Well the mix of "The good, the bad and the ugly" (also beautiful) comes with our human territory but is not part of the heavenly territory. Btw I bought a better mouse trap about a year ago that does not harm a mouse in any way, the catch is that you have to release the mouse somewhere out in the bushes, which I did and was taken aback at how he instantly rocketed out of the traps hinged door with a squeak and a determined will to live while jumping into the bushes regardless of whatever a big human like me was doing! (which kind of reminded me of that mouse in the movie "The Green Mile". --- I once tried those glue traps for mice but what a horrible way for a mouse to go!

Taomeow, you sure have been around the block a few times or should I say the mats... I quit Taekwondo when the black belt kept saying, "one kick one kill" which is not a measured reaction to me that could have different or better out comes. (although for an all out war or battle situation like in the Korean war of the 50's where a commander developed it (or in similar situations) such a saying would be more applicable)

at least cats continue to land correctly when or if falling or jumping.

""Om Tat Sat" is a Sanskrit mantra from the Bhagavad Gita that signifies the supreme reality, absolute truth, or "all that is". It is a combination of three sacred sounds: "Om" represents the primordial sound of creation and Brahman; "Tat" means "that"; and "Sat" represents eternal existence or truth. Chanting the mantra is believed to awaken higher consciousness and connect the practitioner to the true self by affirming ultimate reality and unity in existence."

Ai driven fighting machines and various robots are a reality, and depending on their programming something like "Skynet" could become a factor and not just sci-fi...

if pepper spray works on grizzlies maybe it would work on gators?

there are tips on how to properly use your iron skillet with skill, along with related iron palm training that one can practice in the comfort of their own kitchen... (which is good if using skillet as a weapon of for cooking)

cats would eat the cheese but probably not the cauliflower...unless straving.

like trained or acquired muscle memory for certain physical actions/reactions without the slower process of only thinking through a task...also our instinctive type actions or reactions. Btw, some folks have trained and acquired a lot verbal muscle memory in their mouths, lol sometimes.

being somewhat of a gear head your post also translates to me in the sense of a V-8 engine that is designed, built and tuned up very well, and for that to happen all of its parts must work together resulting in good power at the crankshaft which is then hooked to a transmission and the rest of the drive train and finally to the tires where the rubber meets the road...wa-la. (alas, most internal combustion engines lose a lot of energy in various forms like heat, friction and moving their inherent weight around thus the never ending and creative engineering efforts to greatly reduce such losses!)

surely you are not forgetting the subtle and not subtle examples throughout the past couple of thousand years of how evil has often co-opted Christianity for its purposes? ....(and which Jesus saw coming way ahead of time)
