      Come closer,listen.I need you to hear this.The world is at war.I know it is so,because truth was the first to fall.Fact has become fiction,fiction turned to fact.Seeing is no longer believing,and truth no longer matters.Everything is fake,everything a conspiracy,everything...

      Epicurean Paradox

        If God can act and does not,that is a choice.If God wants to act and cannot,then his power has limits.If God both can and wants to,Why does suffering exist?If God neither can nor wants to,Why call him God? Pain persists.Adjust...

      • Age old dilemma, for sure. I’ve asked this myself of all sorts of scholarly or “intelligent” people.
        I steer clear of knocking the powers of a god-being, because some do indeed have faith in such. More power to them.
        But, life has made me quite cynical. Therefore, I choose to believe in power of mankind as the true source of hopeful change.

        • Thanks for reading.
          I agree entirely with your view particularly that praying sometimes brings solutions though not from a divinity but from ourselves.A peaceful quiet meditation works fine for me…. mostly.

      • I like this, and coming from someone who grew up in a conservative faith, as I got older I began to see things differently. Folks change the words to fit the narrative so that they can claim they are backed by divine power. It’s a scary thing.
        Great work.

      • Thank you for sharing this Peter. I’m not sure it needs another person’s ink. The raw emotion you put into this really hits home.

      • Preach on from the land down under. Great work Peter.

      • Powerful piece. It’s always important to know history and seeing how that turned out. I think after this administration is done, we’ll have trials and there we’ll find out more of the evil that men/women did. My heart goes out to those broken families and protesters voicing for the voiceless.

      • I appreciate the effort, Peter — but I don’t much care for the AI voice reading it when the “LISTEN” voice is clicked. How many pages do you have that on?

    • just like my dad

      My father wrote this for my mum.Ive always loved the simplicity of it and thought it was worth sharing.

      • Very good. I just read that Musk said that death is faulty design and in the future we will figure out how to fix it.

      • Thanks Fia.
        Don’t normally agree with Elon but he is right that death will be eventually defeated by science but probably only for the rich.
        You wouldn’t want the poor living forever now ..would you.
        Seriously,who really wants to live forever..not me.

      • Cleverly penned, Peter. Powerful write my friend. Appreciate you.
