Robert E. Lee's Opinion Regarding Slavery
This letter was written by Lee in response to a speech given by then President Pierce.

Robert E. Lee letter dated December 27, 1856:

I was much pleased the with President's message. His views of the systematic and progressive efforts of certain people at the North to interfere with and change the domestic institutions of the South are truthfully and faithfully expressed. The consequences of their plans and purposes are also clearly set forth. These people must be aware that their object is both unlawful and foreign to them and to their duty, and that this institution, for which they are irresponsible and non-accountable, can only be changed by them through the agency of a civil and servile war. There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil. It is idle to expatiate on its disadvantages. I think it is a greater evil to the white than to the colored race. While my feelings are strongly enlisted in behalf of the latter, my sympathies are more deeply engaged for the former. The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, physically, and socially. The painful discipline they are undergoing is necessary for their further instruction as a race, and will prepare them, I hope, for better things. How long their servitude may be necessary is known and ordered by a merciful Providence. Their emancipation will sooner result from the mild and melting influences of Christianity than from the storm and tempest of fiery controversy. This influence, though slow, is sure. The doctrines and miracles of our Saviour have required nearly two thousand years to convert but a small portion of the human race, and even among Christian nations what gross errors still exist! While we see the course of the final abolition of human slavery is still onward, and give it the aid of our prayers, let us leave the progress as well as the results in the hands of Him who, chooses to work by slow influences, and with whom a thousand years are but as a single day. Although the abolitionist must know this, must know that he has neither the right not the power of operating, except by moral means; that to benefit the slave he must not excite angry feelings in the master; that, although he may not approve the mode by which Providence accomplishes its purpose, the results will be the same; and that the reason he gives for interference in matters he has no concern with, holds good for every kind of interference with our neighbor, -still, I fear he will persevere in his evil course. . . . Is it not strange that the descendants of those Pilgrim Fathers who crossed the Atlantic to preserve their own freedom have always proved the most intolerant of the spiritual liberty of others?

Christians is She the one?

Christians is She the one?

Ok, so here is my story. There was a girl that I worked with last year that I really liked. The feelings that I had for her are almost indescribable and we barely knew each other, she's the closest thing to love at first sight that I have ever been. It's not just her looks though, however she is extremely beautiful (Has been asked to model by several agencies), but the first time I saw her it's like something just clicked and I instantly knew that I had to be with her, and I have been around and seen and dated my share of beautiful women, but this was a feeling like it was just meant to be.

We worked together, getting to know each other for about 3 months. Everything was going good, we would eat lunch together and several other women that we worked with would joke and make fun us for secretly liking each other, it's like everybody knew that we had a thing for each other. This all ended when I came into work one morning hungover from my birthday party the night before. (I know I know, please spare me the lectures...) Sadly I was fired the next day and never saw her again.

Now, I have found her via facebook as I was browsing and searching for friends. I don't know if I should add her or not. We were never really close, but we would hug every time we saw each other and she would occasionally kiss me on the cheek. I had a crush on her, I thought about her day and night and no girl has ever had an affect on me like that before.

Here is the kicker, I have since changed. I have become very religious and close to God and so I don't fit that same mold anymore. I don't do the same things, hang out with the same people, or act how I used to. I don't know if I want her because of lust or because God is trying to tell me she is the one, but seeing her on facebook has brought back all of those old feelings and I feel like she was the one who got away?

Thanks for answering (I'm 20 and she's 21 by the way)

Beginning of my book?

Surviving Long Distance Relationship?

Surviving Long Distance Relationship?

I was searching for the keyword “how to survive gay long distance relationship”.
I was inspired to write you and tell my story. My name is Yujin and I am from Manila, Philippines. It is lucky that my parents had accepted my sexuality since I officially came out at the age of 19. I am 29 years old now.

I had ended my 10 year relationship with another man last year. It should have ended on the 5th year but we tried to fix it. It survived another 5 years but those extra 5 years are becoming more and more difficult for both of us. and so, the relationship ended.

After it ended, I had short term relationships.. This has been I guess my way to tell myself that I am “still” young and I will be just fine without him (the man I lived with for the last 10 years). But since these were all “rushed” It did not work as well. I will be honest that my sexual level was high and I had those new relationship to satisfy the need.

Until one day October 19, 2009. I was seen by a guy whom I just added in one of those Social Network sites. He was just there in my profile page but we never get a chance to communicate. The next day, I received a letter from him saying “I saw you walking in front of Gateway Mall…just want to say hello”. I replied to him “You could have greeted me then please reach me at (my mobile number)”. And that afternoon, I received a text message from him.

And so we met in my house. lets call him by the name “Merck”. Of course since this guy waited for 2 years just for me know that he exists, he was so exited about it (both emotionally and sexually). One the very first time we met, something happened. But according to him he did not do it for lust. He did it to let me know that his waiting has come to an end. He asked if I am still seeing another person and he will understand..he just wants honesty. I told him of course I am free.

I do not know if destiny is really playful because when he visited my house for the first time, he received a call from the Employment Agency that his application to The Middle East is approved and he can now start working with his requirements. He is a Registered nurse. I told myself secretly “did he come just to say goodbye?”. I pretended happy but of course I was sad..I hate all forms of goodbyes. But I cannot hinder this person of his dream.

We dated and courted each other for the next 2 weeks until we official on October 30, 2010. He revealed to me everything. From his childhood, his favorites, family. The challenge that I had with him was he gets jealous..not in an unhealthy way. Its because he does not want to lose me anymore. It was nice and I assured him that “he will be the one”. He knows that I am prone to temptation and since he is a Christian, he had asked me to throw all my porn related materials. According to him, if I believe and I truly love him, I will do it because this act is for me anyways. I did that.

We enjoyed each other. He sees to it that we meet everyday, we go to church together, spend time quietly. We made plans and schemes and we do our best to survive. We were able to enjoy our “Monthsary”, Christmas and New Year. On January 1, 2010..He bought a pair of ring. Though we know that same sex marriage is not yet recognized in the Philippines, a simple moment of vows is good enough.

I love this guy. So in love with him that I forgot that time flies. February 17, 2010, we talked and he said that he will leave for Middle East on March 1, 2010.
I know that he will have to fly one of these days. I had accepted that situation. But I cant help but to cry and be sad. I have been reading books regarding LDR but how come I feel restless and fearful?
He assured me that he will be on vacation every 6 months and he is going to do this for our dream. He even looks forward that he will find me a job there related to my work (I am working in a contact center). My mom is very supportive with me and him and encourages us. He even told my mom that “I am HIS forever”.

Any advise on how I can survive this sadness?
