"Sometimes we put up walls, not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to knock them down"

i like that one too - also rings close to home.
Even though theres not a lot who care enough or have had the patience to knock them down, the ones who do mean everything to me & always will

/\ If everyone did that at the same time, no one would ever open up to anyone else and we'd all be lonely all the time - I'm glad that people seem to take turns ;)

mostly yes:)
in my experience tho i dont have very big walls, i just find most people i encounter mostly see me for what they can get out of me, not who i really am. So i dont show them untill i know i can trust them.

Cos im silly i let them tho, i give them all the support they need, everything but its mostly one sided & then i think okay il let down a wall then thats where i get burned.

I have 4 very close friends + my family who know me inside & out, who got through my walls cos they really cared & werent just pretending.

Ive been burnt that many times thats why this quote rings true to me.

If that makes sense - sorry! im rambling off topic

s God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?" - Epicurus

Ah the answer you would get to that from a religious & maybe humanist perspective is freedom to choose !
 
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?" - Epicurus

Great quote!

Many Believers have told me that "free will" explains it--but that answer is un-related to the question: "Why does god--who Claims to be "the good shepherd", our "father"--not protect us?" If a father new that one of his kids was going to severely harm another one of his kids, surely he would prevent it if he were omnipotent/omniscient. He would at least cure any injuries from a severe attack that he failed to prevent. God, however, exists only in the imagination--which is the key reason that "he" never protects his kids...

The charge against "god" that he chronically fails to protect us suggests a fatal flaw in the god story--a god who can't/won't bring himself to prevent a vicious assault is, indeed, either impotent or malevolent. Moreover: if god can't bring himself to impede the "free will" of a rapist--then, why are Christians arrogantly involved in crime prevention ("free will prevention")???...

"Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the (Father's) kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the (Father's) kingdom is within you and it is outside you."
