List of sins that God will damn you for in the Hebrew Bible

»Judaism has no word for sin. […] Judaism has the concept of חטא chet. Although it is sometimes conveniently but incorrectly translated as sin, chet means to ›miss the mark‹ – to be heading for the ›bull’s-eye‹ of moral and ethical behavior but to veer off course, to make a mistake. The Jewish ›bull’s-eye‹ is the proper observance of the mitzvot – the ethical and ritual commands of God. So chet means to ›transgress the mitzvot‹ , to fail to correctly or completely fulfill God’s precepts and commandments. The Hebrew word for repentance is תשובה t’shuvah, which means ›to return‹ – to come back to the path leading to the ›bull’s-eye‹ of following God’s commands.«

– Rabbi Wayne D. Dosick: Living Judaism. The Complete Guide to Jewish Belief, Tradition, and Practice

http://www.aish.com/h/hh/gar/atonement/48954551.html? “This is the idea of teshuva. Teshuva literally means “return.” When we “do teshuva,” we examine our ways, identify those areas where we are losing ground, and “return” to our own previous state of spiritual purity. And in the process, we “return” to our connection with the Almighty as well.

The process of teshuva involves the following four steps:

Step 1 - Regret. Realize the extent of the damage and feel sincere regret.

Step 2 - Cessation. Immediately stop the harmful action.

Step 3 - Confession. Articulate the mistake and ask for forgiveness.

Step 4 - Resolution. Make a firm commitment not to repeat it in the future.“

“How should we feel upon recognizing a mistake? Should we feel guilty, worthless and bad? No! “Guilt” is the negative emotion saying that “I am bad.” Whereas “regret” is the positive acknowledgement that while my essence remains pure, I have failed to live up to my potential.“

Developing class consciousness.

A condor has struck up an unusual friendship with a man who saved the huge creature’s life.

The man nursed the condor back to health after it reportedly fell from a nest as a baby.

And the condor clearly didn’t forget his rescuer, as video footage shows the pair greeting each other with hugs and one big warm embrace, after the condor returned.

After being rescued, the condor – the largest bird in North America – was then able to learn how to fly and return to normal life.

BIRD HUG!!! BIRD HUG!!! BIRD HUG!!!

this husky is mad because he wants to take a bath but isn’t allowed to

let my poor baby take his bath

If y'all really knew. If y'all really knew what utter drama queens huskies are this wouldn’t surprise you at all.

This is my life.

Literally my husky is the same way. He’s only a few months and he’ll cry to go back outside after being in the house two seconds.

I once ran out of my house in my pajamas at 2 in the fucking morning because I heard a dog screaming like it had been hit by a car. As I’m pelting towards the road barefoot I see an open garage with two people standing there and a husky in the back of a truck. I slowed down and asked them if that noise had been their dog.

Heavily embarrassed they admitted that it was. The reason for the godawful tortured sound the dog had made?

“We took his running harness off.”

And that was the moment I vowed to never own a husky.

I frequently pet sit for a friend’s husky, who is completely normal and unremarkable for her kind with one crucial exception.

She is dumb as soup.

(You didn’t hear that from me: her owner thinks she’s a genius, bless him.)

Anyway, my dog Tribble thinks Arya the husky is one of her very own adopted babies, so she stays with us fairly often. Reasons I have heard this dog dissolve into a screaming, wailing meltdown include:

She’s a very good dog, and she’s a sweet dog who is never offended by anything, but the screaming has singlehandedly ensued I will never, ever, ever own a husky. I like having functioning ears too much.

To be fair, you and your friend may both be right: huskies, like border-collies, are just intelligent enough to develop Exciting Cognitive Neuroses, much like a toddler, which frankly dumber dogs will skip because they don’t actually have quite enough extra cognitive space to think up ways to be utterly fucking ridiculous. 

I kind of suspect this is going on here in part because of the dog being so very specifically upset that the one cat won’t be friends, despite all the other cats being friends, and also the overcome-with-joy bits: you’ll notice they’re very similar to what makes toddlers randomly cry for no reason. 

Where a bulldog doesn’t care about the difference between laminate and hardwood, a husky is just smart enough to get VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THESE ARE SUBTLY DIFFERENT AND POSSIBLY IT MEANS THAT GETTING DOWN WILL BE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE AAAAAUGH! and get hysterically anxious about it. 

“Smarter”, in animals as in humans, does not actually always mean “more sensible.” XD 

I was feeling very lonely this evening and now I’m laughing down to my belly so thank you for this post

I feel like people were trying to deter me and they failed because I still want ten

Huskies are just babies who need all the love. Then they run away
