, and smiles when she says hello to me. Not because of who I am, but because of who he is.

I do not get to choose how other people live, because I do not live as them, yet for all my friends and loved ones over the years I hope they understand that this is less about our prejudice inside yet how we treat others outside and away from our inner demons.

They say Rome wasn't built in a day, yet it wasn't one person who went into it. Each brick which is laid, each shirt stitched, to each ladle lifted above a bowl to feed another, is done so by someone different to the person next to them. I hope that one day we can celebrate differences without having to resort to being so mean to each other.

I worked in an office of about 20 ish people upstairs, and probably double or triple that on the factory floor. My team was 14-16 people.

I had a surgery and was off work for 2 weeks.
The only coworker that called to check in on, me during my time off, was the Muslim dude.

We both moved thousands of miles apart, but when we could be in the same city for work trips etc, we'd get together for a meal at a good lebonese place and easily kill 3-4 hours catching up.

The other teamembers? Most of them can't be bothered to accept a linkedin connection. Lol

I guess she learned nothing from her husband’s death

I think she was fitted with a neck plug too. Someone might wanna check that out or whatever.

I'm not turning anymore cheeks.

Then you never understood why you were turning the other cheek to begin with.

No. Your dogma does not apply to me. I am not you.

you mean i can't force my space ghost rules on you? i feel oppressed

lol

Who said anything about dogma? You're the one who brought up the spiritual principle like you were an adherent of it but have decided to no longer be. When I turn the other cheek it's not because dogma told me to, goofy.

Is calling names and blaming part of your belief system along with condescension?

Is it part of your belief system to intentionally misread others' comments so you can argue with them? Or is that just something you do to convince people it's not worth trying to talk any kind of sense to you? I don't care which it is; I was being rhetorical. I'm not really interested in hearing further deflections from you so we'll just say your cunning plan to dissuade genuine conversation has worked perfectly. Ta-ta.

I'm ready for a second red fountain.

She learned not to piss off Israel from it

u mad? seems like u might need to turn the other cheek.
