Arguments, good ones

 “In disputes upon moral or scientific points, let your aim be to come at truth, not to conquer your opponent. So you never shall be at a loss in losing the argument, and gaining a new discovery.” - Arthur Martine

1. Listen and re-express what your target's points are, clearly

2. List points of agreement

3. Mentioned things you've learnt in the argument

4. Respectfully express your rebuttal or criticism

 

trading bot

Day 1.

Saw james post a few times about profits on FB wall. Decided to PM him about it.

We had a zoom call and he explained to me about the bot and day trading. A one hour session, bit i felt like it was too short. He had to go at 5pm and thats a good time to respect it.

Day 2.

Set up the binance acc and musk bot. Need to verify with ID and all. Bought some USDT with fiat jist for kicks.

Day 3.

James helped me to get the 1k USDT through P2P. In NZ everyone ask for pic of ID and a note. Its for the banks if they ask.

1770 NZD lets go. 

Did the APIs etc.

Day 1 of trading AVAX. Supposed to be a hot coin but didn't move that much. It covered until there was 400 bucks stuck in it.

I wasn't too patient and just wanted to release the capital so i could play with other coins.

Day 2. I jumped out of MANA and SAND just before they shot up (25th nov 2021). Super regret. I thought those coins were going to go stale.

Chit chatted with the community on whatsapp. They know how i feel becasue they've been there before.

I was so desperate to clear my operations to get a clean slate and start all over again. No patience. Everytime i see red i think this is not a good coin and i just want to get out.

Learnt some good tips from the more experienced guys. Just leave it. Dont touch. Be patient.

It'll come around. 

Night. I jumped in when was high. Was still earning a little here and there. But when i woke up things were in the reds with -10s and 12s... Sigh

Should have turned the CIS on. And changed from 15usdt to 12usdt for initial. 

And not cover 4 times. Cause the fourth one is about 400-500 bucks. 

And i dont have that much capital. I should only take up 2-3 coins. So greedy i took 4.

Why why.. So much to learn.

truth be relative to ones level of understanding

Haha happen in chemistry too. At individual year levels. Learning it in form 5 and going on to form 6 be like 'what i learnt was a lie!'... And then after that if we go further into uni also the same thing 'what we learnt before was a lie!' 

Well to be fair, many things we know as truth today will be outdated in the future and might not be 'false' just... shallower as we get to go deeper. 

Think of galileo telling the church the earth wasn't the center of the start system but the sun.

I'm not saying truth is relative. But the exposure to things that can be relevant to an individual at a certain time is. You wouldn't teach a baby economics before math. Uh.. Maybe not even math, just learning to read.

Your students might not understand this video even if they watched it. But to those that do, good for them. 

the root of strife

 every video online now can be scrutinized.

you never know if it was a candid shot taken without prior planning,

or if it was directed and all 'acted' out.

but whichever it is, the goal is to connect with the audience watching in someway,

whether it is mentally, logically or emotionally.

making a person think in their mind "wow this is so dumb",

or "gosh this is so natural, it gives me a sense of tranquility"

..

but when people find out that what they thought to be real is actually, well fake...

then they get so upset. why? because their trust was broken.

the video creator didn't specify that it was an undoctor film,

nor is there any need to disclaim that it was so, unless needed otherwise

why do people even get upset about things?

it's when another person's portrayed reality (in art/film/words/etc),

is in conflict/different from one's perceived version of reality.

not that we consciously want to be upset about it,

but it just happens subconsciously.

as if,... we almost had no control about it if we weren't aware what was the root cause of dissention.

difference.

of my reality and yours.

of my opinions and yours.

bible study John while reading the Immortality Key

 My Elim small group is doing a bible study on the book of John.
And I'm currently listening to The Immortality Key by Brian C. Muraresku.

Haha, seeing things I never thought of before,
due to the added historical context of the Greeks and Dionysus.

Well.... I still have no doubt that Jesus is the Son of God, for all the things that He has done.

I believe, Lord help my unbelieve

"If you die before you die, you won't die when you die."

Online Silent Retreat testimony

 "Silent retreats aren't easy to come by,

To take time and dwell in a secret place,

Life is full of hustle and bustle nowadays.

seeking God's face can't be done in haste.

Amidst the pandemic and border restrictions,

One would think he has ample amounts of time,

How far away from the truth that's the case,

Especially when I think life is all well and fine.

Despite the challenges we still did it online,

I'm glad Simon and Rinda made this happen,

They helped me to look deeper within life,

And made me realise things that were hidden.

Throughout the sessions and the guided silence,

There was rest, comfort and introspection,

It helped me to be calm and make some sense,

That I'm still under God's loving protection.

Life isn't easy, It's full of weary,

I'm reminded Jesus knows my worry,

So I'll continue to walk this journey,

Giving God the glory for this story."

me and my big stupid mouth

So we had to move house.

Because the landlord is moving back into this house and selling it off after 6 months. 

While we move into his other house, just 5 minutes away. 

Much bigger, all rooms with toilets. 

Went skating will Crystal, came back. Open my big stupid mouth and told Kinns that we are moving. 

If i didn't say anything she wouldn't have known, because she doesn't read the house group chat messages.

Its not likw i have anything against her. But Crystal does. And it frustrates her which frustrates me.

Sigh. Our one chance to be free, and i go screw it up. 

But she's alwags had something against someone in the house. There's always got ti be a scape goat.

Well small things that irritate constantly become sores. Festering sores. That just make life sour. 

Putting shoes on the top rack and moving other peopls stuff underneath. Rearranging stuff in the cabinates and placing things wherever she likes. Sitting on the couch and not making the cushions right after messing them up. Making a mess in the kitchen and not cleaning up. Noisy enough to be heard thorugh room walls. The list goes on.

Sigh... 

Me and my big stupid mouth thag can't shut up. 

I'd feel bad if i didn't tell her and she found out later that we went to view the house without her. She would be sad no? That she has no friends. I just want to be a friend to the friendless... But sometimes is hard to care for everyone's feelings.

Care for those that matter to you, 

Screw the rest.

Thats what relationship has thought me
