Both of these characters, Moses and Virgin Mary, are connected in their individual stories by a character named “god”. This hints at the possibility of a cinematic universe.

Maybe this is me just being tired, but I am frustrated. It seems like people just parrot out the first thing they hear and conforms to their world view. I’m probably guilty of this to though, which makes me even more frustrated because I am aware of it. My frustration might be more heightened to though because a lot of people share the same assumptions in their worldview, and I usually don’t share them and so I don’t make sense to people. I think this abortion thing is sort of making that very clear to me. None of the arguments are convincing to me and hold poor assumptions, but I haven’t thought through it or looked through any of my usual sources to come up with a stance and so the whole thing is personally frustrating. That probably sounds petty and shallow, but idgaf. You’d think I’d be used to it by now.

Maybe I just care too much about thinking the right things? Is that a bad thing? People get annoyed with it and it hasn’t always led to good things, but at the same time it has led to some of the best things. Perhaps I am just impatient. That may be more it than anything. I should be more patient with myself and others. The frustration probably comes from having to start with the basics every time I try to explain my point of view while most other viewpoints already operate off of shared assumptions.

Abortion is probably one of the more complicated issues that I know nothing about. At different times I have been staunchly pro-life and staunchly pro-choice. I am a dude so I am likely unqualified in many ways to say anything about the data and the like. Socially or communally, I think that what must be striven for is whatever is the fullest affirmation of life we can get. I think this at a minimum requires the ability to get an abortion for the sake of the mother’s health. I think it also requires some sort of move to make abortions unnecessary rather than unavailable. If people can’t financially afford a family, the problem doesn’t lie with them but with the society that makes it hard to raise children. We need to train ourselves to see others as part of a family I think, which means we need to take care of each other and help people live. Instead of condemning pregnancy maybe instead that is point when the work needs to be done. Getting pregnant shouldn’t ruin someone’s life, and I think that is why abortion needs to be available. If it is actually a bad thing, the proper response is to make it not ruin someone’s life as much as possible.

Not sure if I am making sense, like I said I don’t know just a whole lot about the topic but I think that is the direction I would go in if I was to think longer on this.
