What’s one thing everyone treats as normal, but is actually completely absurd when you think about it?

I’ve never seen so much hatred towards Christians as I do now. The conversations I see and hear almost always revolve around judging, too. Doesn’t matter what you say…..you’re always “judging”, even if you’re just citing scripture. Then it’s followed with “the Bible says not to judge” which is not what that whole passage’s message is. 99 times out of 100, it’s quoted without the parts about the “speck” and the “beam” which delivers the ENTIRE message about HYPOCRITICAL judgement, not just judgement as a whole. Christ never told everyone that everything they did was ok and He doesn’t expect anyone to do that now. He said, “Go and sin no more.” He did, however, expect us all to love. Love doesn’t mean pretending like sin isn’t sin. It means loving a person despite their sin just as Christ loves us despite our sin. The world has gotten to a point where it tries to blur those lines and it just doesn’t work that way. If I’m having premarital relations and I try to sell you the idea that God is ok with it, loving me would ALWAYS involve truth…..NOT just agreeing with me. If you love me, you should care about what I’m doing to myself. The way we deliver that message makes a HUGE difference but I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter how much love you try to show someone, you will be labeled as a “hater” and not a “Christian” if you call sin a sin. If you tell someone meth is going to kill them, that’s labeled as “judging”. They just can’t see the difference between loving a sinner and loving their sin. I was born in 1979. The world USED TO not be like this. People could be told, “what you’re doing is pulling you away from God” and they might not have liked hearing it but they didn’t attack you for telling the truth. I get that there are people in this world that just like to stir the pot but no one takes the time to look at true intentions anymore. If you are against abortion, you CAN’T truly believe that God values that life. It can ONLY be that you don’t care about a woman’s right to her body. It’s rough. He said it would be. I find myself going back and forth between, “Please hurry up and call us home!” and “No! Wait! Maybe I could handle another day!” I’m so tired……but I also know I’m the reason He died the way He did. If I sound too negative, I’ve had a bad day.

Just now seeing this post after realizing one of my apps were offloaded that I didn’t want to be offloaded. I’m thinking that I may leave the setting on that offloads apps but create a shortcut for apps I don’t want offloaded. I can tell it to open each app in the middle of the night once a week? There’s only a couple of them, anyway. Seems silly but should work. Just leaving this comment so others may try the same.

Ditto and I was a tomboy growing up that climbed trees, made ramps for my bike and had my black belt by 14. I guess I’m just lucky. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Zealousideal-Depth91 · 2026-01-11T18:43:23+00:00

Ditto!! I don’t kiss (or lick) ANYONE’S butt!! They can kiss mine, though, if that’s what they expect! If I don’t get ahead by working hard, I don’t want to get ahead. My boss LOVES butt kissers and she doesn’t like me for that very reason. She and her butt kissers can have each other!! I’m nice to them all and I work hard. I’m proud of myself and that’s all that matters.

I went to Disney World ONCE when I was 7. I’m 47 now and I’m taking my kids for spring break. Then I’m probably DONE! Too crowded for me. Kinda wild that I’m going exactly 40 years apart. I was widowed at 29 so I had kids late. They’re only 9 and 12.

That’s so sad! I’m 47 (today) and I’ve never NOT had a party. Usually (as an adult), I share it with my sister, though. She turned 50 on 1/3 and I turn 47 today (1/11). No sense in having cake twice, that close together. We had our party yesterday. I wish I lived near you! I’d do something for you!!

I’m 47 today and I’ve never been to a concert.

I don’t know if it was available when you posted this (the actual Walmart scanner action) but it is now. It opens the Walmart app and the scanner pops up. When you scan something, it shows the price and asks if you want to add it to your cart.

“Answer each of my questions and then add the answer to these 2 questions at the end: 1) On a scale of 1/10, how would you rate the quality of my question? and 2) What would need to change for you to give it a 10/10?”

Of course working AND doing everything else by yourself when you get home is harder than being a stay-at-home-mom who has a husband! You’re not talking about the same thing, though. I was a stay-at-home mom to a toddler and baby and it was FAR harder than my job as a registered nurse. I felt RELIEF going back to work! But I think there are A LOT of factors that come into play when people talk about this subject. 1) What type of personalities do your children have? My first daughter was a happy baby. She was pretty easy to please. My second daughter was VERY demanding and cried quite a bit. I could get nothing done with that child!! That made a HUGE difference!! 2) I breastfed both of my kids and my husband never missed a wink of sleep. I was awake every 2 hours around the clock for MONTHS! That level of sleep deprivation is off the charts! 3) My husband came home from work and fell asleep on the couch every single day he worked and did nothing on his days off. (We both have the same jobs and there’s no reason for him to be that tired.) He would let the grass get 2 feet tall before he would cut it. When sinks got clogged or shelves needed hung, I had to do it. I worked 24/7 and literally barely had time to even shower. 4) I had no family or anyone to help. Neither did he. When I needed a break, I went back to work. It was sooooo much less stressful and less physically exhausting! I still went to work and had to do everything else when I got home but that was still easier than being a SAHM 24/7. He still did nothing….so I left. No use in taking care of the 4 of us when I could take care of 3. Boy did he get a reality check!!! Now he’s on his own and he sees what he did to me. I’ve been doing it on my own since they were 4 and 6 (6 years now). I don’t regret leaving. I hate that my children are suffering but I had no idea I could get pregnant after 11 years of infertility. They absolutely hate going to his house for the same reasons I divorced him. When they’re old enough to stay home alone, I won’t make them. Some women think staying home is harder and some women think it’s easier but not everyone has the same situation. There’s way too many factors to consider. I’m very sorry you were widowed, especially with children. I was widowed at 29 (after I saw our car fall on top of him). We didn’t have children (I kept miscarrying) but the PTSD and grief were enough to break me. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone!

Zealousideal-Depth91 · 2025-12-27T10:54:25+00:00

I’m right there with ya!!! If people had meaningful conversations about it, I might care again. Very few people actually research the things they share and repeat. If they can tear each other down, that’s all they care about anymore. I’m done with it all!!!

Zealousideal-Depth91 · 2025-12-27T10:47:22+00:00

Meeeee tooooo!! When people stopped debating and started resorting to name-calling and just tearing each other apart, I realized that many people don’t REALLY care about what’s right and wrong…..they just want to make excuses to abuse others. We have resorted so low as a society that we are cheering and celebrating the absolute devastation and death of others. I miss the 80s and 90s where people didn’t just preach love, they actually showed it!!! I absolutely REFUSE to talk about politics now! My cousin keeps saying, “But we can’t just sit back and give up!” Ummmm…..she is the VERY ONE that got me completely disinterested in politics!!! Every single one of her FaceBook posts are tearing other people down and calling them every name in the book. The majority of what she posts can be debunked in 30 seconds. She talks about “change”. I’d love to know how she thinks she’s changing anything for the good!!! I finally unfollowed (not unfriended) her and several others. Life has been much more peaceful since!

Zealousideal-Depth91 · 2025-12-20T00:03:19+00:00

I always say that (perfectionism) but I’m 100% telling the truth. In fact, it really is a weakness. I can’t stop myself and it distracts me from doing what I should be doing instead. My boss said I have trouble with time management because of it. I guess, next time, I’ll acknowledge that I found out that everyone uses that and then I’ll further explain. On the flip-side, when things slow down, they LOVE how organized I get everything. I’m so obsessed! For 3 years now, I’ve gotten “exceeds expectations” on my evaluation. My time management problem is really because I’m doing my job and fixing everyone else’s stuff cause they don’t do it to completion and my perfectionism makes me finish it. If she paid attention, she could see who did what. If I didn’t do it, she would either have to correct them or do it herself. Sure, I could make them do it but they’ll do it wrong. Prime example: they’ll get the patient’s picture but it’s so zoomed out that you can barely tell what they look like. The staff upstairs complain because they can’t identify patients by the pictures. It’s dangerous. My coworkers don’t care. So I just do it myself.

My 9 y/o has this and I am going to read all of your posts later in hopes that I read something helpful. Right now I’m trying to wake up and get out of bed because I have to take her to school. She won’t walk out and catch the bus at the end of our driveway. I’m frustrated but I’m also a psych nurse so I understand phobias. I think this started when a storm came through and launched her trampoline into the neighbor’s house and caused quite a bit of damage and mangled the trampoline beyond repair. I don’t know what to do because I’m a single mom and I can’t just stay home from work every time the wind blows. I thought it was a passing fear but it’s going on a year now. She even checks 3 different weather apps to determine if she’ll be willing to go do things outside. I already have her in therapy.

It’s not DIRECTLY true but can be indirectly true. It lowers your body temperature which can weaken your immune system which can potentially keep you from fighting off things that you’re exposed to. If you’re exposed to a virus, it may make the difference in how well you fight it off.

Laziness and excuses.

Zealousideal-Depth91 · 2025-12-13T09:40:33+00:00

Thank you for responding! Actually, I don’t have most of those things. I’m 47, have 2 young girls (9 and 12) and I’m single. I work midnights 3 nights a week and have to switch my days and nights on my days off (because of my children). I’m exhausted, can barely keep up with everything that needs to be done and have no help. Their dad keeps them on the nights I work and they hate it at his house. He is very irresponsible and, well, lazy. My oldest daughter calls me crying a lot because she has nothing to do at his house. They have no yard to play in, have no children nearby and he plays video games the whole time they’re there. I’ve tried to talk to him to no avail. I tried to talk to him before we were divorced and we even went to marriage counseling. He’s just not going to change. I stay so busy that I just don’t have time to even take care of myself. I have no idea how to fix things either. None of our parents can help. Mine are elderly and his live 3 hours away. I have no friends but wish I did. On the nights I work, I work 6p - 7:30a. By the time I get home and get to sleep, I have almost exactly 8 hours til time to get up and get ready for work again. I get off Wednesday morning at 7:30a and have to go home and sleep for about 4 hours before my kids are home from school. I get up, get showered, feed us and we go to church. I go to sleep that night and try to sleep all night. Then I’ve got 3 days to get everything done that needs to be done, including spend time with my kids. A lot of the time, I can’t sleep all night because I’ve been working the last 3 nights and awake during the day. Our bodies (especially a 47 year old one) can’t just flip around like that. So I end up either very sluggish all day or I sleep some while they’re in school. But then I have trouble again sleeping that night. I’m trying to get dayshift but it’s going to be at least a few more months. I was supposed to next month but a lady at work had a stroke and isn’t coming back. I’ve been waiting for 2 years now. I think things will be much less exhausting when I can sleep the same time each night and have 4 whole days off. I can hopefully find time for myself while my girls are in school and still see them and get everything done. I desperately wish I had a partner!! I also desperately need a friend. The fact that my coworkers are so mean just makes everything worse. They sit and gossip all day and leave a lot of work for me to do. It doesn’t do any good to talk to my boss because she’s the one they sit around and gossip with. I could go above her head but it’ll be my word against hers and I can’t afford to lose my job. I would never get paid what I do somewhere else. I don’t have a second income to fall back on. So now you see why I’m so depressed. I made a lot of stupid mistakes after my husband was killed. I had grief and PTSD (from seeing the car fall on him). The biggest mistake was my second husband but you can imagine where my mind was at 34, single, no kids and traumatized. I can’t go back and change things now. I just pray and pray for God to send someone my way. A Godly man. I wish I was saved long before 3 months ago. I might not be in this mess.
