I know you are thinking there is nothing weird about empathy and you are right, we all know the word and understands its meaning. But it is a word and action that is now being criticized and used as if it were evil. When I hear Christians say that to empathize is unchristian I don‘t even have the words to address how far away from Christianity you are that you believe that.

Prairiegirl_reading This is an honest question, what do they think IS Christian??? 1d

dabbe Definition of “Christian“ from Merriam-Webster: “one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ.“

Isn't Jesus the one who taught so-called “Christ“ians to turn the other cheek and to love one another?

CBee Jesus was the ultimate empath. So many “Christians” today don‘t even know what it even means. Thanks for sharing ♥️ 1d
ImperfectCJ It's ridiculous for sure, but I remind myself that according to polls, this kind of view is not shared by a majority of Christians in the US. Faith is being used by a minority to further a political agenda. https://www.christiansagainstchristiannationalism.org/homepage 1d

TheBookHippie I posted a quote and explanation a bit back sympathy is feeling bad. Empathy is knowing it could be you. (edited) 1d
TheBookHippie In my life I‘ve never in person met an empathetic Christian. I however have been told by many of them we just don‘t get you - you love everyone so well even us, but I don‘t think you like us. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1d

Karisa 💯% agree! Where‘s the followers of the golden rule to be found anymore? I reported Jesus‘ Good Samaritan story on the enddei website. Way too accepting by the current right‘s standards 🙄 #wwjd 1d
ImperfectCJ @TheBookHippie They tend to be less loud than those without empathy, I find, which makes them more challenging to find. 1d

Colored Television was good on audio. I said “Oh, Jane!” numerous times. I‘m glad I stuck it out.

The Lost Passenger was enjoyable. Ultimately an immigrant story set in NYC. It has a lighter tone than most I‘ve read with this time and setting.

The Bell Jar was hard. After sitting on my shelf for years, I‘m grateful to finally have read it. #HashtagBrigade

Deblovestoread @BarbaraBB FYI while it was my most enjoyable book of the week it is a pretty vanilla read. Not as gritty as other NYC immigrant stories. With the current political chaos I‘m leaning into books that are lighter in tone. I doubt I will remember much about it in the long term. My other book was The Bell Jar. It will stay with me longer but hard to say I enjoyed it. 💔 2w

This is one of our two cats, Dahlia. She has not been a happy camper since we added Pippin (our 9 month old black pug)to the family. After a vet visit and some good drugs she is back to being her normal amount of neurotic. Here she is after Pippin has gone to bed cuddling up to his favorite toy.

Hope you had a wonderful day 💚

1) My little patch of crocuses alert me to Spring on its way. And warm enough to have the windows open yesterday.
2) watching the neighbor cat perform his high wire act
3) Pippin did great at daycare. This is his mom I don‘t want to go out pose. He‘s dead weight til he gets his belly rub.
4) Wise words in the chaos
5) Finding a laugh amongst the absurdity of it all.

Finding joy is resistance! They want you to feel powerless, don‘t let them! 🩷

Today‘s section in our #TreeADay reading. My question to you is if you have read the tagged book, any factual history or historical fiction set during WWII how you cannot see the parallels from that time to this? What is keeping you from recognizing how our freedoms are being taken away piece by piece? It is happening again and you are not only cheering for it you are praising God for it. God help us all.

Ruthiella I‘m currently reading Maus by Art Spiegelman and also see the pattern. Particularly in the swiftness. Laws and institutions will only hold up if we collectively support them. 3w
Jess861 The Dutch Orphan was a very interesting book to read at this time. Some spoke up, others didn't as freedoms were slowly taken away. The parallels are scary. 3w

dabbe To add to your thoughts, you made me think of this allusion from my Book of Allusions:
•Bread and Circuses: This phrase was used by a writer during the time of the Roman Empire. He deplored the fact that the Imperial government was able to keep the populace content merely by distributing free food and providing entertainment spectacles, such as the fights in the Coliseum between people or between people and animals. ⬇️
3w
dabbe The writer declared that it was shameful that people could be so easily kept in line simply by receiving “bread and circuses“ from the government.

The term today refers to policies designed to PREVENT UNREST BY KEEPING PEOPLE HAPPY and thus DEFLECTING CONCERN about troubling issues.

How many dystopian novels show us that if you keep people quiet and happy (plugged in like F451), most will do NOTHING to save us all. #ranttime

Greta & Valdin: A Novel | Rebecca K Reilly

Pickpick

Audio books that aren‘t too heavy with characters that I love and root for seem to be what my brain and heart want. That and any excuse to organize something. I bought new hangers after a friend told me about the slimmer velvet cover ones. Spent some time today switching them in with the old plastic ones out.

Loved this one. When Greta tells about Val listening to I‘m Not in Love after getting his heart broken I‘m thinking been there, done that.

Lesliereadsalot Give me a book with interesting characters like these any day! 1mo
