Search Results: let's stay

To me, the idea of eating with others is far more foreign than eating alone could ever be to most people, or at least that's the vibe I'm getting.

As a kid, my father got home 2-3 hours before my mother did, leaving my brother and I to eat with my dad. My father provided for me, but that's all he did, he never helped raise me, teach me, all he did was insult, threaten and scold me and my mother at every opportunity.

My brother was the son he wanted and I'm the one he wishes he didn't have, that's how he's made me feel every day since I was born.

For this reason, I started taking food to my room to stay away from him. In school, the noise and frequent rejection from others pushed me to find a teacher willing to let me and a few others eat in a room away from the cafeteria. Even then, I never went to talk, I went because I didn't like my classmates and didn't like being around them.

I never felt welcome or belonging, only 2 people ever made me feel anything but unwanted. For all these reasons, eating alone was pretty much the only way to eat.

It has been 16 years since I sat at a table with just my parents and brother, and I will never eat with my father alone, and I'm sorry to say that I really do mean that.

In high school, I ate at the table closest to the door, I ate fast, usually just a couple minutes. I didn't talk to anyone, I just ate, took my enzymes and went to the courtyard to throw the football. I'd accepted that aside from throwing a football outside, me and others just weren't ever going to have any kind of relationship, discussion, we were never going to spend time together, so I kept to myself, and frankly, I was as annoyed with their presence as they were with mine. So the hatred was very mutual

As you've noticed, I've been more open but still, I have no shortage of hesitation to change eating from a necessary refueling of the body to a social environment.

But I'll get there. Is eating a social event for you?

Yep US and Israel attacked Iran for no reason other than killing Muslims and allowing Israel to take over Middle East. Iran attacked no other country. They didn't have Nuclear weapons, Iran agreed to more restrictions on nuclear energy than Obama deal. Iran even turned down Nuclear Missiles offers from other countries.

Now with a new leader , Iran will develop Nuclear weapons or buy Nuclear weapons. The Supreme Leader believed owning Nukes would cause countries to attack Iran. He avoided war with this policy for 47 years until Trump got power. Trump looked for war instead of trying to avoid it. Lets face it the US asked for it.

Now that Iran will have Nuclear Weapons to prevent being attack again. Should they lauch one against US and or Israel for them attacking them?

By the way our founding fathers said the US should stay out of foreign wars. If they could come back to life , they would vote for impeaching Trump. America should have no say on what any other country does or doesn't do. That means wars, trade, or how they treat people. I agree with the founding fathers.
