I see what you mean by the “giving up on men” thing, but I personally don’t think it’s meant to be read that way.

I’ve actually never been in a court room that was currently in use - so I guess a few minutes here and there while touring historic buildings? I’m 38 and have somehow managed to never have to go in for jury duty.

I can feel this.

That’s fair, I personally wouldn’t use the word spiritual for those things either, but I think it just comes down to a difference of opinion.

Interesting, how do you define spirituality?

I personally don’t think something is spiritual just because it can’t be measured.

Oh I’m certainly not advocating for forcing anyone to get rid of their religion (I’m not advocating for anything at all). It just struck me as interesting that you can’t imagine a world without it.

I cannot imagine the world without religion, as human beings tend to be spiritual

I’m curious about this. I was raised somewhat religiously, but at this point, I can’t imagine myself with religion, or spirituality, or any of it. Why do you think it’s so essential?

Probably the same ones that decided that teachers should parent their kids.

I like almost everything, but for some reason I hate the taste of carrots in general.

I love spicy food though.

This checks for me as a teacher. It’s obviously not a cure all since there could be many other things in play, but it’s wild how much progress kids with major behavior issues can make when they’re given consistency.
