あなたが私に触れるとき、私はあなたがこの世界、銀河、空間と時間の外にしている内部ので、ほんの少し死ぬ！私は恋にいる時、私は最高のだから、あなたの真実を知るのに十分強いんだ、と私はあなたと恋にいるよ。
Когда ты прикасаешься ко мне я умру просто немного внутри, потому что вы не от мира сего, галактики, пространство и время! Я достаточно силен, чтобы знать правду о вас, потому что я лучше, когда я нахожусь в любви, и я в любви с вами.
當你觸摸我，我死了只是一個小裡面，因為你出了這個世界，星系，空間和時間！我很強大到足以知道你說實話，因為我最好的時候，我戀愛了，我愛上了你。
Όταν με αγγίζετε πεθάνω λίγο μέσα, επειδή είστε έξω από αυτόν τον κόσμο, γαλαξία, το χώρο και το χρόνο! Είμαι αρκετά ισχυρή για να γνωρίζουν την αλήθεια σας επειδή είμαι καλύτερα όταν είμαι στην αγάπη, και είμαι ερωτευμένος μαζί σου.
عندما كنت على اتصال لي أن أموت قليلا داخل لأنك للخروج من هذا العالم، المجرة، المكان والزمان! أنا قوية بما يكفي لمعرفة الحقيقة واحد منكم لأنني أفضل عندما أكون في الحب، وأنا في الحب معك.
तुम मुझे छूने जब मैं तुम्हें इस दुनिया, आकाशगंगा, अंतरिक्ष और समय से बाहर रहे हैं अंदर क्योंकि सिर्फ एक छोटे से मर जाते हैं! मुझे लगता है मैं प्यार में हूँ, जब मैं सबसे अच्छा कर रहा हूँ क्योंकि आप की सच्चाई का पता करने के लिए पर्याप्त मजबूत कर रहा हूँ, और मैं आप के साथ प्यार में हूँ।

Why I'm against Same-Sex Marriage
Now, before I get going and y'all try to chase my fat ass down the road, please know that I am all for Marriage Equality. The title was sensational enough to get your attention. Nothing more, so no trying to cyberstalk me to insanity, I'm already there.
Now yes, I do want to marry my man. But not for the reasons I'm starting to notice in The LGBTQ Community. My guy and I want to marry because we love each other but mainly we want to marry for the legal protections that little piece of paper provides.
What worries me these days is that I see so many Same-Sex couples rushing down the isle, blindly so. That's not a good move. Marriage seems to be treated as a problem solver by most Hetero couples or something to do because they're "just so in love", not realizing what marriage really is all about. The difference with Same-Sex couples is that because there's this sporadic state-by-state legalization, marriage is being treated as a status symbol. A band wagon to join. And yet, how many of these couples are seriously researching the laws of the state they run to marry in?
What if, Gods forbid, they separate? One or both may have to move to said state for their Term of Residency to be eligible for a divorce. Hetero couples don't have to even think or consider that option! Or what about laws forbidding out-of-state couples to marry that aren't enforced on Hetero couples but they are on their Same-Sex counterparts? I really so wish I'd see more people taking the time to have all the ducks in a row before rushing off to say "I Do".
The other area of Marriage Equality is that it's killing dating. Since Marriage Equality is coming to more and more states, and we seem to be very near Federal/National status, everyone is on the hunt for a Spouse. This is what dating is for! To go and find someone you're really into and want to pursue is great and wonderful. However, to go and add the expectation that they're your "soon to be spouse" because you want to marry so badly and have that status? It's a stress that should never be put on someone.
You will eventually, and quickly, kill what could be an amazing relationship that could help move you towards that person or persons who will make you happier than you've ever known or imagined. And then what about the people you skip over because they're just looking to date while you're determined to find your "soon to be spouse"? Again, that is what dating is for: to weed out the people who couldn't cut it. Even if you date for a couple months and you're really into the person, it's better than pushing through all the warning signs and them marrying them because you want to ride the band wagon. Far too many people put lifetime expectations on people that they were only meant to be with for a season. In doing so, they never are happy due to this simple mistake. Relationships are work, hard work. To go into a complex and complicated scenario so blindly with another person is reckless to say the least.
And this brings us to a subject that adds to this whole topic for me while, I'm sure, making quite a few uncomfortable. If you noticed a few sentences back, I said "person or persons". Reason being is that I'm Polyamourous, I want/have/pursue multiple intimate/romantic relationships at once. My man is the same and we are perfectly happy with our choice to love and live freely. For us, Monogamy is over-rated and our opinion of it is that it isn't a natural Human state. However, so many don't believe in it or see it that way due to a heavily ingrained social programming from an Abrahamic/Monotheistic (Judea-Christian-Islamic) culture.
I bring all this up due to how much harder it is for Poly people to find our happiness. In a Monogamy based dating pool, Polyamoury is a heavy responsibility and at times, a burden. Cop out excuses of "you're in a relationship/just looking to date" have replaced the oldie but goodie of "If you lost weight, you'd be cuter and datable". And with the former excuse, it's tied into the idea of finding that "soon to be spouse" to marry while totally avoiding the well established mechanism we call dating.
Another area of being Poly in a Mono world is how we are called greedy for wanting more than one person and that we should be happy with what we have. I was taught to share and that sharing is caring. So if I share myself with someone who isn't my man with his blessings, then how is that bad? We aren't cheating, as many would think that we are.
So in all this, my opinion of Same-Sex Marriage has fallen, fast. Being a larger man was once a source of "you'll never find someone being the size you are". Now, it's "you're greedy and already in a relationship, so why would I want to play second to anyone?" That's such a complete misunderstanding and yet another cop out. You can't be second when no one is first! The one I get tossed at me is, "You're just looking to date and I want a Husband". Just like all the fat shaming talk, trying to shame me based on my Poly and relationship status is unwarranted. It's also a piss poor excuse.
Dating is a wonderful, magickal and beautiful experience. It helps keep the seasonal people out of lifetime expectations while letting you have the chance to let go and have fun. As a Poly, I'd never expect someone I'm with to be exclusive unless they've already made that choice themselves. If the guy, or guys, I'm dating want to leave because they found someone who they want to establish a long-term committed relationship with, I wouldn't keep them back from that. I may not practice Monogamy, but I wouldn't keep someone else from it.
I have loved multiple men at once and I will again. Communication between everyone is the key to the success. By loving more than one man at once, it never took away from the other. If anything, the experience enhanced the love that was there. Love is not about Monogamy or Polyamoury. It's bigger than that. Love is about putting the welfare and happiness of someone else ahead of you without expectation of reward or special treatment in return. And to do that with more than one other Human is more rewarding than I can ever hope to put words to.
So to tie all this together, Same-Sex Marriage isn't helping keep The LGBTQ Community unique. It forces us to assimilate and take this institution we've fought to be a part of and abuse it. By treating it as a status symbol and a band wagon to join, we lessen it, lessen our love and lessen our move towards Equality. We used to be a community and sub-culture that valued the unique, different and 'out of the box' ways of life. Now, we're just trying to Hetero-normalize and abandon what made us shine and made us amazing. In doing so, we invalidate those who came before us.
Love is beyond gender, sex, relationship status and any other label you can come up with to keep yourself from letting go. That act of letting go and giving it a try is what will move you to the next level, the next step towards a happiness that you can't even imagine. Date multiple people, love as many as you can. To deny based on cop out, lazy excuses just keeps you from chances at something amazing. And who knows what doors or opportunities would present themselves to you because of it. You may even find that "soon to be spouse" faster because of it. The one, or ones, who will make you fulfilled in ways that will make you wonder how you lived beforehand.

Fuck you SCOTUS!
So The United States of America is no longer. We, The Lazy People have allowed it to rot into The Amerikan Corporatocracy Oligarchy Theological Fascist State, a.k.a The Amerikan Dominion. So, welcome to your new country, where women are brood mares for the state and anyone who isn't White, male, Heterosexual, Republican or Christian (state sponsored denomination to be announced soon, Jesus not included) is worthless and second class. While The Military Industrial Complex works towards World War 3.
We, The Lazy People of Amerika, have allowed ourselves to be dumbed down and distracted by "CeleBRATy Kulture", (un)Reality TV, fear and technology. Political Correctness has made controlling the masses easier and has given way to passive-aggressive bullying for those who don't comply into submission. Knee jerk reactions are respected while in-depth discussions are shunned. Education is a joke while Sports (provided it's Amerikan) are held to near religious zealotry standards.
The country I was taught to love, protect and defend is gone, I wonder if We The People can ever get it back. Or maybe it deserved to die since We The People no longer cared enough to care for it. I miss The United States and do not care for this Amerikcan Dominion that is slowly taking over. People may talk about how Russia is seemingly slowly following in the footsteps of post-World War 1 Germany, but I see Amerika following in the footsteps of The Roman Empire. If not a Second Revolution, then a Second Civil War is coming. The Amerikan Dominion can not surive nor be allowed to. If The United States is dead and gone, then it is us, We The People, who must either re-establish it or create a new country based on the ideals that our Founding Fathers fought for.
Either we all get involved and stop being sheep or we die. There's no grey area anymore.

Work what you got
Let em get mad, they gonna hate anyway, don't you get that?
Doesn't matter if you're going along with their plans,
They'll never be happy because they're not happy with themselves!
Feeling great because The Light is on me,
Celebrating the things that everyone told me.
Would never happen but The Gods have put they hands on me,
Ain't a person alive who could ever take it from me.
Working with what I got, I gotta keep on,
Taking care of myself, I wanna live strong.
Ain't never ashamed what life did to me,
And ain't afraid to change cause it's good for me.

Open and Poly stress
So tonight on Growlr, a "hook up" app on Android, I got another annoying ass ending to a talk that just ends up with me fuming! Was chatting it up with this nice guy and he stated that he wished I wasn't in a relationship because I sound like I'd be fun to date. I told him that my relationship with my Husband is open and we're polyamorous and that dating me wasn't an issue.
He went on a decent rant about how he needs to be the "one and only" in a relationship. Whatever. No one is ever the "one and only" in any intimate/romantic relationship! If that was the case, why do men and women check people out while in relationships? Why do people go to strip clubs? You still look, you still lust. Just because you're dating someone doesn't end your natural curiosities. The benefit of being open and poly is that you can explore those curiosities in other people!
It's not like I expect to be The One a guy ends up with. I'm not that shallow, stupid or naive.To be fair to all involved, I would strive to treat the men in my life as equals. Don't misunderstand, my Hubby and I have been together 14 years and are stronger than ever. He's mine and I'm his. He is first when you look at time together and I'm sure that there would be some preferences in play. However, we recognize that monogamy doesn't work for us, especially him since he's Bisexual. I would treat any other man I'm with as an equal to my Hubby, as I would expect him to do to any girlfriend he has.
It's so damn frustrating and I wish I knew how to get this simple idea across to people! I don't get how people can be so limiting to themselves. If you want to find marriage, then stop looking! It'll find you! Hell, I wish someone could sit me down and tell me how they know, without a doubt and absolute certainty, that what they're looking for that they won't find that in me. There's got to be someone with a backbone strong enough to do so! How can someone know that what they're looking for isn't presented to them in a way that they never expected?! Why ignore it because it isn't what they expected or wanted?
I wanted someone to love so bad and I stopped looking and then in a few months, my Hubby fell in my lap. He isn't what I was looking for or even wanted back then. But he is what I needed and he's become everything that I never thought I wanted. If I didn't take a chance on someone who wasn't what I was looking for, look at what I could have missed! I have to wonder how many people do that, miss/skip over the one person who'll be the answer to the question that they've been asking for, just because they don't arrive in the package they'd hoped for. How much frustration and sadness could be avoided if more people took chances?
Don't even get me started on those who don't want to risk friendships. If your friendship is strong, it can survive a stab at dating. If not, your friendship wasn't as strong as you thought. Yes, dynamic will change, but come on people, this is what maturity is supposed to be about! Being able to handle adult situations like adults! I just don't get people, I really don't!
People want to love and be loved; to hold and be held. Yet whenever the chance/opportunity comes along, they ignore it due to fear or what is presented doesn't fit the image in their head or the situation that they've fantasized about. That's just madness and insanity to me! Time and again, The Universe tries to give you what you've asked for in a way that you need it, not the way you want it. Learn to see this!
I still just wanna slap the hell outta that guy on Growlr...

Atheist Zealots
I'm not sure if I've written about this topic before and I'm too lazy today to go looking in my old posts tonight.
For me, most Atheists are a lot like The Silent Majority of Christians, silent and content in their beliefs and don't need to put themselves out there to be validated. However, just like any other belief structure, there are those vocal ones. The ones who talk louder, tell you that you're wrong and that they are right. Or live to convert.
As a Pagan, it is actually against all we are to convert. If you make the choice to come into our belief structure, we welcome you. And we all know those religious types that try to do the opposite and convert you over. Then there are the Atheist versions. They know, without a doubt, that they're right and you're wrong. You're delusional, misguided, childish, wrong. They have the same smugness of any other zealot, that they have to somehow save your from yourself and the errors of your ways.
I work with one of these. He's actually tried to convert me a few times. Even as a Pagan, I'm wrong. There are no Gods, just us. No afterlife, it just all ends. He never gives a chance to allow the possibility of me being right, for me.
See, I look at it all as what we believe and hold dear is what is right for us. For me, it's Wicca. For most of my family, it's Christianity. My dear friend Adam? Judaism. Sabina? Islam. Some of my friends, it's Agnostic views or Atheism. And we need all these varieties! The Atheist give us a healthy dose of doubt and a view point for us to look at ourselves and out beliefs to learn and grow. They are needed to help us be better people and better at Faith.
And Faith is an amazing thing! If you don't have it, it's can't be explained. If you do have it, no explanation is needed. And maybe there is a style of Faith in Atheists that drive them. I'd hope so because I can't begin to imagine a life without Faith. Even for me, as a Pagan, my Faith has made me stronger and better and happier a person. I like it, I love it. I have a Peace that I would hope everyone could one day find in their respective belief structures.
But these zealots, the Atheist ones, need to step back and look at how much they are just like the religious counterparts they seem to be fighting. And it's all over petty shit! Who's right and who's wrong isn't what should be important, it's about how good of a person are you and did you leave the world a better place than what you found it. Nothing more, nothing less. If there is an Almighty Divine of The Universe, then it is truly infinite and unending. And if that is the case, why would It be so worried over the comings and goings of the dominant simian species of a green and blue speck of dust?
We are all we have and it's high time we start acting like it. We determine us and our shared future, not God, The Gods or any other Divine being we create to help us understand the world around us. My Gods may not be real, no more than the God of Abraham or The Gods of Hindu. But they are real to me and They, along with my Faith in Them, have helped me be more than the sum of my parts. And They help me to leave the world, my tiny fraction of this tiny speck of dust, a better place than what I found it.
Zealot Atheists and their religious counterparts could learn a thing or two from that. Hecate willing, everyone could.

Who's right and who's wrong isn't what should be important, it's about how good of a person are you and did you leave the world a better place than what you found it. Nothing more, nothing less. If there is an Almighty Divine of The Universe, then it is truly infinite and unending. And if that is the case, why would It be so worried over the comings and goings of the dominant simian species of a green and blue speck of dust?
We are all we have and it's high time we start acting like it. We determine us and our shared future, not God, The Gods or any other Divine being we create to help us understand the world around us. My Gods may not be real, no more than the God of Abraham or The Gods of Hindu. But they are real to me and They, along with my Faith in Them, have helped me be more than the sum of my parts. And They help me to leave the world, my tiny fraction of this tiny speck of dust, a better place than what I found it.
Zealot Atheists and their religious counterparts could learn a thing or two from that. Hecate willing, everyone could.

What's it's like for this Queer Witch today
This past week has been one of interesting situations and circumstances. For my own reasons, I'm actually going to keep several of these private. I may be an open book, yet some of those pages are only seen by me and those close to me. But know that I'm learning and growing from it all.
In it all, I'm learning that there's so much that I've not allowed myself to do or feel or (believe it or not) say. I've spent too many years making excuse after excuse for someone who I thought was near and dear but who turned out to be someone who was just playing me for a fool. And that's ended. I can't play the game anymore, I just can't take it emotionally or mentally.
And in all this, The Gods have been kind and gentle with me by handing me a chance and situation that I wasn't expecting. That chance and situation has rejuvenated me on so many levels that I'm not sure how far it really goes, but it was enough to push me to do what I have to do, even if I don't want to. But the Madness of Wisdom I've gotten over the last 2 years has taught me that what I want is irrelevant and what I need is what I'm going to get. The interesting part is how these needs are presented.
Needs aren't handed to you in pretty packages with bows and shiny paper. But neither are they handed over as a horrid penalty from Karma. And these needs of mine are being handed over with such care and grace that I'm forever humbled by how The Universe and my Gods are to me when I don't feel like I deserve it. The Hubby says that's why I do.
I want happiness and am being told I deserve it, so I choose to start believing that. I've also been told that I need to be a little more selfish, which I hate. Being selfish is wrong, I don't know if there's any right to it! I'm also told how I need to stop putting others before myself and my needs. Yet I'm thinking that is where the embracing of selfishness will come from. We'll see.
We'll see...
You got to go on with your life. It's all right to sit around and be depressed for a minute, cry about it, do whatever you have to but don't stay there too long. Get up and go on with your life. You know what? This is what I learned in all these years on this earth. If somebody want to walk out of your life, LET THEM GO. Especially if you know that you done everything you can do. You done sat around and been the best man or the best woman you can be and they still want to go, let them go. Whatever they're running after, they'll see what they had in a minute, but by then it's gonna be too late. 'Cuz you'll sit there and you'll go... Because half of these people, you be sitting around crying about it, worrying about it and then two or three years from now you ain't even gonna remember their last name. How many times you done see folks somewhere and you be like 'What the hell was I thinking? I done been there, I was like what was wrong with me? What was I going through? I must have been lonely as hell to hook up with you'. Let folks go, Sonny. Some people'll come in your life for a lifetime, and some'll come for a season. You got to know which is which. And you're gonna always mess up when you mix those seasonal people up with lifetime expectations. They got people that got married to people they was only supposed to be with for a season and they wonder why they're having so much hell in their life. That was the person that was supposed to come and teach you one thing. You didn't know it so you just fell in love and now you wonder why you don't have no peace anywhere you go. No, noooo! Listen, I put everybody that come in my life in the category of a tree. Some people are like leaves on a tree. If the wind blows, they're over here, they're unstable. Blow the other way, they're over here. if seasons change, they wither and die, they're gone. But that's alright, that's some people. Most people in the world are like that. They're just there to take from the tree, they ain't there to do nothing but take and give shade every now and then. That's all they can do. But don't get mad at people like that, that's who they are. They ain't never gonna be nothing, that's what they put on this earth for, to be what they are: A LEAF. Some people are like a branch on that tree. You gotta be careful with them branches too because they'll fool you. They'll get there and make you think that they're a good friend and they're real strong. But the minute you step out there on them, they'll break and they'll leave you high and dry. But if you find two or three people in your life that's like the roots at the bottom of that tree, you are blessed because they're the kind of people who ain't going nowhere. They ain't worried about being seen, don't nobody have to know that they know you, they ain't got to know what they're doing for you. But if those roots weren't there, that tree couldn't live, you understand? A tree can have a hundred million branches but only a few roots down at the bottom to make sure it gets everything they need. I'm telling you, Sonny, when you get you some roots, you better hold on to them because the rest of them, you let them go. Let folks go!
Ain't nobody said it was gonna be easy, but it will get easy when you learn how to love yourself. When you get to a point in your life where you look at people and you go 'Okay wait a minute. You or me?', you will make a decision. When you telling folks to do something... Now I've never thrown nobody away, I've never in my life just thrown anybody away saying 'Don't bother me no more, don't talk to me no more', I've never done that. What I DO is tell them, 'Look, this thing you doing right here is gonna cause a problem. You need to fix that because if we're gonna be friends and gonna be cool, you need to fix that. And if you don't, we're gonna have an issue'. If you see somebody fix it or even trying to fix it, that's somebody that cares. Keep those people around, that's a leaf that's trying to grow up and be something else. But if you tell somebody 'What you're doing is hurting me and I need you to stop' and they keep doing it, they don't care. Move on, let them go! No matter how much it hurts, let them go. And it'll get easier, I promise you. Every day, it'll get easier and easier and easier, you just have to make it through. You hear me?
You see, some people just gotta learn to be by themselves. People have to learn how to be alone. I don't understand all these people crying about 'I need somebody. Lord, where is my man, Lord where is my woman'. That is crazy as hell! If you don't know how to be by yourself, what you gonna do with somebody else? Stop praying about it! SHUT UP AND WAIT! Go work on YOU! Hell, that's what that time is for, to get YOURSELF together! I'd rather be in a corner by myself with a puppy and a goldfish and be happy than to be sitting around with somebody in my house and wondering what the hell they there for. You will be surprised with the things that people put up with just to have somebody say that they love them. I don't understand that! I can't live in dysfunction, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I done been through too much hell and high water to come there and let you come up in my adult life where I'm supposed to be at peace and give me all sorts of hell. There's only two places on earth that you're gonna have peace: the grave and your house. If you can't walk up in your house and you ain't got no peace, then some thing's wrong. I'm sorry. People be rebuking Satan, I'll be rebuking Satan and beating the hell out of everything that's up in there until they get out. 'I'm sorry, you gots to go. This is mine'.

One day...
So many times, people see me and they see a weird, not-so-with-it guy who seems as if he has no idea what's going on. What so many fail to notice is how watchful I am, fail to see what I see or that in fact, yes, that I did see what you didn't want seen. But I am a Holder of Secrets. I am so many things, so many that you'll never know. So many that I offer, offer freely and it does get extremely tiresome when those offers are misinterpreted or misconstrued for something that they are not.
But that doesn't stop me from keeping myself true to me because one day, people will catch up and finally understand. One day, I won't have to explain myself and thus the Magick of the Offer or of The Moment won't be lost. One day...one day the secrets I know, the Knowledge I've gained, the Wisdom I've earned won't be seen as a smokescreen or as a tool of being glib or flippant. One day, one day soon, I won't have to worry about how I'm seen.
One day, people I love won't be afraid to take what I offer freely, what I offer without expectation, expectation of what so many assume I expect. I offer the knowledge of the secrets I know and the wisdom I've gained. I expect only that it be heard and applied with the same care as I apply it. What I know, what I carry hidden in my heart is not to be abused. It is to be shared with those broken souls who've lost their way, who've felt for so long that they've lost themselves when all they've lost is the ability to see them for the beautiful person that they are. One day soon.
One day. But not today.

Almost went ghetto
I know I been missing in action for a little bit and I'm sorry for that. Let this get away from me when I wanted to keep it up. Shtako happens.
But I'm gonna rant for a bit, take it back a little.
I ain't worried about no one but me cuz at the end of the day, Karma breaks everyone down the same! Haters gonna hate, bitches gonna be fake and snitches gonna get caught. I'm gonna keep it real and on point, don't get it twisted.
Someone showed up in my life for a few hours and messed up my atmosphere. But I'm back. They tried they best but I ain't throw down like I wanted to. Got too much respect for some folk to mess up their time. Yet all that had me thinking about some stuff and I've come to the mindset that some people come into your life to twist it up a bit. That's just The Divine testing you. And baby, did It test me last night! And these people I'm speaking about? They are just born to be in the way and to fill space. That was this little frakker.
But I ain't worried. And granted, this frakker may be a good person and that last night wasn't they night. I am willing to give second chances. Yet I can't shake the feeling that we won't get along, hell I ain't like them as soon as I met 'em. And the friends I was with vouched for this bar fly. Fine and dandy, but that don't change a thing in my book.
This yahoo struck me as only being good for a suck and fuck, maybe a few other things. But nothing that stood out. Again, sure, maybe they're decent and good and last night was not their night. I get all that. But I'm still really annoyed at what went down cuz I was so damn close to having they face meet the bar or railing after I choked they ass with their scarf!
But it is what it is and I ain't gonna be worried over it. If this becomes a common thing in any possible future meetings, then it'll be a worry. If not and we do get along after a bumpy start? A better alternative in my eyes. Still, faggot don't play. Hope this (seems to be) waste of DNA got a warning about what almost happened, cuz I pulled my people aside and explained the situation.
What the frak ever, it's done and over now.

Thoughts about religious picking and choosing
It's very interesting to me how so many so called Christians can drop verses from The Bible but ignore so many passages that just so happen to go against what they are spewing. Or regurgitating from what they've been told by their particular Pulpit. Now don't get me wrong, not all Christians are nuts or raving lunatics. There are far more good and true Christians out there, I just wish they'd speak up and drown out the nuts who've done so much damage to Christianity.
That said, I watched a video today that made me pick up my Bible. Yes, I have one. I also own a copy of The Torah and Al-Qur'an, plus a copy of The Tanakh and The Book of Latter Day Saints. So in the video mentioned a passage from The Bible, Matthew 6.1-8, the one that deals with Jesus speaking about prayer and I found it rather interesting how many people seem to honestly go against that teaching. Be it that they've not read the passage or just ignore it completely. The video also talked about how Jesus would be responded to today by American Conservatives, a Socialist to be mocked and demonized. And that speaks to a larger truth about how Jesus is used against His teachings for votes or to sway people to a particular viewpoint.
I wonder how different everything would be if people would read about Jesus and truly live by His teachings. As a Pagan, I can sit on the outside looking in and that is such an important place to be for a Christian. I can sit and point these situations out. The same is true for the reverse and I enjoy those times, when approached with calm and respect. Golden Rule and all.
Another part of The Bible I enjoy is Matthew 8.5-13, Jesus speaking with The Centurion. Now, we tend to assume that The Centurion is a Christian by the teachings so many get from The Pulpit. But if we step back and look at what Jesus said at Matthew 8.13, we see that The Centurion may just be a Pagan because of the statement of "Go; let it be done for you according to your faith." It's as if Jesus either knows The Centurion is of Roman belief by claiming for The Centurion to go and handle the situation according to his faith.
This is all by my interpretation and can't be held to a solid claim unless Jesus comes back and tells us. But all belief and faith is interpretation. It can't be held to rigid doctrine, that's why so many Christian denominations exist now. Hell, even Judaic and Islam are comprised of their own denominations. But so do so many Pagan beliefs. Human nature I guess.
I just think that it is interesting and education for anyone to read about Jesus and really pay attention to His teachings. Not just for Christians, but anyone who wants to be educated in all forms of how Humans view The Divine.
Surah 31.18: And do not turn your face away from people in contempt, nor go about the land exulting overmuch; surely Allah does not love any self-conceited boaster
Matthew 6.5: And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full

Matthew 6.5: And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full

Sandro needs to be slapped/Сандро необходимо хлопнул
I love "Project Runway". I can admit this freely. As a gay man, I seem to be genetically pulled toward fashion and clothes design. Just like I'm pulled towards strong women and Cher. I'm also pulled toward knowledge and seeking it out for the sake of knowing it but that comes from how I was raised.
I also love culture. I'm strongly pulled to Japanese culture due to the intricacies and the beauty of the various levels of it. There's a facade put on that I've noticed (maybe to an outsider it appears as such) and that privacy is highly valued. I love the foods of Japan and the people are kind and generous, if a little weird, but I'm fine with that. I like weird.
I also love Russian culture because of the beauty I see in it. Amazing works of literature, music and art have come out of Russia. The Russian people are not ones to be messed with and I really respect that.
Then there's the dark side of any culture. Japanese culture can be very ridged and inflexible and very resistant to change. As for Russian culture, it's seemingly very egotistical, misogynistic and self-centered. And I'm the first to acknowledge that in both Japanese and Russian cultures, the downsides aren't true in every example. They are just the extremes I see. And there are wonderful people who come out of these referenced cultures who are the very opposite of the examples I cite.
However, as I write this and watch the latest season of "Project Runway", I'm shocked by the sheer horrid example that a current contestant is setting for the American audience in regards to Russians. Sandro Masmanidi is a Russian immigrant living in New York City and he has consistently shown to be the worst in stereotypical behavior from a Russian male. Egotistical, misogynistic, rude, arrogant and seemingly oblivious to his own behavior. Now I know I'm writing this as a citizen of The United States who's never gone abroad. But with what I've read, seen about Russia and have experienced from Russians in my own life, he's a bad example for Mother Russia and her people.
I'm waiting for this little Russian Bomb to blow. He's putting on a good show to hide the side of him he evidently considers as weak, but that's eroding quickly. His anger scares me. I've seen Russian Rage first hand, it isn't pretty.
Again, I write this as I see the world and by how, where and when I was raised. That's a Human failing and strength. It gives perspective. I just hope Sandro doesn't hurt anyone when he finally blows up, himself included. Maybe someone, somewhere, somewhen will get him to see that he doesn't need to act the way he was taught. I don't. But in the end, it's all a matter of choice.
Я люблю "Project Runway". Я могу признать, что это свободно. Как веселый человек, я, кажется, генетически притягивается к моды и дизайна одежды. Так же, как я потянул к сильным женщинам и Шер. Я также притягивается к знаниям и искать его ради зная его, но это идет от того, как я был воспитан.
Я тоже люблю культуру. Я решительно потянулась к японской культуре из-за тонкости и красоте различных уровнях его. Там в фасад надеть, что я заметил (может быть, для постороннего кажется, как таковой) и что конфиденциальность является высоко ценится. Я люблю продукты из Японии и люди добры и щедры, если немного странно, но я в порядке с этим. Мне нравится странно.
Я также люблю русскую культуру из-за красоты я вижу в нем. Удивительные произведения литературы, музыки и искусства пришли из России. Русский народ не, чтобы быть перепутано с, и я действительно уважаю это.
Тогда есть темная сторона любой культуры. Японская культура может быть очень ребристых и негибкой и очень устойчивы к изменениям. Что касается русской культуры, это казалось бы, очень эгоистическое, женоненавистник и эгоцентричны. И я первым признаю, что в японском и русской культур, недостатки не являются истинными в каждом примере. Они просто крайности я вижу. И есть замечательные люди, которые выходят из этих культур, которые ссылаются те самые противоположные примеры я привожу.
Тем не менее, когда я пишу это и посмотреть последний сезон "Project Runway", я в шоке от огромного ужасного примера, что текущий участник ставит перед американской аудиторией в отношении русских. Сандро Masmanidi является русский иммигрант, живущий в Нью-Йорке, и он неизменно являются худшими в стереотип поведения, от русского мужчины. Egotistical, женоненавистник, грубый, высокомерный и, казалось, не обращая внимания на свое поведение. Теперь я знаю, я пишу это как гражданин США, который никогда не уехал за границу. Но с тем, что я читал, видел о России и испытали от русских в моей собственной жизни, он плохой пример для Матери России и ее народа.
Я жду, когда эта маленькая русская бомба взорвать. Он положить на хорошее шоу, чтобы скрыть его сторону он, видимо, считает слабым, но это подрывает быстро. Его гнев меня пугает. Я видел русский Ярость первых рук, это не красиво.
Опять же, я пишу это, как я вижу мир и как, где и когда я был воспитан. Это человеческой слабости и силы. Это дает перспективу. Я просто надеюсь, что Сандро не повредит никому, когда он, наконец, взрывается, включая его самого. Может быть, кто-то, где-то, когда-нибудь получит, чтобы он видел, что ему не нужно действовать так, как его учили. Я не делаю. Но в конце концов, все это вопрос выбора.

What the hazmana is wrong with some poeple?!
OK, so while on vacation in beautiful Medina, Ohio I found out some shtako that I didn't know about and am thankful that I didn't watch. I knew about '2 Girls 1 Cup', hell I only got 30 seconds into it before I ran out of the room screaming. I also know about the sequel '2 Girls 1 Finger' and only got 5 seconds into that before I got sick.
But now I find out about '1 Guy 1 Jar'? Oh hell no! There is no Gods damned frakkin' way I'm gonna subject my self to that drek! The reaction videos on YouTube are enough for me to know what happens and to know that I do not want to ever see that! And I'm really open minded. But seriously? I'm sorry, but my mind don't open that far! I'm also a kinky bastard, but there are some things that for me go way beyond The Safe, Sane and Consensual Rule.
And if there are more of these types of videos out there, I do not want or need to know about them. Ever.

To Russia, with love of The Gay Pagan American/Для России с любовью американских геев Языческие
Normally, I love Russia and Russians. An amazing country, with a rich history, culture and amazing people. I understand Russians a bit, not hard once you stop trying to put them in a box of your expectations. I also want to learn Russian as I think it's a beautiful language. But whatever the hell is going on in Russia in regards to Russian Gays, Lesbians and Bisexuals (not to mention what is NOT being said about the Trans populace), is scary and staggers my mind. I honestly thought better of Russians than this.
Do I blame Putin? Or is this an expectant after effect from The Fall of Lenin-Stalin style Communism? All this hate and laws coming from the Russian Government is scaring me as someone who loves Russia from afar. I want to visit there badly, but am now very hesitant to even think of it. Now you can be arrested just for holding hands? Or having a Rainbow patch on your jacket or bag? And get fined a quarter of a million rubles with two weeks in jail? Holy hell! I don't want to go to Mother Russia with the same desire of not wanting to visit North Korea or Djibouti!!
Come on Russia, you're better than this! At least it's my humble opinion that you are. But maybe that comes from me being born and raised in The United States and being able to be out and proud without having to fear the repercussions from my government and local police. I can admit I'm unfamiliar with the ways of other countries and cultures, but I also read and research. Something more and more people don't do, both here in The United States and abroad.
And so, in protest of all the hate and bigotry, we have people like Nikolai Alekseev and his organization GayRussia fighting the fight. Nikolai and his fellow protesters are arrested often and fined every time. Yet when British actress Tilda Swinton holds a Rainbow Flag in front of The Kremlin in protest of the recent laws, she isn't arrested. I think she should have been, but then maybe Russia doesn't mind the hypocrisy. Or it does and thought better than to anger Great Britain. Who knows.
I urge everyone who can to send support via donations to GayRussia. However, per a post on Facebook from Nikolai, PayPal has yielded to the Russian Government:
READ AND REPUBLISH!!! This is the letter I just received from PayPal concerning the account of GAYRUSSIAFUND which you used to help us pay the fine imposed by homophobic Russian authorities. As we are non-registered organization (and we are not able to register it in Russia due to homophobia of Russian authorities) we can not use PayPal... How do you like it? What are we supposed to do now?

With all that, Nikolai is looking to set up a non-profit Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered human rights fund for Russia in Switzerland. If you're not friends or follow him on Facebook, I urge you to do so, so we can help in any way possible, even if it is spreading information to the world at large.
Обычно, я люблю Россию и русских. Удивительная страна, с богатой историей, культурой и удивительных людей. Я понимаю русских немного, не трудно, как только вы перестанете пытаться положить их в коробку все ваши ожидания. Я также хочу выучить русский язык, как я думаю, что это красивый язык. Но что бы, черт возьми, происходит в России в отношении России геев, лесбиянок и бисексуалов (не говоря уже о то, что не сказано о Транс населения), страшно и поражает мой ум. Я честно думал, лучше россиян, чем эта.
Должен ли я виноват Путин? Или это будущее после эффекта от падения Ленина-Сталина стиль коммунизм? Все это ненависть и законы прибывающий из России правительство пугаешь меня как человека, который любит Россию издалека. Я хочу, чтобы посетить там плохо, но сейчас очень не решаются даже думать об этом. Теперь вы можете быть арестованы только для держась за руки? Или имеющие патч Радуга на вашу куртку или сумку? И оштрафовать четверть миллиона рублей за две недели в тюрьме? Святой ад! Я не хочу идти в матушке-России с тем же желанием не желающих посетить Северную Корею или Джибути!
Давай Россия, ты лучше, чем это! По крайней мере, это мое скромное мнение, что вы. Но, возможно, что исходит от меня время родился и вырос в Соединенных Штатах и в состоянии быть, и гордый, не опасаясь возмездия со стороны моего правительства и местной полиции. Я могу признать, что я знаком с пути других стран и культур, но я также читал и исследований. Что-то все больше и больше людей не делают, как здесь, в Соединенных Штатах и за рубежом.
И так, в знак протеста против всех ненависть и фанатизм, у нас есть такие люди, как Николай Алексеев и его организации GayRussia борьбе с боем. Николай и его товарищи протестующих арестовали и оштрафовали часто каждый раз. Все же, когда британская актриса Тильда Суинтон имеет радужный флаг перед Кремлем в знак протеста против недавно принятых законов, она не арестовали. Я думаю, что она должна была быть, но то, возможно, Россия не возражает против лицемерия. Или она делает, и думал, лучше, чем на гнев Великобритании. Кто знает.
Я призываю всех, кто может послать поддержку через пожертвования GayRussia. Однако, согласно сообщению на Facebook от Николая, PayPal уступила Правительству России:
ПРОЧТИТЕ И REPUBLISH! Это письмо, которое я только что получил от PayPal о счете GAYRUSSIAFUND, использованный, чтобы помочь нам оплатить штраф, наложенный гомофобных властей России. Как мы незарегистрированной организации (и мы не в состоянии зарегистрировать его в Россию в связи с гомофобией властей России) мы не можем использовать PayPal ... Как вам это нравится? Что нам теперь делать?

Not going to St. Louis LGBT Pride 2013
St. Louis LGBT Pride Fest will be held in Downtown St. Louis next weekend, June 29th-30th. Normally, in any US city, this wouldn't cause people to bat an eye. However, the downtown area of St. Louis has historically been a "No Man's Land" outside of normal business hours or a sporting event. While the city government has worked to change that over the years, the night life of the are hasn't moved off of Washington Avenue.
I've expressed disapproval of Pride moving downtown, away from Tower Grove Park and the surrounding neighborhoods. Visibility to the "News Agencies" and being closer to City Hall have been cited as the reasons for this and giving Pride a chance to grow in a way that wasn't possible at Tower Grove. What Pride failed to mention was the lack of choice in restaurants and the like within close distance to the grounds where Pride will be. Union Station is a failure and mostly empty these days (another rant, I assure you). Washington is a few blocks off, but with construction and kids in tow, that can take a while. Add into the fact that the Festival will be in front of Soldiers Memorial, something that I don't think will go over well. Also, Tower Grove Park is a privately owned park open to public use. There was a sense of security that an open air LGBT event that I think will be lacking this year. Add into the fact that Pride is nothing more than a corporate leech to hawk items and services that truly do nothing or go towards Equality.
In The United States, LGBT Pride has become an excuse for buying *anything* rainbow themed, get your gutters cleaned or having a new bathroom installed. Very little to no booths seem dedicated to Equality measures (no, HRC does *NOT* count!) or promoting law changes. No classes offered on how to be a "proper" advocate, protester or activist. Just show up, party, dress skimpy and find a weekend Pride lover.
This is why, in theory, I support the local Tower Grove Pride being held June 29th. It is supported by local businesses on South Grand, the border between the Tower Grove Heights/Tower Grove South and Tower Grove East neighborhoods. I hope that it can grow into a local event, held and worked by locals to support local pride, inclusion and no corporate backing. The local coffeehouse is also hosting an anti-corporate dance party that night. This is my kind of Pride event!
We, as United States LGBT people, need these types of anti-Pride Pride events. No more Rainbow-bleaching from corporate interests who really don't care about us, just our money. One has to wonder how the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s would have fared if treated this way. We can still learn something from that movement. Change was made without corporate funding, as far as I'm aware. People have seem to forgotten the power they wield and that saddens me.
I'm not going to this Pride, I choose to sit back and watch how it's handled, both by The Pride Committee and The City of St. Louis. Not to mention the average citizen who'll be in the thick of this. I only hope for no attacks or bashings. However, I'm all for a Stonewall-like riot by local LGBT folk should anything unwarranted happen.

Father's Day
Truth be told, Father's Day here in The United States isn't something I tend to celebrate. Hell, I avoid it as much as possible. Frankly, I don't believe or feel I have reason to honor my father. He was a drug abusing alcoholic who was emotionally and psychologically abusive. There was a time I loved him, but I was so young then. The older I got, the more of the real him I saw and the more I grew disdainful of him. It eventually lead to us fighting and being, proverbially, at the others throats. Gods, we fought hard and often near The End.
Once, long ago, he was a good and decent man. But like I said, the alcohol and drugs twisted an already broken man. I know his life wasn't easy and he couldn't grow beyond that. Hell, I don't think he was ever offered the tools to do so or knew how to get beyond his trappings. He tried once to get clean and those where good times. I saw the man behind the turmoil. But his Demons where stronger. And when he fell, he fell hard and farther than he did before The Cleanup. So, when the final straw hit the back of the camel, all Hell broke loose. It was our first serious confrontation in October of 1993 that set the stage for us. I had had it and finally broke down and informed my Mom that I'd had a bag packed for over a year, ready to run off. Sure, fear kept me from doing it. But that was eroding more and more everyday. I just couldn't take the fights my parents had, I couldn't take the bullies at school and I couldn't take the isolation I felt in my own extended family. Well, Mom wanting to fix everything, told him and then it went all to shit after that. From that first fight in October to the tension filled days that followed, it all added up to the fight one night in February of 1994 when it all ended with me, Mom and my brother Kyle being kicked out/leaving if our own accord. I'm still a little confused about how that night ended, but it lead to The Dark Days of fights, therapy, moving around a couple times and finally The Divorce in June of 1994.
Then one last fight between him and me where he threatened to kill himself and I said "Do it. I don't care. Besides, I know you won't, you don't have the balls. And you've threatened this before, so go do it if you're gonna do it. I'm done with you." His body was found a week later in a corn field in Iowa that he drove to. He was found with his head blown off from a self inflicted gunshot through the mouth.
For a long time after that I was numb. I blamed myself. Then I got angry, an issue I still deal with. Anger is a lot like any other drug, you become addicted to it. Just like the depression I still deal with. You never truly get over an addiction, you just learn to mitigate it and control it. But it's always there. This is one way I've grown beyond him, gotten better than him. And after I got angry, I got determined to be better than him, more than he could ever be. I finished High School, got a degree and love. He was so full of hate, angry and betrayal. I vowed never to be that until I nearly did. In a strange irony, I had to nearly become my father to understand him and ultimately forgive him, which I finally did just a few years ago.
Even though I've forgiven him, I'm still not over him or beyond the fuck ups he filled me with. For a long time, I was convinced he wasn't dead and was just waiting to come back in my life only to fuck it all up. Something he would have done for the pure joy of it. However, as usual, Mom was right. He's have never stayed quiet this long. And for a time, men who looked like him would appear in my life and I would freeze with the fear the he was back. To this day, certain sounds and smells remind me of him. Once in a very great while, someone will cross my path who looks like him, but I don't freeze anymore. I just keep walking.
I wonder what he would think of me, the person I am now. As a gay man, a Pagan and a social liberal. But then I realize that I wouldn't give a damn. I have grown to be what he couldn't and that is enough for me to grow even further and move beyond his trappings and the trappings of his family.
Even with all my growth and wisdom I've gained from it, I still don't celebrate Father's Day. Once, for a short period of time, he was my Dad and I remember those few days fondly. But the dark clouds of the Hell he brought down and the turmoil and fights overshadow those days too much. Pain is easier to remember than happiness, unfortunately. To me, he's just my father, the guy who helped make me. It's harsh, I know, but it's my truth from the life I've lived.
In that truth and experience, my step-father got so much slag from me. Butting heads was common, still is to a point. I don't think he ever tried to understand the situation he came into, at the time. Now is different. Moving out helped us to at least have a truce and understanding of sorts. But I don't think I could ever see his place in my life as "Dad", I don't think I have the ability to give anyone that chance. My father distorted and destroyed that particular niche of my life. So, my step-father is only that, a step-father. Or just Tim, my Mom's husband. I do wish him a happy Father's Day out of respect, but even to me it feels hallow saying "Happy Father's Day" to him or anyone.
I hope my father has found peace in The Afterlife, I'm still looking for mine. But I've got enough for the moment to help me while I look. And yet I don't miss him, you'd figure I would at some point. It's strange that almost 20 years after his death, I still don't care. Not in a bad way anymore, but more neutral.
I wonder how long that will last...

Atheist Headache/नास्तिक सिरदर्द/Атеист Головная боль
I'm writing this one while listening to Jinx Titanic's "100% Pure Class: The Very Best of Jinx Titanic and Super 8 Cum Shot". Should be interesting to try and keep focus and write this under 45 minutes.
So I've gotten close to my limit of Atheist goovna. That means I'm sick of the most very vocal Atheists out there who give other, reasonable quiet Atheists a bad name. And yes, I view this special, loud, segment of Atheism as irrational and unreasonable. Those Atheists who are, frankly, as zealot and fanatical in their "I'm right, you're wrong" mentality as their Religious counterparts.
They know, without a "fairy tale doubt" that they are right and everyone else is delusional. It's the whole "I know I'm right and you're wrong" thing that irritates me with anyone. Add that to these goovnayuk mandavoshka way of telling you that you are delusional and actually try and convert you? It sets me off like nothing else.
And to complain that you're "being subjected" to some street corner preacher or someone on a bus or plane offering a blessing is full on bullshit to me. You make the choice to be subjected to that. You can ignore the street corner preachers, I do. And if someone gives you a "God Bless", then how is that being subjected to something harsh or "fairy tale delusion"? Why can't you just give thanks to that person? I'm a pagan and when I'm offered a "God Bless", I say "Thank You" and move on. Hell, I tell me bus drivers "Have a blessed day" because it seems a nice thing to say. I'm not blessing a Christian, Muslim or Hebrew as a Pagan, I am blessing them as one Human to another.
These outlandish Atheists scare me, as much as any fundamentalist, zealot religious fanatic. Logic, rationality and reason can be used to justify anything. That is their strength and weakness. Same as faith, blind or fevered.
Hell, 'South Park' called out Atheists in an episode where Cartman got sent to the future somehow and Atheism was the Religion of the day. But even then, the people of that time where fighting one another over something as petty as the names of their groups. And when you think about it, isn't that what the religions of the world are doing right now? Petty fighting over versions of a story and who has the right interpretation? Fighting over who's the most peaceful? Makes absolutely no sense to me. And if, when, Atheism organizes under a logical, rational and reasonable dogma? They'll do the same thing. I'll bet anyone on that.

Класс: The Very Best Джинкс из Титаника и Super 8 Cum Shot". Должно быть интересно, чтобы попытаться сохранить фокус и написать это до 45 минут.Так я получил близко к моему предел Атеист goovna. Это означает, что меня тошнит от самой очень вокальными атеистов, которые там дают другие, разумные тихой Атеисты дурную славу. И да, я рассматриваю это специальное, громкий, сегмент атеизм как нелогично и необоснованно. Те,
атеистов, которые, откровенно говоря, как фанатик и фанатичной в их "я
прав, ты не прав" менталитет, как их религиозных единомышленников.Они знают, без «сомнения сказки", что они правы, а все остальное бред. Это целый "Я знаю, что я прав, и вы ошибаетесь" вещь, которая раздражает меня ни с кем. Добавим, что на пути этих goovnayuk mandavoshka сказать вам, что вы и на самом деле бредовая пытаться обратить вас? Он устанавливает меня как ничто другое.И
жаловаться, что вы "подвергается" некоторым уличным проповедником углу
или кто-то на автобусе или самолете предлагают благословение на полную
фигню мне. Вы делаете выбор, чтобы быть подвергнуты этим. Вы можете игнорировать углу улицы проповедников, я делаю. И если кто-то дает вам "Боже, благослови", то как, что, подвергаясь что-то резкое или "сказка заблуждение"? Почему вы не можете просто дать благодаря тому, что человек? Я языческих и когда мне предлагают "Боже, благослови", я говорю "спасибо" и двигаться дальше. Черт, да я скажи мне, водители автобусов "Есть благословенный день", потому что кажется хорошая вещь сказать. Я не благословляю христианин, мусульманин или иврит как языческий, Я благословляю их, как одного человека к другому.Эти диковинные атеистов пугает меня, как и любое фундаменталистское, фанатик религиозный фанатик. Логика, рациональность и разум может быть использована, чтобы оправдать что угодно. Это их сила и слабость. То же, что вера, слепым или лихорадочный.Черт, 'South Park' крикнул Атеисты в эпизоде, где Картман послали в будущее как-то и атеизма была религия дня. Но даже тогда, люди того времени, где бороться друг с другом за то, как мелкие, как имена их групп. И когда вы думаете об этом, не то, что религии мира делают сейчас? Петти борьба по версии истории, и кто имеет право интерпретации? Борются за который самая мирная? не имеет абсолютно никакого смысла для меня. И если, когда, организует в рамках атеизма логическим, рациональным и разумным догма? Они будут делать то же самое. Бьюсь об заклад, что на любого.

दिन का धर्म था गया जहां एक प्रकरण में नास्तिक बाहर बुलाया. लेकिन फिर भी, उस समय के लोगों को जहां एक दूसरे को अपने समूह के नाम के रूप में छोटे रूप में पदभार कुछ लड़ रहे थे. और अगर आप इसके बारे में सोचते हैं, नहीं है दुनिया के धर्मों अभी क्या कर रहे हैं? एक कहानी है और जो के संस्करणों पर पैटी लड़ सही व्याख्या है? जो सबसे शांतिपूर्ण है पर लड़? बिल्कुल मेरे लिए कोई मतलब नहीं है. और नास्तिकता एक तार्किक, तर्कसंगत और उचित हठधर्मिता के तहत आयोजन करता है, जब, तो क्या होगा? वे एक ही बात कर लेंगे. मैं उस पर किसी को भी शर्त लगा सकता हूँ.
