As usual, Mccoy, I think that your view is quite impartial- In it’s perspective as it has seemed to pretty much closed off the conversation, especially since our friend the scrutinizer here came and visited us for this one laugh out 😂 loud. But in all seriousness I believe that ‘enough is enough’ is a cop out when it comes to just letting someone else determine our life choices. Although that is also a right of someone to express that view as well. Some people take a concern for themselves and the choices that are made for them and others don’t.

I have a detail to include here though. That is the factor of personal experience. Doesn’t one have ask oneself….why they are more of a personal witness to such things? As for instance, I have been a witness to a lot of unusual things in my life and it may have affected me in a way that might be quite different than other people and their resulting views. Having witnessed or experienced such unusual circumstances may affect someone quite differently then someone who has not. I think people should take that into account before attempting to ‘judge’ for others how they should run someone else’s life. It is a peculiar phenomenon I have seen that people who for instance think we should’ve had the freedom to have or have not vaccinations but feel think they have the right to determine the morality of a given situation on another matter such as transgender.

To give a really good example, I think would be the story of brother Turiyananda and how he experienced a miracle in the Swiss Alps when he lost his way one day and couldn’t get out of the forest and  find his way out. He explained if you know anything about the Swiss Alps if you’re caught up there at night, you’re gonna freeze to death unless you find a way out. He prayed and told God “you’re gonna have to help me if there’s anything else you want me to do in this life.  And he felt God’s hands push him in the back in towards a certain direction and he found that direction got him out of the Alps. Otherwise he would’ve frozen there. Now that kind of experience would affect somebody quite differently than another person that might’ve had somebody pass by you, and tell you that you have to go this way to get out.
