  1. Imagine someone saying that about your daughter. Getting a good deal on a human isn't a good deal.

  2.  @Supreme_Lobster  (I think it can be, but praising ones effort & personally appreciating one &/or their effort are not always synonymous. )

  3.  @vicknairfirm  Agree. If she's under a Hospice companies care/oversight, as my Mom was the last week or so of her life, they have a Chaplain who is happy to come visit & pray for/with her. Ours even played his guitar & sang a song at my Mom's funeral & delivered a beautiful message along with the main speaker.

  4. Intrinsically motivated "mutual reward" is still transacting value within a relationship at the end of the day, consciously or unconsciously.

  5. Amen. Think of it as doing you a favor by filtering themselves out.

  6. That's why he said use discernment.

  7. ​​ @cosmictreason2242  Exactly. (About it being unethical to help her cheat to get a Doctorate.)

  8. ​​ @jn3750  It was more the principle of it to show her attitude towards you. Which tells you she doesn't actually even wanna be "friends" either. Ghosting until she needs a favor already told that, but this would confirm. To be blunt, if you've already told her how you feel, it sounds like you got your answer.

  12. Thanks for this! I'm in this process now & have been since i decided to stop working four months ago, for the time being & move back home to help take care of & be with my Mom who was in end stage ALS. She passed on the 12th of this month in my arms, with my Siblings & Dad also by her side. I've experienced various traumas in my life, but i'm finding losing your Mom, especially with an illness such as hers, is profound in a different sort of way considering she's a figure we were literally connected to from our beginning. ( I have been the caregiver for a woman with it before, which thankfully helped me prepare on some level-- That, & full assurance i'll see her again.) Even though me & my Mom didn't have the ideal relationship, a Mother is the heart of a home & there is a marked echo of emptiness without her presence. Your channel has been a Haven every day for me since i was sent a video towards the end of Feb. It came at the time most needed & i've remained a Moth to your warm, bright flame. I just wanted to thank you for being a "Door of Hope" in my valley. YHWH bless you, April

  13. I understand how some feel this way from a secular standpoint, but respectfully, when you say, "brothers in Christ," a different perspective comes into view: "Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid." - I Corin 6 : 15

  14. There have been studies on prostitutes showing " Most (60% to 70%) were  sexually abused as children , 65% have been raped, most of them before the age of 15, and many young women and girls enter prostitution directly from state care, at least in England, Norway, Australia and Canada." "Studies of women in prostitution show an extremely high level of violence is perpetrated against women in prostitution. Figures vary across studies. One representative study showed 82% of respondents had been physically assaulted since entering prostitution, 55% of those by clients. Additionally, 80% had been physically threatened while in prostitution, 83% of those with a weapon. 8% reported physical attacks by pimps and clients of a nature that resulted in serious injury, for example gunshot wounds and knife wounds. 68% reported having been raped since entering prostitution, 48% more than five times and 46% reporting rapes committed by clients. "

  16. Orion is quite open. If you listen to enough or better yet all his previous vids & interviews, you'd have your answer.

  17. He says use discernment. There are different types of men & different types of women, different types of beliefs, but women need to be useful regardless. There are many ways to be useful besides sex.

  18.  @sex3pointzero  The point is you may call it "mutual reward", but it is a transaction of value within a relationship. How do you define "mutual reward"? How do you define "friendship"? Without a transaction of some sort of value, there is no friendship. When the unspoken contract of what constitutes friendship is violated enough times, it ceases to be.

  19.  @sex3pointzero  You can use your own terminology & shamelessly plug your book on his channel, but you have not disproven what Orion said. We can agree to disagree.

  20. How many of his videos have you watched? I'd encourage you to start from oldest first & take a deep dive.

  21. That song is the 1st thing I thought of.

  22. "Oh, every year hath its winter, And every year hath its rain-- But a day is always coming When the birds go north again. When new leaves swell in the forest, And grass springs green on the plain, And alders' veins turn crimson-- And the birds go north again. Oh, every heart hath its sorrow, And every heart hath its pain-- But a day is always coming When the birds go north again. 'Tis the sweetest thing to remember, If courage be on the wane, When the cold, dark days are over-- Why, the birds go north again." - Ella Higginson

  24. Yep, I was raised that way, too. Told guys don't like girls who "chase" them. This is why the handkerchief thing was a thing. Looking him in the eyes, smiling at him, etc is the most basic & inviting way to communicate openess to him.

  25. Yep & if someone doesn't feel "known", how could they ever feel truly "loved"?

  32. ​​ @ChristnThms  He can, though, that's why he needs the advice. Its only dead & "lost" if one leaves it in that other person/circumstance. It is in reality yours to take back. If you don't believe that, it's up to you, but that's my reply on the subject of Hope.

  34. Thank you for sharing your deeply personal experience! Really glad you shared that. I dont feel at liberty to go in depth here about a lot of it, & have only told a few close confidants, but i was translated twice. I saw things i later read about in the Bible & had other confirmation, not that i needed any, but its worth noting. I experienced the timelessness you did. That was one of the things that really struck me. Time only exists here. I believed you had a similar profound experience from a couple things you've said in the past & its also something you can recognize in others when they even hint at it. Its life changing & while i dont truly know why i got to experience what i did besides Grace, i've thought to myself many times, i dont know if i would have made it through the worst moments in life ive gone through since if i hadnt seen beyond it all already. Thanks again. Looking forward to any upcoming episodes relating to this.

  35. *Go back to 3:15--3:45 & he clearly also notes you have to use your discernment to find out which type company you're dealing with.

  36. The principle is if a woman can recognize & receive the unadulterated love of a child, she is capable of doing the same with a man.

  37. Its the gentlemanly thing to do, to open doors for women. I wouldn't have complained about it, but I would notice on a date. Where I come from strangers almost always get the door for me, it's just a customary courtesy type thing.

  44. Better living through prostitution isn't congruent with where it all started, his 1st video "Be the person you can love: how to build self respect." Gotta wait for part 3, I suppose.

  50. ...& that's fine & good, because it's genuine. You just need a woman that is also a romantic at heart who will recognize & appreciate your expressions of it. She has to be very into you, as well.
