I no longer pray for myself.

Why the change?
magicmishap: (Stalwart)

[personal profile] magicmishap 2017-09-22 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry that this is so.

We all deserve good to come of all our efforts.
magicmishap: (Converse)

[personal profile] magicmishap 2017-09-22 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
True.

Life is sometimes very complex, milady.

If I might say this, though, I still think you deserve good things.
magicmishap: (Smile 1)

[personal profile] magicmishap 2017-09-22 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
My thanks.

I, at least, will keep you in my prayers.
magicmishap: (Smile 1)

[personal profile] magicmishap 2017-09-22 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Eh. I just happen to think you are nice.
magicmishap: (Smile 1)

[personal profile] magicmishap 2017-09-22 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe not. But I'll stick with my opinion, anyway.

Only when asked politely.

[ He might be joking. ]

You're better off. Less disappointment that way.

[personal profile] reformedbuddhist 2017-09-22 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
There you go. Relying on anyone or anything is a sucker bet. You'll lose every time. Rely on yourself and the job gets done.

I'm pretty sure Buddha said that...
reformedbuddhist: (Default)

[personal profile] reformedbuddhist 2017-09-22 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, I mean... it's so obvious. Why write it down?
reformedbuddhist: (Default)

[personal profile] reformedbuddhist 2017-09-22 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
This is true. Of course, those people tend to weed themselves out.

[Not entirely true, given the sheer number of fools he's forced to interact with on a daily basis, but he likes to think so.]

That's where being a selfish ass who only cares about himself comes in handy! Living obligation free is the only way to live.

Humble is for people who aren't gorgeous so you might as well not bother. They never appreciate the help anyway.
reformedbuddhist: (drinking)

[personal profile] reformedbuddhist 2017-09-22 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you just know better people than I do? Or, maybe I should say, more forgiving? [shrugs]

You find you get a lot out of helping people?
reformedbuddhist: (drinking)

[personal profile] reformedbuddhist 2017-09-22 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I salute you. [does so] You almost make me want to go be a better person. Except everyone I know is counting the days until I'm behind bars or pushing up daisies and I'd hate to disappoint them now.

[he grins] That's my good deed for them, y'see?
reformedbuddhist: (smiling: laughing)

[personal profile] reformedbuddhist 2017-09-22 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, now, that hurts! Just because I may be checking out soon doesn't mean I'll be boring doing it. I do everything with style.
reformedbuddhist: (smiling: laughing)

[personal profile] reformedbuddhist 2017-09-23 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, ma'am. Everything. [His grin is wide and suggestive. He can't help it!]
grace_optional: (Elegant)

[personal profile] grace_optional 2017-09-22 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Who do you pray for, then?
grace_optional: (SlightSmile)

[personal profile] grace_optional 2017-09-22 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure it matters whether anyone's listening. Maybe just putting something positive out there in the mix is worth something.
thoushaltnotkill: (Default)

[personal profile] thoushaltnotkill 2017-09-22 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
And who is it you pray for?
thoushaltnotkill: (Default)

[personal profile] thoushaltnotkill 2017-09-22 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
This is probably a bit personal. [It's a discussion about faith and prayer, Matt. Of course it's going to get personal.] Is it a matter of faith, or the lack of visible evidence that prayer works?
thoushaltnotkill: (bright)

[personal profile] thoushaltnotkill 2017-09-22 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Faith is a tricky subject primarily because it isn't something that can be quantified or measured in material terms.
thoushaltnotkill: (Default)

[personal profile] thoushaltnotkill 2017-09-25 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
We all have our reasons. [Don't be. He doesn't take offense and a good discussion is always welcome in his books.] Some people choose to put their faith in other things, in their friends or the people around them, or in their actions every day. And some of us choose to see that as a manifestation of being a part of something bigger. Something better.

[Out in public, Kurt is using his holographic disguise to look more human and less, well, blue]

Even if you cannot see the signs, He is still listening. The fact that you pray for others over yourself means more then you may realize.

It does make for more time on Sunday mornings. I like to fill it with mimosas myself. With you, preferably.

[He's just saying. Could be a wild morning, if the quirk of his brow says anything. Why start out slow when going from 0 to 100 is, oh, infinite times more fun?]

That's dating. Don't date me. I'm not...more than a tiny bit that old. [Awkward admittance right here, moving on—] No, but you are right. Of course if I did everything I could handle I wouldn't be the fascinating and accomplished individual I am. Have I mentioned I have a medal.

[The smoothest man on the planet. Or maybe just messing around a bit, but in the interest of not being completely a jerk:]

Or we can talk about church. I haven't been in...ever. But they look nice. Churches.
