Addie Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I've just spotted this which I found rather sweet, but maybe I'm alone in thinking that things like this could perhaps be true? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM2QcBhJaIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarne Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 If a stray cat came up to her, she'd be thinking the same thing "Oh it's the spirit of my dead boy" but it's not. If she chooses to believe it though, who am I to judge? (Though I do, I judge them with scorn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I find it rather distressing, tbh. Whatever she believes is irrelevant to everyone else but her, even the person who thought it would be a lovely clip to share on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hope that this is true is at the core of all the world's religions. Anyone who has lost anyone even remotely close to them yearns for it to be true. Sadly, yearning does not make truth.

ManxTaxPayer Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Sadly, yearning does not make truth. You don't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinahand Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yes I do. Yearning doesn't make truth, but yearned for things can be true. If you can't see the difference between the first and second part of the above sentence you have very severe problems with reading comprehension.

ManxTaxPayer Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 If we yearn for something enough we can make it true. If only to ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxTaxPayer Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Sadly, truth isn't a personal possession. No. True, you can't possess truth. It isn't tangible. You can only recognise it. In a personal way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lao Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I don't believe it to be true, but as long as no one is trying to make money off her, by claiming to be able to contact the spirit of her dead son, i wouldn't disabuse her of the notion that gives her some comfort.

Mr. Sausages Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 If we yearn for something enough we can make it true. If only to ourselves. Not just yearning. Stabbing strangers on the bus also makes it true. It makes anything you want come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sausages Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Then I need to yearn harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
