I don’t know what it’s like to have a proper Dad

By: Hive account@raymondspeaks

Can’t honestly say I know what it feels like to have a proper Dad. Well, actually, I tell a lie. My Mum dated a guy years ago when I was around seven, his name was Jackie, and I had a momentary glimpse of sanity, of what having a proper father was like. I wasn’t his of course, but he took me on as his own, and I look back and think that’s what a father should be like. That’s what unconditional love should feel like. He would take me out on his own somewhere every Saturday, to play snooker, or pool, or walks, or, y’know, whatever. Stuff that Dads do. Mum was only with him for a year or so. To be honest I can’t remember, but I will never forget the long walk back to my Grans that day, when he took me aside to tell me that I couldn’t be in his life anymore. That it wasn’t my fault. I well up as I write this, no-one has scratched the surface since then.

“What does it mean to ‘Be Spiritual’, and do you have to act a certain way to be a Spiritual Person? - ecoTrain Question Of The Week”

By: Hive account@sharoonyasir

This week Hive account@eco-alex, the driver of the amazing Hive account@ecotrain came up with this brilliant question and I am excited to share my viewpoint on it. For a very long time, I confused spirituality with religion and thought that to be spiritual enough one only had to be religious and since I have been told Islam is the best religion in the world, I also believed that one ought to be a Muslim only to be spiritual. . I was surprised to see people living a nomadic life and some even not having any religious faiths call themselves spiritual. This puzzled me a lot but I didn’t care much about finding out the truth because I believed my belief was right and there was no way it could be wrong.
