Enjoy! ^_^ https://arielche.net/noel2025

I lost a family member yesterday and I have not been well. This brought me out of the darkness for a spell. Thank you kind stranger. May your days be blessed

sorry to hear that, thanks for your blessing, may your days be blessed as well <3

As someone who is going through a dark, dark time right now: profusely thank you. This is exactly what I needed.

May all your days be joyful.

glad to hear my words helped, may all your days be joyful too <3 <3 <3

Merry Christmas! This is a beautiful message, thank you for posting it.

Warning, the following response is deeply cynical. I could just STFU, but that would be going along with the gooey intellectual dishonesty. Stop reading now if you'd rather have warmth.

Anyone else read this and feels the sincerity of an automated announcement at an airport/train station that claims "We apologize for the inconvenience."? Who's actually sorry/apologizing? Everyone working for the airport/railway? A text to speech system? Nothing?

"The universe profusely thanks you"... the universe is just atoms bouncing around, it's not doing shit.

"Your presence makes this univese immeasurably more joyful, more cheerful, more fun. The sound of your laughter shines like a ray of sunlight passing through a mountain meadow, enlightening all that it touches."

Ah, I can feel it too, as Netanyahu laughs while having some excellent dinner, after the great year he's had making the universe a more joyful place.

While that's all true.

It's still nice to be nice. :)

Humans will always be miserable and for the most part, we are just as miserable as we were few years or few decades ago, if not better off. We can(and frankly, should) enjoy nice things from time to time.

actually, I believe the universe is conscious.

but obviously, that's just like, my opinion man, and yeah, there's totally a lot of fucked up shit happening :)
