QUESTIONS
What mythical creature would improve the world most if it existed? (If you don’t know, just choose something that you think would improve things ) A giant flying praying mantis type thing that would eat all the bad bugs and help clean the world.
Should the death penalty be re-instated? Why or why not? I think there are cases that it should. It costs tax payers so much money to provide for those inmates and if they are truly guilty then why should we have to pay to support them. My brother was in a high security prison years ago for armed robbery. He lived like a king…well one behind bars. He used to say that it wasn’t that bad. I know that is not the case everywhere and for everyone but think about it; three meals a day, a bed, heat, water….better than some people’s living situations. The problem is that there are those inmates that have been wrongly convicted. But there are some individuals like school shooters and those that are blatantly guilty.
Spontaneity Or Stability? Stability.
Can a dog/cat suffer? What about an ant? What about a plant? What about a bacteria cell? Why do some humans think we’re the only species that does suffer? Your thoughts? I think that everything can suffer but it depends on the capacity of its brain. You can see a dog and cat in pain. If an ant is in pain it doesn’t last long enough to show. Plants don’t have a brain like we do. I think anything that lives long enough to feel the pain, suffers.
GRATITUDE SECTION
What are two things that have brightened your day today? 1. Waking up knowing my daughter is in a loving, safe environment for the first time in two years. 2. Seeing my dog look up at me with so much love.

I agree about the jail, my son’s facing charges at the moment, he reckons if he’s found guilty he’ll get 40 years. I told him he’ll get 6 months and an ankle bracelet. They can’t afford to keep people on minor stuff locked up

That is another thing that kills me. People who don’t commit violent crimes get all this time and don’t get out but then rapists and murderers are let out on good behavior. My brother was a whack job, he was doing heroin. When he got out of jail 8 years later he started again. I know he was doing drugs the whole time he was in there. He gave my father a literal nervous breakdown. I don’t have any contact with him. He had gotten out and never contacted me but “friended” my daughter on facebook. When my husband died I dreaded the thought of him showing up at the wake but when he didn’t I cut him off, thinking that was just so unkind. I never heard from him then, nor when my son passed away. I have pretty much written off all my siblings. They are all cruel and selfish.

Unfortunately I think sometimes you just have to do what is right for you regardless of blood ties or not.
