"Iâve listened to someone as young as 14 and someone as old as 100 talk about their close friends, and [there are] three expectations of a close friend that I hear people describing and valuing across the entire life course,â says William Rawlins, the Stocker Professor of Interpersonal Communication at Ohio University. âSomebody to talk to, someone to depend on, and someone to enjoy. These expectations remain the same, but the circumstances under which theyâre accomplished change.â

I apologize for my purposefully divisive comments on prayer, fundamentalism, and letter of the law religion. I recognize in them a lack of compassion.
As an individual who prays to a supreme (not Diana Ross) power, I see value in prayer. Due to the value I also see in the dissolution of labels and constructed beliefs, I let my interest in the dissonance that can bring destruction override equanimity in tone and presentation.
I cannot destroy your constructed beliefs nor force an experience of any kind-- I forgot that, as my passion got in the way.
Please understand: I am challenged in tonality by strong opinions on faiths that recommend slaughter or subjugation. Many do.
A better framing: does your faith pray to a God that would cast anyone to a hell for getting the name of God "wrong"? That would enslave a people? That kills? How does this make you feel in light of recent tragedies?
