Do you think Judas’s betrayal was an act of faith? Judas, who was pragmatic, who was trusted to handle their money, who made sure their resources could be spent wisely. Judas, whose sin had always been being too pragmatic and forgetting to leave room for the miraculous? Do you think Judas entered the city behind the donkey and thought “Something miraculous is going to happen.” Do you think he heard about the bounty and thought “Jesus has humiliated and outsmarted the Pharisees every other time they’ve tried to trap him. I’ll turn him in for the money and he will escape and think of how many things we can do with that silver.” ? Do you think his horror was just remorse, or recognizing a miscalculation?

reverse solipsism: everyone else has a vibrant interior life but I'm just a passive observer

Help! Why am I so burdened by my deep unwavering love for everyone who has ever crossed paths with me! How do I stop the horrors associated with unbridled passion and devotion!!

When we are tasked with coming to terms with the impermanence of our existence, we tend to seek any semblance of immovability we can grasp- only to find that nothing is truly permanent. Only that which we have intangibly experienced can be considered permanent. The only permanence we have is not facts of the world, but in the existence of feeling. The only constant we have is the knowledge we feel, we feel feelings that can be shared for eternity and connect us to everyone that’s come before and will come after. But yeah no I guess I believe in spirituality or something.
