as above, so below
they're basically all like those asian schookids after exam day throwing out reams and reams of books out the window huh
the worst human is the one who ever steps foot in their school again
im just gonna be a youtuber im taking public speaking classes to modulate my voice tone
You hate sin?
Great!
Now show me you’re capable of loving the sinner.
everyone says this but in practice they use it as an excuse for missionary dating and sending kids to public school etc.
i'm honestly starting to feel like it is rhetorically valid to say love is not love in this age cuz most people's love is [sarx]
because their parents are also terrible
the only answer vision and dreams, determination, the theology of the cross. however, it might have a different connotation to gen z or maybe i myself am dumb
It's like they are saying
give me today
soldiers in somebody else's plan
at the medical center
saying
tomorrow, tomorrow, today
under a golden sky
throwing frisbees
At this point it's either God
or the right hand of Metal Gear Rex
that we walk forward
even conscious or unconscious
like the girl with charm,
the guy with rizz
who turned out to be not such a great
manager of human beings
with no idea who
wants to know or doesn't want to know
what's on your heart or in your soul
playing videogames in the living room
like a variation on "Konstantine"
so soon we express ourselves
I feel like no one really want to be known anymore
and in the battle of life maybe
some have decided it's better to lose
pawing, plodding, molto moderato
by the duckpond as the summer rabbits
as though to say, Dust and dreams
not understanding
as though to say, If I had a farm to call my own
I too might encourage college students to resist the government
to hitch a bright-winged back-beaten ride
on "the rude bird of hate"
Kairos time outside the library
in the days when I thought language is everything
though already I was someone else's image,
a character in their computer vision
as though to say, If I love you enough I will get love eventually
purposefulness, worth-it-ness,
even a sense of losing time
No one ever told you you were carrying a treasure
Turns out they love themselves, like the others
going through life saying that it is no one's responsibility
free to love in retirement
living a meaningful sorrowful life
I wonder if I have anything to say
executing a wise plan although
there seemed to be no just cause
like trying to love people I hate
in a realm of abolished common sense
knowing or not knowing if it is wrong
and everyone's looking for a liberation
like the face of the Beloved
As if we did not depart
and as if we truly lived the life of trust
as if it all came in time, predestined,
like a machine that works out right
like at this point no one knows,
just a dream, an internet relationship
on the day of falling rain
and I don't know what I would tell someone
about holding on, or fighting,
no sense of a tangible reward and nowhere to go home to
a dehumanized society,
just someone else's purpose-driven life
Jesus. What's up with all these Left leaning feminists who suddenly call women awful shit when their opinions differ. Damn.
Suddenly?
It is the entire "muh Western civilization"
I'm not blaming Martin Luther but
it is some people
White conservative men also liek taking potshots at the mythic or real college-educated white women
IT's a sign of a degenerate people - or simply demoralized, exhausted - discouraged to the point where they think the one answer is to get rid of anything that faintly offends them - with no sense of shared purpose nor any ability to persuade. And every rifleman wants to be general (and political commissar) -
in "workplace psychology terms" everyone is a plant or ideas-man, a legislative type coming up with new frameworks that they assume are the beginnings of a benevolent new civitas (in the Bible the first builder of a city is Vain)
Happens in the Church too - instead of solving the real problems people purity spiral and say impossible stuff.
Just go to JApan and Korea which are basically the only countries where talking objectively about someone's error or problem is seen as caring for them by establishing a framework for diagnosing and providing a solution, instead of seen as undermining their mojo of self-persuasion
WE must learn to live together with love and patience, we dying ones
Yves says a quick comeback for her is being prepared 🍎
source
I want her to come to my planet again
Eebu..
It's really messed up, everything is really stressful
and still we are groaning under people that exalt uselessness and playing around
Pope Leo says "Peace is no longer sought" and this is true
like no one has been seeking peace since 1871, just more and more ludicrous balloon-trips
This is the kind of recreation that leaves a hangover if not leading to outright catastrophe
We must become like monks who sleep and hear angels in their sleep
or engineers who dream up new algorithms (in the Holy Ghost)
You think you are doing a chemical unwind, solving a problem
You are doing violence to yourself and harming yourself
Maybe someone once told you you're a soldier, war-trash, that you should treat yourself like a machine ~
You must find the presence of God (I'm not good at this honestly; I just feel the presence of my own mind and find it hard to let go)
Go home and kiss your spouse, yes,
Just read the Bible, you need to learn how to read
You need to learn how to listen to God and seek wisdom
all the way
Feminism is a propaganda-driven mental disorder that removes women's ability to love, reason or maintain anything objectively good in the world.
I can actually understand this mind and it is not just women but men as well because everything about Charlie Kirk types of pro-natalism really is a little offensive. Deeper Christians like Solzhenitsyn pointed out that you can't make Man the end of Man - including even the love between mother and child (sorry, China) or a husband and wife.
Many children come into the world with no purpose - born of "accidental parents" - and stumble around in the darkness looking for God, often finding something much worse.
Other children come into the world "born of a husband's will" (as Jesus says) but are not really wanted past a point. It is dispiriting to me to see the Church double down on Genesis rather than Acts in this day; it seems a symptom of demoralization and neglect of the Holy Spirit that so many Christians, as well as secular conservatives, no longer want to strengthen people's souls but just generate more of "that which is born of flesh" (for a vacation to Iraq, Ukraine, the mental ward etc.)
In terms of my future wife, the archetype I really look for is Hannah in the Bible - someone who prayed not just for a child to justify her before her husband (like Leah) or before society (again, sorry China) but for a child she could give as a gift back to God, who ended up becoming the perfect prophet whose words never fell to the ground. So if you want a family I think you should pray the whole way through, even draw up a wish-list of prayers you hope will fructify 150 years from now.
*I will say this, it is my strong conviction that part of why I'm not dead, regardless what you think of politics or culture, is the outright prayer of Koreans (and others). There are probably people in prison in different places in the world today, they could be complaining to God or even eating, or maybe they're mining coal in a gulag but they really are praying and they know that even if they die God is pleased with their prayer, and whatever is meant to happen by way of salvation or strife in this world will be coefficient with their asking God.
Even the theologically wishy-washy Pope Francis was of the opinion that Christians today don't pray enough - maybe especially Romanist types who really do have a vast corporate institution they can look to and a trillion magazines to read and conversations to have. In my own life I have noticed that sometimes it seems like church is 10 minutes of songs and 10 minutes of creed and prayer and then like 50 minutes of warmed-over literary criticism followed by hours of snacking and chaffering. That's good for diagnosing metamodern cybernetics at the Sorbonne or sth but past a point if you want a hand to hold you have to see about God Himself (as it talks about in The Knowledge of the Holy).

In my 20s when I saw stuff like this I thought life is great because life is cringe like an amazing (French) novel; now i'm not sure what to think
God is the ultimate poet and artist and we are all inevitable people, there are no accidental children
red and orange prayer,
everyone's supposed to be happy
free to believe, free even
to experience the day as a gift
an 18 year mistake quite honestly
it is hard to take some people seriously
never learning - never even dreaming
with heavy steps into the futureless bedrooms
it's not a bad thing to love life i guess
not a bad thing to love love
nor pass by in silence, smiling at satan's frown
God's spies drawing lines
pretty lines amongst the constellations of decision points
diving into the mystic past
at the coffeeshop so proper
for our little life
as before the winter fire and saying i am sorry
in your perhaps hand a perhaps soft
or hardback book,
don't really care since the letter kills and yet
here they come,
both those who believe in their own
daughters and sons
and those who don't
and it seems like either way humans can tend to get it wrong
like no one's really looking around,
it's a cool story
for generals and geniuses and their camp-followers
really happy in a way ever since college
when i was tutoring this kid
at the center and my girlfriend met me
feeling special, my first business card,
grad school exams
in any case just looking for a wall to lean on
respectable university
this year the musical is the little mermaid
i feel like God wants to say
look around but not too much
as the latinX bakery named
for the holy trinity
i feel like all these people are terrible and i am just going to start my own church
with a radio station, a school
and a robot army (nukes included)
i do not trust any of these pranksters with my family
twilight of the gooners and boomers
can't get away from the shame just wanna drive
in the deer it is like germany
the escarpment, the trees
and the boats by the lakehouse
you think it would make you happy
till you realize the moss your soul is gathering
then it's like, why should i trust anybody (even myself)
we're all just processing our feelings about being bad and evil
if that's what it takes for the Spirit to empty our "selves"
people really don't care
if there was a shooting and their kids died
if they themselves got cancer
running up the credit card
just want rizz and to like
oneself, one's one, and the shuffle and slide
if you ever find something better than yourself
you seem to be at risk for s**cide
feeling like this blonde girl i saw once
like, are you from russia cuz
I remember the familiar architecture,
the book that I read at Barnes and Noble
and in retrospect how unprepared i was
though people think that things are certain
"You do not have because you do not ask"
I feel like at this point, if I gave you everything the universe owed you
there would be no difference between me
and your Amazon DSP
cuz in fact no one wants anybody
the experience of the hospital room
the sense of all that is holy
i felt like i don't have the right to my own personality
in a way it's really dumb
to love someone just cuz you think you need love
everyone's offended not really thinking
speaking the language of cheeseburgers(?)
my friend and i used to read that website
as love grew or died
river so green and the dream
of meeting minds, not growing old
everyone acts like their love is a cope
years pass in which we decide nothing
and then decide everything
people's destinies are dark to us
a bit obsessed with high-flown
quixotic intentions
like to say, is this the life i can save
i feel like i should move to california
already too late by the time you say
with a problem it is
supposed to be somebody's job to fix
we get tired,
flouncing about the orchard
remembering, thinking
everyone else felt to have this nous
while the sad young men grew imperious
victims of our bodies, people in denial
i just feel like a dead man
i feel like what most people say is just not true
as if i took my watch off
and put it on again
in the other days i always assumed
that i was more or less right
not even propelled by love
as the marigold sun
thinking on the bus
of "muh nobility of soul"
past a point it's easy to call
easy to say who the bad guys are
grace by faith or lukewalker
a very different song
as from a different mom

i dunno if it's really true or not but i feel like there are at least two intellectual styles which are the person that seeks the truth, and the person that mistakes an opus of opinions for some kind of balanced perspective. an intrinsic weakness of checks-and-balances "muh constitution" type republicanism is that everyone starts to hear one-hand-other-hand but when it comes to making a decision or taking a side sometimes it doesn't work.
watching this youtube video of this guy woh is like, a young adult author and youtuber who writes young adult novels about youtubers and he is saying no one should have a dream or fixed goal, just pick up tricks as you go along. this is the thing about the gamification of technological society where it's not that hard for a lot of people to achieve modest success and, because it seems to come easy, a fair number of card-carrying ultra-orthodox midwits think that their own experience applies to everyone.
i'm not condemning internet randos but honestly thinking about my life i feel as though only love-experiences, not sex or infatuation but a real sense of connection to the mind and soul of another and the mind of God, shape a person. past a point with people in my life now reaching their middle age i even see how those who didn't have a powerful impression of love in an age of innocence, to one extent or another lose their memories. they like telling little stories but they don't hold anything in their heart; though, saying this, i realize that i too am no mary treasuring up the angels' things in my heart...
dead hearts...
honestly when you reach a certain age - it seemed to hit way earlier for some millennials - you just start letting it rain in one way or another cutting people off. you realize that this person is never going to work or that friendship doesn't really serve you. without a basis in doctrine that talks about the value of someone you might even commit a serious crime or cruelty or neglect someone to whom you have a formal, covenantal obligation. even without crossing over the line there is a way in which the conscience weakens. in some sense God seems to set up the world this way though, there, to assert that people's carelessness is the Father's will flies in the face of not only biblical theology but observed realities like mother-love or the perduration of friendship, if not also soldiers' selflessness. the real problem in the West seems to be creative incompetence - not just in the sense of bad art but for instance in being unable to create revitalizations for cities or any kind of reasonable, prudent legislation surrounding technology. it's interesting that the UK wants to get rid of all social media for udner-16's which - to put it in a slightly fundamentalist way - to my sense violates children's human rights by cutting them off from potential sources of communication; something even south korea with a serious internet-overuse or -addiction problem isn't doing. a number of my good friends had really valuable formative experiences with online friends from all over the world, in tender and sometimes very vulnerable high school years. cutting them off from that in some sense is like turning the lights off and it appeals to a kind of anti-real sentimentalism.
i feel very european and sort of anatal
it is bad
some of my old friends and had babies and i wasn't that happy
what is with me
cannot be happy for anyone
i feel likke theyre just gonna go around fetishizing their own experience for 13 years then act like their kids never existed
i feel like it is all engineered and even the people that claim to be living by faith ..

Law school graduates have five attempts in five years to pass the exam. And under the current law, military service is the only exemption.
i hate myself for not being in korea ~
it's not even because i want to get married to a good person
other countries are just gonna be like, oh you want a law degree and a child better lean in and nothing is anyone's problem the rules are there to punish anyone who doesn't make themselves an exception, and the only evil in life is to give someone more than they gave you
i should just pray for all these people, i know there are some good gen z kids (both sexes). i don't know how to build a world for them. just baptize inna river inna wood and get beheaded by herod i guess
on a more positive note if you are like 15-30 years old reading this and you think you might want to move to korea
like you watched some film (not bts but films that have that subtle vibe, like take care of my cat) and thought what an interesting place
just do it but make sure you learn the language
they're all praying, they are intense but committed to non-violence
trying to build a new global family
don't even listen to trump, putin, don't listen to bernie either. don't listen to anyone who's not inviting you to join a war of love (love is not love)
