So much about conservatism is trying to control others into small lives to control their own fears.
The number of religious fundamentalist and conservatives who reached their last days piled with regrets of things they should’ve done and not let others tell them how to live is innumerable
A friend in her 70s whose husband is dying has lived her whole life in a strong conservative religious tradition
she’s looking forward to him dying so she can live her life. I know she regrets the life she lived, but at 75 hard to admit life wasted conforming to an abusive husband and religion
Even just leaving a Catholic family and going to school for a year or two.
Real eye opener.
"Yeah, none of the temptations you were taught to fear about yourself were ever actually the problems you should have worried about."
Yup. I thought, for most of my 67 years, that Utopia would be a quiet place out in the country. I was wrong. Now I live in a very blue city in Europe, and I have found that Utopia is here. This city (Valencia, España) is vibrant, fun, interesting, and chock full of wonderful people. I dearly love it
