In response to "Capital punishment "

The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.

In response to "Texting "

I think texting is detrimental to our communication skills because so many people use emoticons and abbreviations that when it comes to actual conversations they've forgotten how to use words. It drives me crazy when my granddaughters are texting while we're trying to have an actual conversation. I've said on more than one occasion what is it going to take to have your undivided attention. In my home, cell phones are shut off between 5:00-7:00 for family interaction time.

In response to "Blessings "

Excellent point! I have to take time out now and then just to say to myself, you have nothing to complain about when compared to others. I have a small medical condition but not life threatening. I am 79, see good, hear good, walk good - no complaints I say. So we do need to remind ourselves how good we have it.

I guess as you get older it comes before us more, like for Willie Nelson in his 90s. Age is a big factor. But, since we have no real control on age, we all age, we must make the best of it.

Blessings to you, and thanks for reminding me how go I have it!

Dogs and dog toys are one of life's hazards. I wish you a quick recovery. Happy Thanksgiving.

In response to "Gratitude "

I can understand the patients mistaking their gratitude for romantic love, since they were the ones suffering and they were helped. But when the doctors and nurses take that patient seriously, it becomes something else; luckily, this is rare.
Like you said, there are many kinds of love.

Texting

On this day in 1992, the world's first text message was sent by a test engineer for Sema Group. 32 years later, how dependent are you on text messaging?

Oh, my goodness. What would we all do without texts? The first texts were not until 1992, imagine all those years we’d managed to communicate without our phones. In the scheme of things the speed in which we have embraced this technology has been more than rapid it’s been phenomenally fast, up to the point of not being able to exist without them.

When I watch movies which predate the mobile phone I find myself wondering why the character didn’t just pick up his/her phone and call!😂

As for texting I wonder if it’s not robbing us of our voices and even confidence to have a conversation. I have to admit they’re very useful if you just want to pass on a bit of information without getting caught up in a long conversation, but those unexpected conversations can add something nice to one’s day.

Children and young people are becoming increasingly unable to converse naturally and there are even classes now at school in the lost art of conversing with another human!

Of course another downside of the technology is the willingness with which people text without thought. They often write content which they’d never say verbally. Plus on social media they can hide behind their keyboard, tell lies, spread rumours maliciously.

I often wish the mobile phone had never been invented, that we could go back pre internet. Back to the days of making a date/time/place and simply turning up without the need of texts such as I’m on my way- I’m running late- where are you?- just go ahead an order, I can’t make it Texting makes it easy to break dates, tell lies, etc.

I think we’re all dependent on texting in 2024. How can one not be?
