    Not sure what to title this post
    These sort of came to me this afternoon while I was working out a few questions related to authority and control of others. I'm sure there are various versions floating around somewhere, but this is the phrasing as it came up in my mind.

    Those who seek freedom will find it.
    Those who seek self-control will have it.
    Those who seek truth will know it.
    Those who share respect will be respected.

    Those who seek to remove freedoms imprison themselves.
    Those who seek control through others lose self-control.
    Those who seek to destroy truth soon live a lie.
    Those who share contempt become contemptible.

    Someday we'll find it
    So... @merlyn (Randal Schwartz, co-host of FLOSS Weekly) likes to do karaoke. And one of his favorites is a song I'd forgotten for many years, something gentle, meaningful. He even does it in the voice of the original singer. What is this song?

    Relief
    I have to believe something. But I don't have to believe everything.

    I believe in God. God Is. We are all under God, even the ones who believe themselves outside of His domain. This does not make me God. I believe in Jesus. This does not make me Jesus. I believe in the Holy Spirit. This does not mean that I am anointed in any way.

    I believe in science, the carefully researched and confirmed study of real, true, provable, repeatable facts which can be confirmed by other people in as many ways as possible. This does not make me the science, nor the goal of science.

    I believe in my family, the flesh and blood which share my genes. I also believe in my friends, the people with whom I share bonds of love and care, sharing for love and not just for themselves. This does not mean that I am my whole family, or anyone else in the world except me.

    I believe in myself. I am myself, and no-one else. I know that God calls me to something, but for now, all I feel called to is just being a man who is good enough. And until my head works properly, I intend to limit my posting and reading here. I'm definitely trimming my friends list, and I've made all but the last couple of posts private. While I might have something to share now and then, I really don't need to worry about metaphysics or spiritual matters any longer; I have had too much of that in my head already, and I need to let it all go and make room for something else.

    Goodnight, folks. Sleep well.
