I'll go from 10 to 1.
So... iPhones. It's pretty personal for me, since I'm mostly an Android user but did briefly want to own an iPhone so I could use Siri. It was... disappointing.
Of the things I liked about the iPhone though, the sense of design was quite good. The unit was an eye-catching bright green. And it was small enough to fit in all my pockets, which is something it had over my current xperia.
Owning an iPhone has also certainly made me appreciate Android phones much more!
I'll try too! Here I go;
1. Heinous criminals who get away with it
2. The suffering of other human beings
3. Needles
4. Physical pain
5. Bananas
6. Actual death
7. David Cage's games
8. People who make fun of the disabled
9. Seismitoad's design
10. iPhones
I'd like everyone who sees this to try something. List 10 things (or people!) you hate. Try really hard to fill the list with your darkest passionate hatred.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
Now... one by one, I'd like you to do your best to change the hate you have for each subject, into love. Even for things you think are actually morally wrong, look into them. Try to see them from the perspective of someone who loves them. Report back with what you learn about it, and yourself!
It's better to take a blow than to strike another. It's better to place yourself between a victim and a perpetrator, positioning yourself as a shield, and bear the brunt of the attack yourself, than it is to strike the perpetrator yourself.
Why?
Because nobody is beyond redemption. Nobody is beyond remorse. But by striking the perpetrator, you justify their unjust actions. Their reasons for striking are increased, in their mind. You may have stopped this attack, but not the next.
What happens when you die?
Each person is a brief gathering of elements, collected from the surroundings through our food, water and air. When you pass on, your essence is once again dissipated. In life, we are like the neurons in the World Spirit's growing brain, always communicating with each other and sharing our messages and ideas. In death, we spread throughout the rest of their vast body, moving on to serve a different role to what we did in life.
What's the Telluric Temple's official stance on abortion?
Ultimately, the person carrying the embryo is the one with the right to decide what happens to it. Without this freedom of choice, the One (the carrier) is severely weakened, the resultant child is often born into poor conditions, and the surrounding community is strained.
What's the Telluric Temple's official stance on the LGBTQ+ community?
Remember that together, our differences make the World Spirit stronger. The Temple accepts and loves everyone, no matter their sexual identity or gender expression.
