I like the definition of intuition. It goes like this: the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning. I especially appreciate the part that says, “without the need for conscious reasoning.” It is being convinced about a thing without knowing or understanding why you feel that way. Or is it why you know that way is the right way for you?

Some of us are so busy fighting life and the hopelessness that plagues our world, that we unconsciously deny FEAR space in our lives. Thank you Rui Alves for this prompt. Google says: “an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm.”

Life is a journey filled with unexpected twists, challenges, and moments of turmoil. In these times of trouble, we have the opportunity to embody the qualities of a peaceful warrior.

Let's start with the bit that will get skipped or ignored but has to be said regardless, I'm obviously NOT talking about all straight men. Got that?.

A lot of interesting things about this fear theory. The first thing is that this wasn’t a thing until the proud boys, emphasis on boys, marched and rioted because they were afraid of being replaced. That’s what they claimed anyway. Trad wives don’t march but they too are afraid of being replaced. They said so in a recent article.

It feels like there is a way to know the future. At least not with any detail. We know we will pass, and perhaps one has been given news that it is coming sooner than later. But even that is a guess in terms of specifics.
