So, I've been thinking a lot lately about a statement I heard a while back: We judge others based on their actions; we judge ourselves based on our intentions. What do you all think? Does this strike you as true? Do you think...

lifedoesntimitate This is interesting, but kinda bleak. I think people absolutely are capable of rising above silly things like prejudices and predispositions. We have to learn to judge, I think. Also, speaking as a husband, I guarantee that you can believe him whenever he...

lifedoesntimitate I think it's really good to acknowledge your faults and shortcomings and, hopefully, over time, learn from them. What would you say is the difference between what a person is and who a person is? That was really interesting wording to me.

lifedoesntimitate But how do you not? I mean, you can certainly choose not to act on those presuppositions, but how to you prevent yourself from feeling them?

lifedoesntimitate That's actually a really good point. Yes. When we find ourselves about to judge others, I think we should think about the fact that others are probably judging us. How does that make us feel? Probably not great. Given that, we probably shouldn't put that on...

lifedoesntimitate Hmmm... I agree that it's certainly more of our natural inclination to do things this way, but I don't know that I'd agree that we can't help it. I think that if we make a choice that it's not a great thing to operate this way, we can absolutely make a...

lifedoesntimitate Fantastic! I'm glad this post was able to present you with a different -- and more positive -- way of looking at things. Your post brightened my day, sir. Thank you. Yeah, I think if we all just took a step back and thought about why we're angry or upset,...

lifedoesntimitate You did sort of get to a rambly place, but you made some valid points along the way. :) Hmmm... Well, I certainly never meant to imply that I don't judge. I agree with you that we all judge, and without doing so, we would either have to trust or not trust...

lifedoesntimitate Where do you live? If you live in California, there's a place called Central Casting which, if you sign up with them, will book you for extra work. Even if you're not in California, there's probably a way for you to get into background work. You just have to...

Okay, for movies, I guess most of us will just stay put throughout the whole movie. But recent years, there are a number of films that are more than 1 part. For example, the famous Lord of the Ring, Harry Potter etc. And...

lifedoesntimitate That would be neat. One day, you could just have a series finale night. Just watch, like, five series finales back to back. :) The one thing I'd mention is that sometimes a finale doesn't actually give a happy ending. In the case of "Angel," for instance,...

Okay, so in the spirit of full disclosure, let me say that I don't have children of my own at present. However, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Basically, why do you think it is that we tend to teach our children rules...

lifedoesntimitate Wow. That was one of the saddest, most honest description of parenthood I think I've ever read. Thank you for that. For what it's worth, I'd say the bedtime thing is a little bit different, but that may just have been the way it was in my home growing up....

Okay, so last night a short film that I did was featured in a showcase. I'm a very introverted person until I get to know people, but I decided to go to this event anyway, knowing that the first two hours would be all about...

lifedoesntimitate Oh, that's really sweet. My wife's brother is in law school right now, so I have some understanding of how tough and time consuming that is. Congratulations on passing! That's a wonderful accomplishment! So, do you currently practice law? If so, where? Is it...

Watermelons! Most notable summer time snack. Is it a fruit or a vegetable? Most sources classify it as a fruit because it bears seeds. However, Oklahoma considers the watermelon as their state VEGETABLE.. So cast...

lifedoesntimitate Huh. Never mind. I take that back. I just looked it up, and it is, indeed, a vegetable. The thing I read claims that it's related to the cucumber, squash and pumpkin plants, and is most definitely a vegetable. Interesting.

lifedoesntimitate Interesting. I never really considered that it might have actually been a conscious choice, like you suggest here. I guess, if you're right, it just feels so hollow and empty to teach our kids these things. I mean, the idea is to keep them safe and make the...
