I am very on topic,social relationships and automatically conduct oneself are determined by a lot of factors, now 40 years the consumption society was not so developed, so as to lead the attitudes absurd.

Here's one for you.

Your daughter in another state (mid 30s) gets pregnant by her boyfriend. The baby is born - the boyfriend dies.

Do you leave your spouse/marriage in another state and make the choice to help raise the child? Or do you put more importance on your spouse/marriage and let the daughter figure it out? The daughter can not leave her state.

What choice would you make?

Both the mother and the child just suffered a tremendous loss.

And now you want to take the child away from your grieving daughter and not let them bond?

When exactly have you decided this child becomes aware?

Oh - and you live in an adult complex - where you can't take the child.

I don't understand your point. What do you mean by temporal?

Anyway - - I am currently raising a 4 year old boy and an 11 year old girl - - in this world of today. Their mother has to work. There is no other income.

Cancer was definitely not the choice.

No worries.

I've just lived long enough and had enough experiences to know the difference between hypothetical and real life.

Keep questioning life.

I am asking my self many times what is good and what is right these days.But I find no answer.



Dear diamondsmith,

It is good and right to help others. It is good and right to care about others and to forgive others. The evils of this world are selfishness. If you do all things in love than you do well. Peace.

My dear Question, you are right but unfortunately there are too many people who hate the good and the beauty of others and those are the frustrated one,the blind in front of others suffering.

There are no longer social consequences for adultery for instance or for having children without being married. I stopped watching television when I could no longer find examples of healthy families or honorable fathers. Once we separated love from sex, both men and women reverted to doing what felt good rather than that which is right.


Whilst the main points I agree with, that family has been eroded but what you both (you and diamondsmith) have missed is the reason why this has come about.

40 years ago people had respect. Respect for parents, respect for teachers, respect for police, respect for women etc. although I have to say that 40 years ago this was changing slowly.

There are many reasons why this has gone now but I feel the main reason is because of interference by the State in the affairs of people. Unfortunately the PC crowd have gone too far and basically ruined the whole shebang. The police have lost it because they in their turn lost respect for people and it became, and is, them and us, and teachers lost it because the wrong sort of people ended up being teachers as it was seen as a cushy number.

BUT

for having children without being married


Whilst I agree that the social consequences have gone, they have also gone for the children thus born and that is right. It is no longer a 'social crime' to be adopted, and that is how it should be, but let me tell you this:

I was adopted. My mother was a trainee teacher and my father in the Army. It was literally just after the war. My father was what would have been called in those days a cad. My mother was in love with him and he said he would marry her - before I was conceived. He was not to be trusted.

To cut a long story short I found my mother about 6 years ago, and sadly she died this last Christmas Day at 9 am BUT I know that when I found her a very great weight was lifted from her that she had borne for over 50 years, and I am glad that she passed on to another life (?) with that burden lifted for the last few years.

People make mistakes. At least as far as that goes I believe things have improved for the better.
