Why euthanasia is partially blind to love

Scottish Catholic Observer ^ | 3/27/1 | Fr. Ronald Rolheiser

In our dying bodies we can give our loved ones something we cannot fully give them when we are healthy and active. Euthanasia is partially blind to the mystery of how love is given.

Very true.

The idea of love without words is foreign to those who have built their world around mere words, words, words

[HiTech RedNeck]

It’s a great sad human folly that if we cannot make a thing move or otherwise actively adapt it with our mortal efforts, than that thing means nothing.

Sometimes it is the time to just step back and let God be God in a situation.

You’ve been watching My Fair Lady again, haven’t you? LOL. Those lyrics actually kind of fit here.

---

Words! Words! Words! I’m so sick of words!
I get words all day through;
First from him, now from you!
Is that all you blighters can do?
Don’t talk of stars burning above;
If you’re in love, Show me!
Tell me no dreams filled with desire.
If you’re on fire, Show me!
Here we are together in the middle of the night!
Don’t talk of spring! Just hold me tight!
Anyone who’s ever been in love’ll tell you that
This is no time for a chat!
Haven’t your lips longed for my touch?
Don’t say how much, Show me! Show me!
Don’t talk of love lasting through time.
Make me no undying vow. Show me now!

Sing me no song! Read me no rhyme!
Don’t waste my time, Show me!
Don’t talk of June, Don’t talk of fall!
Don’t talk at all! Show me!
Never do I ever want to hear another word.
There isn’t one I haven’t heard.
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream;
Say one more word and I’ll scream!
Haven’t your arms hungered for mine?
Please don’t “expl’ine,” Show me! Show me!
Don’t wait until wrinkles and lines
Pop out all over my brow,
Show me now!

Amusingly, I have never been to that and almost never listened to it. One of my popular cultural lacunae.

The whole point of euthanasia is to make man into god. We are removing “God’s Will” to “Man’s will be done”.

Words/Language-—from the philosophy of Wittgenstein again.....Control the Words and you control the perceptions of the “ignorant” masses.

“Death with Dignity” is a Marxist creation, as is creating oxymorons (for mass consumption so Reason will disappear) like the term “homosexual “marriage”-—an impossibility which now all children who have heard that term repeated over and over believe it is god-ordained and Logical.

Words matter. Ideas matter-—particularly when children hear them over and over-—it will create the proper perceptions (for useful idiots).

All Classical education (and the Bible) teaches that Wisdom only comes through suffering. Marxists hate Wisdom in the masses and are trying to create “heaven on earth” since they believe in nothing.

🎶 There isn't one, I haven't heard. 🎶

Well, maybe lacunae. Which I guess would be one of my vocabulary lacunae?

Swinging back to the point you made, some people think they can substitute words for actions. Saying "I love you" is infinitely easier than providing tangible services to someone in need. Miss Doolittle figured out that life lesson in the end.

Awesome

[HiTech RedNeck]

with the whole thing egged on by the devil

[HiTech RedNeck]

i mean, this is being pulled along by a colossally evil power that is trying to “get at” God any way it can. this is not like mere bumbling and stumbling.

Euthanasia is not about putting any one out of their misery. It is spelled M O N E Y.

Hi, BB.

[floriduh voter]

I was in high school My Fair Lady, a bit part. Our Henry Higgins was in the movie Gremlins and was the first Rum Tum Tigger in Cats, Terrance Mann.

He tours with Pippin now as the old King(makes me feel a little bit older too.)

[BykrBayb]

Hi yourself, FV. Long time no see. Hope you’re doing well. How are the ducks and kitties?

[floriduh voter]

I got FUMIGATED. Me personally. The vikane gas didn’t leave like Dow Chemical says it does. One kitty and I have been ill since Nov. 1. Chloropicrin is a killer poison. So far, it’s killed my voice, wrecked lots of me but I’m workin’ on it. Naturally, no ambulance chasers for being poisoned. WHAT A COUNTRY!
