    Sunak wants national service!

    Unfortunately, whoever wins the election shall have to implement something like this, not due to ideology but due to our current unstable circumstances. These are lamentably not times of peace. Humbly, Hermit

    The righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.

    I agree with that but I still fail to understand how this leads you to think that those who choose to focus on its “beauty” don’t know that’s what they’re doing. That’s not clear to me. Another aspect that you do not appear to at all take into account there, is the very real, tangible power of...

    The righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.

    What sort of “fundamental rules” do you believe me to have been implying through a different term? I genuinely believe you have misunderstood what I was saying. Humbly, Hermit

    The righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.

    @9-10ths_Penguin, It was not ”karma” I was speaking of. I’ll try to give you a shortish, mundane example instead: Our motor cars. We drive them everywhere. We want to drive them. We want to drive them cheaply. They’ve been around for some time and there are places in the world where not driving...

    The righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.

    You have misread me @9-10ths_Penguin. When I get a moment, I’ll try to explain what I meant in different words. Humbly, Hermit

    The righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.

    I don’t believe I said anything about “fundamental rules”, did I? I also did not mention “karma” (I would not say that my niece’s condition, for instance, had to do with “karma”). Did you mean to reply to someone else? Humbly, Hermit

    The righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.

    I’m curious as to what it is that makes you say that they don’t realise the dark underlay by which beauty comes about? Humbly, Hermit

    The righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.

    I’d not say that your attitude is great, no, but it is unquestionably your choice and your right to keep it. I’m gladden to hear that your life is good. Humbly, Hermit

    The righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.

    Some consequences are so distant from their cause that they appear to be coincidental. Yet, they are not. No suffering occurs in a vacuum. Everything -both good and dreadful- has a context and in the contexts of life, we all together, partake. It is of course true that my niece (now adult)...

    The righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.

    Scripture tells much of Man’s struggles and times of religious doubt and shows that it is not so that those of devout faith do not have these, but rather that life frequently tries their faith and trust [in God]. Christian scripture sees our world as ruined by [original] sin - Man was cast out...

    Is multiculturalism a good or a bad thing ?

    Thank you for rereading and addressing my questions correctly @Twilight Hue. Though I agree in the value of keeping good record of cultures that have disappeared and of those that are on their way out for the purpose of study, etc., I very much disagree with attempting to isolate them and...

    Is multiculturalism a good or a bad thing ?

    Could you have misread my questions, because your reply addresses non of them. I’ll break them down: a) Have you an example of a “non-multi” culture? b) Have you an example of a “non-multi” culture that has been “preserved”? c) If so, how was that culture successfully “preserved” as...

    Is multiculturalism a good or a bad thing ?

    Have you an example of when that’s been achieved @Twilight Hue? Also; how was the example you give achieved? And; what about its achievement would you say is the bit of “importance”? Anything in particular? Humbly, Hermit
