Brain farts, a thread

did something self destructive? caused harm to yourself or others? put yourself in a bad situation?

that doesn't mean you deserve to suffer.

yes, even if you harmed other people. i don't believe that suffering is redemptive. by which i mean, i don't think anyone, including the person you have harmed, benefits from you suffering in return.

this is different from facing consequences for your actions. i believe that if someone harms another person, they should seek to rectify the situation if possible and make amends if not. what form that takes varies depending on the situation, but i don't think punishment helps anyone.

we know, for example, that prison, in addition to being inhumane, neither deters people from harming others in the first place (if they even did harm anyone, which does not apply to everyone in prison by any means), nor prevents them from doing it again.

Congratulations on the 25th anniversary of FF7.

More than 11,000 years ago, young children trekking with their families through what is now White Sands National Park in New Mexico discovered the stuff of childhood dreams: muddy puddles made from the footprints of a giant ground sloth.

Few things are more enticing to a youngster than a muddy puddle. The children — likely four in all — raced and splashed through the soppy sloth trackway, leaving their own footprints stamped in the playa — a dried up lake bed. Those footprints were preserved over millennia, leaving evidence of this prehistoric caper, new research finds.
