I grew up steeped in the "I would die for my country" or "I would die for my children" or "He died for our sins" where death was the ultimate showing of love...

...I have to sit with that.

But what I want to know is... Would you live for your country? Would you build for your children (and their children)? Would you help out your neighbor even if they don't follow your god?

Would you fix. Would you love. Would you grow, heal, and cherish for those around you?

Death is easy. Life is hard.

The greatest showing of love is to live and to help others live and to increase that quality of life.

@tinker@infosec.exchange Would I live for my world and my children? Absolutely. I love my children unconditionally and I wish we had left them a better world than we have. I would do anything I could to make it a better world for them.

Would I live for my country? Fuck no. It has proven itself unworthy of my conviction. If I could continue my efforts at saving the world in a different country, I would in a moment. This country is too far down the pipe to make a difference at this point, and frankly, I am done with it.

Unfortunately, living for the world and your children but not your country isn't conducive to reality in this day and age.

@derek@www.glidden.life - Completely feel this. I've taken to "living for my neighborhood" as its what I can work directly on.
