Matt discusses a question regarding life’s purpose

Does life have to have purpose? In researching patriarchy, I read somewhere that men don’t have to prove their worth by how hard they work. Merely existing on this planet is enough. I am contemplating this idea and I am not sure what my opinion is.

How patriarchal is the society we live in today? When it comes to gender roles, are we living in a drastically improved world in terms of equality? Do we fail to recognize where the patriarchy still exists in our lives? Matt and Chris attempt to answer these questions.

The end of the summer and back to school blues

“Every new chapter is an opportunity to turn the page and start a new story.”-Author Unknown
I believe now, as the summer is quickly coming to a close, it is important to take a moment to reflect on the fun moments we had and on the experiences that allowed us to grow. However, we all should have the courage to not get caught in the moments that didn’t go as we would have liked and accept that it is crucial for us to take the next step in our journey as fall and the last quarter of our calendar year approach.

Matt’s thoughts regarding Miles’ sermon

Young people today, by and large, do not get credit for the wisdom they have. I am more than pleased with how much I learned by knowing my son. This sermon provides the listener with a glimpse of how special he truly is. This is a quote from him that was included in the UU’s program from Sunday, August 13:” The UU church has been an important part of my life for about a year and a half. It has gotten me quietly through hard times and provided me with a spiritual community which was a void I did not know I needed filled. When Rev. Amy asked me if I would be interested in speaking at a church service all while I would be leaving very shortly after for a fall semester in college. I felt it best to express my feelings on change and permanence." ….Thank you for listening.

Love at first sight
Sunday Aug 06, 2023
Sunday Aug 06, 2023
There have been brief moments in my life where I remember feeling an instant connection with a person just by seeing them enter a room. In each instance, I could never explain it and on a couple of occasions deep feelings developed. For the most part, I would say this initial *spark* wasn't meant to be forever. I still find myself chasing these moments. However, as I get older, perhaps love isn't dependent on the unexplained magical infatuation at first appearance? How much credence do you give to "love at first sight"?

The concept of being a simp
Monday Jul 24, 2023
Monday Jul 24, 2023
The following was a rejected Reddit post of mine:
Dictionary.com defines Simp as a “slang insult for men who are seen as too attentive and submissive to women, especially out of a failed hope of winning some entitled sexual attention or activity from them.” I have also heard this term used in terms of men doing nice for women who really just are nice guys who would do anything for anyone. We can say we don’t care if we are judged, but reality can contradict this. Nobody wants the feeling of being taken advantage of. Also, it isn’t an attractive quality to be a “yes’ person to another’s regular demands. I wonder if this derogatory term prevents men from being chivalrous?
This episode is the beginning of my exploring the concept of patriarchy that is all around. Oftentimes, we don’t even realize it is there and have a difficult time admitting we are products of a societal system that isn’t healthy for any of us.

Matt discusses the courage of being positive

As I read many of your posts and comments, I admire how positive many of you are. Even if you are single and would like to be in a relationship, there seems to be this recognition of happiness truly coming from within. I believe it is too easy for us to give up on ourselves, be quick to judge others, and isolate ourselves from life’s adventures. I also believe it takes courage to recognize the beauty around us and to pause before we judge people/situations. Ultimately, if we choose to be positive we learn and become more fulfilled. What do you think? Does it take courage to be positive?
