No such thing as true damnation - LJ Idol Season 6, Topic 8
Reprobate. It's one of those words that I have a vague idea of it's meaning but wanted to be certain that I was thinking of the right thing. So I toddled over to Miriam-Webster and this is what I found: Main Entry: 1rep·ro·bate Pronunciation: \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ Function: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): rep·ro·bat·ed; rep·ro·bat·ing Etymology: Middle English, from Late Latin reprobatus, past participle of reprobare — more at reprove Date: 15th century 1 : to condemn strongly as unworthy, unacceptable, or evil 2 : to foreordain to damnation 3 : to refuse to accept : reject synonyms see criticize — rep·ro·ba·tive \ˈre-prə-ˌbā-tiv\ adjective — rep·ro·ba·to·ry \-bə-ˌtȯr-ē\ adjectiveAnd as I read the second definition, my thoughts drifted back once more to lessons I learned on Thursday afternoons at Religious Release. I was taught that there were only two unforgivable sins - the sin of not asking forgiveness and the sin of suicide (because when you take your own life, you don't have the opportunity to ask forgiveness for this greatest sin). It makes me wonder, can anyone truly be a reprobate? If you take the Catholic view, you have until your dying breath to make amends for anything that you do, to ask for forgiveness for your wrongs. So how can damnation be foreordained if you always have the opportunity of forgiveness? I don't follow the Catholic faith any longer. I don't quite know what I follow. Agnostic would be bes, I suppose. But there are still things from my days as a Christian that I like to believe. And one of the strongest is to never give up hope. Yes, there may be people out there who do evil things, who enjoy things that hurt others. But even they are not lost. They have a chance to change, a chance to ask forgiveness... whether it be of their god(s)/higher power/universe or it be of their victims. The human element may not forgive - and forgiveness is not always easy to give. But damnation can never be foreordained if a breath is left in the body and a hope is left for change.

moustache day http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/09/12/16/ 
Laurence on the day when pretty much all guys were required to show up with a moustache at work. Spending too many hours at work has consequences, like beards and moustaches showing up around the office, so Laurence came up with the idea. I had to get rid of mine mid-day since clients couldn't stop laughing. |

So that was a piece of shit
The house we looked at today, I mean. Granted, the price was low so I wasn't expecting the world. But I'll put it this way: the current tenants met us at the door before the landlord arrived and said that they wouldn't have moved in at all had they known all the problems. A short list: - no heat in two bedrooms - various electrical sockets either have no power or are so loose that plugs fall out of them - no plug at all (no CFI) in the bathroom - the backyard fence fell down and apparently was repaired by the tenant's cousin - the laminate floors were done so badly that the slats were crooked with huge gaps between them - the back deck stairs were of varying depths so they tended to induce a nasty trip halfway up - the back yard was lower than the neighbours' so it flooded 6-8"deep in bad weather Above all else, they said the land lord was difficult to deal with. That sealed the deal for us. If we're going to live somewhere, we need to be able to get along with the people around us. So the search continues. We're not in a big rush and we're very picky, so this could take a while. Bring on the egg nog! |
