Question Everything
No one is perfect, everyone at some point will hurt those around them.
Nothing is secure, nothing is safe, no one deserves our trust or faith...
so... which path have you chosen? Do you think:
a) it is best to remain isolated and unattached, do not join a church, do not get married, keep all interactions professional and courteous but do not get overly involved with anyone or any specific group.
b) Get married even though they might cheat on you. Join a church even though you don't agree with everything, and you feel a little used (they will take your time, take your money, take take take). Love, trust, and have faith in others even though they are not perfect and will break your trust, not return your love etc.
What is more important?
What are your limits?
Hillary did not leave Bill Clinton after he cheated on her... should she have?
Many Catholics, Baptists, Mormons, Muslims, etc. etc. have not left their faith even though their church has done horrible things - should they? Should everyone leave their church because it is not perfect? Leave their marriage, their family because it is not perfect?
What is the biggest thing you have forgiven someone for? Why did you forgive? What personal securities are you willing to sacrifice in order to stay connected with others?
Is it possible to have love without trust, community without agreement - are those who lack faith and trust missing out on deeper connections with those around them?
The only way not to be isolated and lone - is to have love, faith and trust in fallen corrupt abusive establishments and people (and all people and establishments are fallen, imperfect, and even abusive at times)?
What do you think? not just what do you think, what experiences have you had - what do you trust, what have you had to forgive?
5 reasons Americans are lonely
A recent study found that people feel disconnected from everyday life...
Nearly half of Americans report feeling alone (46%) or left out (47%).

What is more important?
- Being part of an imperfect community (family, religious, or other).
- Protecting yourself from being used.
