    I’m a recovering Catholic and apathetic atheist, classic Greens voter from a very conservative family. I’d like to know the answer so that we can all stop fighting.

    Are we doing so much damage to ourselves and others that a forced expiry date may be a good thing? Are we mature enough to put a doctored nuclear holocaust or global species-wide euthanasia to a vote, or simply discuss?

    If a person has no trust for themselves … is it possible that they can trust in others?
    2+

    If that person has no love for themselves … Is it possible that they can truly love another? If a person has no respect for themselves … Is it possible for them to respect others ? Would this then suggest that a person won’t be truly happy in any situation unless they have achieved that elusive frame of mind of loving, understanding and trusting in one’s own processes?  Wouldn’t it also suggest that we should view the state of our relationship with ourselves and others as being reflective of each other? And finally wouldn’t that then indicate that unless we can love ourselves we can’t love others? … So is it  important for a ‘happy life’ to love and appreciate yourself?

    Similar to avoiding the important by tackling the urgent. Both citizens and pollies do it, more than is good for us, don’t we?

    Why can’t we stay childlike for longer?

    I’ve found it hard to remember how to play after having my kids, and wonder why I ‘grew out’ of it. I’ve loved relearning it but it’s been hard. I think we’d probably be nicer to each other if we kept more of our sense of wonder and joy and curiosity.

    How do first generation Australians or recent migrants to Australia justify supporting highly restrictive migration policies?
    12+

    The sheer number of culturally diverse members of our community who show up to anti-Islam and anti-migration rallies flies in the face of the notion that such movements are only supported by those identifying as Anglo Australian.
