my brother dey there you go old. |
my brothers and sisters I wonder, do you have an emergency fvck buddy too? I mean, someone you can go to virtually any time and who's willing to have sex with you, in case you need it real badly? So we're not talking about gigolos and prostis, we're talking about ordinary friends. |
kinglekan:my brother she was looking for comfort and a provider status male. Little empathy goes a long way with most women. Sounds like she was looking for a reason to flake. Besides, all those silly interview questions can be answered in person, she was trying to extort info from me free of charge. I wouldn't have replied at all. If she texts and asks me if I am still on for tonight |
kinglekan:my brother that is it! if she wanted the date to still go as planned. Her message should have been like these: "are we still on tonight?" |
Lsofdk:my brother trust me she was just trying to extract information to determine value. |
MUVA:my brother me sef be mind reader........ I'm not interested now as she has shown herself to be insecure and I can't afford to be dealing with that constantly. |
firstking01:my brother I tire o. |
Lsofdk:my brother am pretty sure she was going to flake no matter what unless my job was more impressive than the other dude she was probably talking to. I think she was weighing her options. What a classless Naija b*tch. |
MUVA:my brother not even worth it at this point. She's turned me off with this temper tantrum. |
My brothers and sisters what really went wrong here?................. Set up a date on Thursday with this babe for tonight via text, haven't talked to her since we set it up. While I'm at work today this happened: Her: Hey Me: Hi, what's up? Her: How's it goin Me: Pretty good, but pretty busy. I'll see you tonight. Her: Where do you work Me: See you at 8 Her: I just asked you a question Me: I appreciate that, but can't chat right now. Ask me tonight. Looking forward to it. Her: I have to cancel but good luck to you! Seriously? |

my brother off liberty street. |
My sister nice topic. I'll take a stab. God is ineffable. Nobody can say what God is exactly, so that poses a challenge in answering questions about His/Her/Their existence. As Protestant theologian Karl Barth put it "God is wholly other." I've been in fellowship groups where the term "Great Mystery" is substituted for the word "God". So the best I can do is express my own understanding, based on my personal life experiences, powerful social conditioning, reading and thinking about the nature of reality. Kant taught us long ago that our perceptions are inescapably filtered through fallible sensory apparatus and mental categories that prevent us from full knowledge of external reality. As Saint Paul says, "we see through a glass darkly". I think we can talk about God from a functional standpoint: what belief in God does for humans even when we can't offer anything like a precise definition. The best I can come up with as a working definition is that God is the felt presence of a Higher Power "in whom we live and move and have our being." Not particularly original. The Higher Power, of course, comes from the Twelve Step recovery groups, and denoting any power that we recognize outside ourselves as controlling or guiding our lives--be it Yahweh, Allah, or Good Orderly Direction. So God is not necessarily the Dude in the Sky. The phrase "in whom we live and move and have our being" is from Acts 17:28. The "felt presence" part is mine, reminding us that what we feel might not be real in an objective sense although it can be important to us. Belief in God is an existential decision to bet our lives on this vaguely defined felt presence. To me, God is, among other things, a code word for Ultimate Meaning and an expression of my sense that it's a great big wondrful universe we live in--as the Protestant theologian Paul Tillich puts it "the Ground of all Being", or as John Dewey prefers "the summation of human idealism". I've been influenced by psychologist Viktor Frankl, who sees the quest for meaning as the basic human drive. Writing from his observations in a Nazi concentration camp, Frankl thinks that the prisoners who survived were those who could find meaning to their lives even in that hellacious environment. The meaning could take a variety of forms:memory of a loved one, a ray of light coming through a cell window, etc. However, Frankl thought there were some human pursuits which are blind alleys when it comes to meaningful existence: wealth, status, power, and sensual indulgence. Pursuit of such things inevitably leads to emptiness. I tend to describe this in the vocabulary of religious metaphor: idolatry. These are false gods. Does God have objective existence? I tend to reject the concept of God as the "Dude in the Sky" watching and judging us. I've been influenced by a couple of physicists, Dyson Freeman and Paul Davies, who see more to the integrated complexity of the universe than operation blind material force--but they admit that this is metaphysics rather than physics. So objectively, God is either the author of the laws of physics or the laws themselves. I've also been influenced by a personal "moment of clarity" (religious experience, psychotic break, whatever) in which a passage in Genesis took on new meaning for me: the part about humans being created in the image and likeness of God. From then on, I can't go to Shoprite without seeing God in the aisles and checkout lines. Of course, I could give a perfectly naturalistic explanation to this psychological phenomenon, but the metaphor helped a lot to change my attitude and make me, in my opinion, a better person. Beyond that, I can't decide yet whether I'm a theist, deist, pantheist, panentheist or confused agnostic. But Jesus is my hero. |
