I ' m cool with my taxes going to families in need , not single parents . The current tax structure has some perverse incentives whereby a single parent can accumulate children for additional tax benefits . This is not healthy for the child or society . <| sep |> Mike Pence is going to be the end of everything because he ' s Vice PresidentNo . The ~~ Republican Party ~~ Christian Taliban owning all three branches of the Federal Government will . <| sep |> If you want there is nothing stopping you from following his ideals . <| sep |> Yeah , we ' ve got a farright poised to win in Austria then Marine Le Pen gaining , causing a massive ripple effect . is that what you meant ? <| sep |> Edit I ' d previously written this for something else , but I think it ' s applicable to the question . I think there are two different types of romantic love falling in love , being in love . We fall in love so often throughout our lives it becomes a comforting experience . We have our first loves , summer loves , passing loves , and maybe some lasting loves . Falling in love is so intoxicating that some people fall in love with the feeling of falling . When you fall in love your world stands a little brighter , things seem a little better , and hope stretches a little further . But somewhere during the process of falling you begin to realize that you ' re doing just that , falling , and somewhere below where you ' re falling is the ground . As soon as you start to think about the cold hard reality of the ground , everything comes apart , and your world moves from bright and intoxicating to dark and terrifying , until you finally move on from that love . Your entire life may be a cycle of falling in love . Maybe you ' re lucky enough to fall in love continuously with the same person . That ' s an experience many would die for . But there ' s an entirely different experience one that makes no sense to an outsider , even when experienced it ' s hard to explain without sounding deranged , but it makes the act of falling in love seem so banal in comparison . For some fortunate few , love is not a thing you grow into . At some point these fortunate few meet someone with whom they find themselves already in love . The encounter of this person reveals something the lovers never realized about themselves , and it makes every other attempt at finding love absurd . Suddenly the lovers experience of the world is markedly different . Where falling in love makes the world brighter , better and more hopeful , for the fortunate few who find love as a fact of existence , the world becomes more real , detailed , and nuanced . But what is to me a more striking difference is that instead of the hopeful way the we see the world when falling in love , when you find that with already existent love , the world becomes less dangerous . Suddenly the defense mechanisms we build to keep ourselves safe are unnecessary , the fear of pain , loss , or hurt loses its grasp on our psyche . When you find the one you love , when you get to live your life with that person , you want to drop everything that distracts you from living every moment . Every single moment , no matter how short , tenuous or uncertain becomes an opportunity to experience the world as it is . There are of course other ways to experience the world on this level , meditation and mindfulness provide individuals that access , but there is something truly special about sharing that experience with another , and something once felt , you would not trade for the world .
