Two things I think are nonsense

Here goes: First one? This whole "unconditional love" thing. Unconditional love. Right. Listen, unconditional love sounds like a huge excuse to be an enabler. I have a daughter and sure, I love her unconditionally but I have to say, that doesn't mean she--or anyone else--can treat me poorly and that be okay. Will I still love her? Sure. But will I tolerate being treated badly? You're darn right I won't. And here's the other beauty: That whole "everything happens for a reason" nonsense. Holy cow. I can't begin to tell you how strongly I disagree with this. I think it's an excuse for people to go on living but not either analyzing life and realizing and accepting that there is a great deal of chance and pure fluke to nature, the world and universe. People just don't want to accept that there really may NOT be a "reason for everything." For that matter, their accepting this idea--that everything happens for a reason--gets them off the hook for thinking about life not having any real meaning or purpose, beyond living itself (and helping others, etc.) and that there very well really might not be anything after this life. These two bug me when people put them out there. People don't want to think, to evaluate and maybe think beyond comfortable little scenarios already planted in their heads. Faceslap.
