It makes me think of this quote:

"Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will."—Suzy Kassem

It shows how powerful the fear of failure is.

It also shows that many people don’t get as far as failure killing their dream. They stop at the fear of failure. They give up before they even start. They kill their idea without giving it a fighting chance.

Here in Slovakia (and other Slavic countries) the term for ground and earth is exactly the same. We knew what we were doing :D

Judging and understanding are not synonymous with each other. You also will not always be able to understand another individual, but you are free to judge them however you feel is necessary. Unfortunately it benefits no one that we should sit on our hands, and demand that we have all the answers before we can act.

Not that I'm promoting ignorance, far from it, but we have to be familiar with not being able to play with a full deck.

AnAussieBloke, you're a good dude. You deserve better.

There's plenty more fish in the sea. I know you will find the right person for you.

I know it's hard right now but you have so much life left. Cut the ties. Surround yourself with good people. And work step by step to achieve happiness. There may be a lot of steps but if you take one seltep each day, you will eventually get there.

I’m an aircraft electrician. There is no “earth” wire on an aircraft, only grounds. The earth vs ground argument is context driven, and also varies by region. Even the wires(braided cables) that hang off the aircraft landing gear to contact the ground when on the ground are called grounding straps/wires, not earth straps or similar.

In the home electrical stuff I’ve done I’ve mostly heard ground. The earth ground is a specific wire run from the main circuit breaker panel that’s then attached to a grounding rod.

I’m u.s. based, so I suspect the earth terminology is used either in specific industries I’m not familiar with, or different regions.
