The joy of Christmas not so joyful for people in war zones and their family in Australia.
I didnt say that.
You can still hold those suffering in your heart at Christmas time while still sharing joy and love with your own family.
It shouldnât be an absolute.

Maybe, but I would not want to find out.
This absolute thinking is a real problem. On both sides of the political spectrum.
If I take my neice to see Mufusa as a christmas gift am I an awful person for doing that when there is suffering in the world?

Rest securely in the knowledge that protestors are far more likely to end up on charges in Australia than white collar criminals and large scale environmental vandals. I guess these people couldâve been a little less disruptive to the capitalist tradition of xmas shopping but then thatâs kind of the point. Itâs upsetting.

of course not.
Thatâs not the only problem.
This really is very silly.
Strongly disagree Wimm.
Iâm trying to avoid a ban by discussing the taboo topic, but on this subject the absolute thinking coming from both sides is a huge issue.
Iâm agreeing with you, sillyface.

But seriously,
This thinking of âYOU CANâT EXPERIENCE ANY JOY BECAUSE OF WHATâS HAPPENINGâ is really really poor.
Obviously, I dont have kids myself but I have 1 teenage niece, 2 child nieces and a newborn newphew. No one is going to stop me from making sure they get to experience all the joy that our family Christmas offers and i will not be told I am a bad person for doing that.

A lot of people will rejoice if thereâs less scam texts/calls
Mind you I havenât had any for a while.
I donât think anyone has said that, but if you have a link to Gaza it may be hard to feel joy at all.
You should absolutely enjoy the time with your family. Heff kids are inquisitive, weâve talked about whatâs happening in the middle east. We reflect that for many, life is terrible and we feel empathy towards them. We know itâs not a happy time for many. Reminds us how fortunate we are and how important it is to enjoy time together.
I hope you enjoy your family time over Christmas.

And I agree with that. But what you cannot do is deny others joy and happiness.
Which is exactly what the older children amongst my wider family do as well. You can that and still experience a wonderful Christmas.
Im just â â â â â â â sick of this âIf you ⌠then youâre a âŚâ thinking.
