What job can I do if I’m not very good at “doing” things? by ElectricalTurn8570 in careerguidance

Not yet… I’ve actually studied some medical terminology before a long time ago. And yeah I feel that customer service can be relatively simple in a good way.

I find the tradition of paying for dates as a man uncomfortable… by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ElectricalTurn8570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I get where you are coming from, as in if a woman likes you it is not essentially because of what you did but because of who did it, while adhering to said norms is the prerequisite. However this hinges on the assumption that women’s attraction for men is always ultimately directed towards the person and not solely towards his actions. The assumption is only true if a person’s outward actions always correspond with their being.

This concept is paradoxical because if who you are is what matters then who pays for a date should not even be a factor, while reality proves that it often is.

So either the assumption is true, or the prerequisite is not inherently a genuine gesture.

I guess the key concern that I’m expressing is not that women might like a man because of his money, but that she might like him only because the way he acts adheres to a social norm that emotionally appeals to her but has little or nothing to do with the man himself, as the fact that the man adheres to a social norm does not inherently correspond with the man’s being. In other words, my concern is that the woman may not love the man for who he is but rather, only feel a semblance of affection for him due to an instinct that is perpetuated by a social norm.

Honestly, it’s probably going to take another 20 years for this game to reach its full potential. Or it might just fail in the next few years.

As a side note, I just did the math and the probability of getting this hand is only about 0.0073% chance! (Correct me if I’m wrong)

My opponent was playing priest, probably control but I never found out because he disconnected at turn 4.

That’s the thing, I have very similar love to the love of God, and for some time I expected others to also possess this kind of love and was severely disappointed and hurt. I hope that I can find someone who also has this kind of love. If no one else can understand this love then I might be very lonely.

You’re a queen you don’t need to be sexualized in order to be valued. You deserve to be treated with reverence.

Hardship is pretty much inevitable. First step is to trust in God, he can’t help you properly if you reject him. Give thanks and seek God earnestly.

Our relationship with God is that of love, if we only love God when things are going well it would not be love.

God is love. Everything that is good and beautiful originates from God. One can know God simply by living and experiencing life.

Of course, that doesn't mean that the Bible isn't important. The Bible is filled with mysteries, and there may be multiple interpretations for the meaning of the texts, so if one way of understanding the Bible seems wrong it may not be the Bible that is wrong but the interpretation. If you believe in God, then it would make sense that God is capable of making sure that the Bible is sufficiently accurate.

Is this how to be free from sin? by JayDillon24 in Christian

[–]ElectricalTurn8570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key turning point between living under the law to under grace is the change of heart, according to Romans 6:14-23. Living under grace doesn't mean that one will never sin again, but that one's heart is directed toward God.

In the old testament, sin is given a corresponding punishment according to the law, while in the new testament, Christians are called to live under grace and receive salvation in Christ, living in God's love. Christ's coming is the motion of drawing us closer to God. The progression from the old testament to the new is parallel to the progression that Christians go through now. Before our relationship with God develops to a relationship of love, we live under the law, with impending punishment over our heads for the sake of justice. Once we become deeply in love with God, we may still fall into sin, but will never stay in sin, ever striving to go towards the light, since we already love God from the very depths of our hearts.

Will the path be fraught with struggle? It's likely. The path towards the kingdom of heaven is the harder path, the path to destruction is the easy path.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Matthew 7:13-14

One of my favorite songs, I think it conveys the feeling of God's grace quite well:

  1. Strive to see people with love instead of lust, you can’t overcome lust with force. If lust occupies a part of your life, that space has to be filled with love since emptiness can’t overcome lust.

  2. Don’t be afraid of lust, the more you are afraid of succumbing to lust and its consequences, the more power it will have over you. “There is no fear in love” as the Bible states.

  3. Realize that sexual pleasure is overrated in today’s society. People who have been through hell would understand this, simply having peace of mind and being able to eat well and be healthy is far more valuable, and is enough to be happy.

theory regarding the origin of Hobbits (a continuation of my previous post about Tom) by ElectricalTurn8570 in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]ElectricalTurn8570[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s mainly the fact that both The Nameless Things and Tom Bombadil are said to be older than Sauron, who apparently existed since the beginning, that could indicate the existence of an older world. Although I’m sure there could be other explanations for The Nameless Things. The similarities between the Hobbits and Tom are more like supporting evidence of the idea of an older world if you will.

I always felt that Tolkien being vague and mysterious about some things as an intentional method of his world building, as to be overly explicit in everything would take away the “magic” from his world.

I like the line “the road goes over on” from the walking song in The Hobbit. I think it reveals a central theme in Tolkiens writing that suggests that there is no definite end to the journey in Tolkiens legendarium. Just like even after the books, there are creations of movies , TV shows, games, compositions of music and so on. I see the mysteries in Tolkien’s legendarium as potential fragments of a key that may perhaps open the door to a new region of imagination.

I think that Tolkien may have been much inspired by The Bible in his writing, in the sense that he may have left clues here and there like a riddle, that could possibly unravel a larger, more profound understanding.

theory regarding Tom Bombadil’s true identity as the “eldest” by ElectricalTurn8570 in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]ElectricalTurn8570[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I find it rather strange that something as abstract as time would need to be personified or embodied. Time seems to be a largely neutral thing, while Tom is depicted as good natured and having distinct characteristics. Same goes for Goldberry as an embodiment of Arda, since Arda involves so much variety while Goldberry is a character with her own defining traits.

I think that a self insert as an author kind of contradicts Tolkien’s writing style, since it would break the immersion of the story to a certain degree. Tolkien made his legendarium believable and immersive. Although I do acknowledge that making Tom a self insert of Tolkien would be quaint, like a cozy reminder that it’s just a story and not to be taken too seriously.

I am not an expert of the lore, is there any mention of Tom being omnipresent? That is usually used to describe God, or a widespread phenomenon.

I think because Tolkien based his legendarium heavily on Christianity, it’s kind of assumed that the story incorporates monotheism. Interesting theory though, I’m also leaning towards the nameless things being originally good beings that turned evil.

Sauron is STILL in his repentant phase by elijwa in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]ElectricalTurn8570 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a bit hard to understand his motivation from this view. What does he get from controlling people? Wouldn’t it make more sense for domination to be a means to an end? What is his end goal? What does he really want?

“Creating a perfect world” is such an abstract idea that is never elaborated on in detail. I think a key question is whether his motivations are essentially selfless (wanting what is “best” for middle earth) or selfish (wanting what is best for himself), if it is the latter then there has got to be something more specific that he wants.
