For the most part, you don’t get anything for your feelings; no one is entitled to anything for having them; yet emotions make a difference. For having emotions, you get even more complex feelings. For example,
There is such a thing as a healthy fear; you should be afraid of objects that are sharp, hot or attached to spinning motors because they can hurt you. You also need fear to feel emotions that are more complex such as awe and respect. Comparably, there is such a thing as a healthy-disgust, you should be disgusted by anything that can contaminate or make you sick, such as needles, spoiled food, fecal matter, nudity and the sight of coitus. Without a healthy sense of disgust one is already deprived of an important barrier for protecting their dignity; one is already desensitized. Such a depraved person needs God to change, they also need to be able to feel some remorse, perhaps even disgust with themselves for callously engaging in behavior that deprives themselves of their dignity in the first place. Whenever such a person is inclined to drink, smoke or otherwise engage in vice they should remember that someone somewhere is disgusted by those things; go ahead and listen to the voice of your inner child saying, “Eww!”
Do you remember when you were a little kid and adults reeked to their guts of coffee? It was disgusting!
Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passion of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.
Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Fires are not extinguished by more fuel,
Let no on say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. The desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
And this is also a relevant argument concerning hate itself. Hate itself should disgust you. Per Se should disgust you. The thought of your neighbors profiling each other and trading such profiles for the sake of human traffick should disgust you. The simplest argument for explaining what is wrong with something as controversial as pornography is how many viewers cannot figure out what's wrong with it; because they are already desensitized having overcome any innate disgust for sex and nudity. It's the same with profiling another whether that's with debt, a criminal record, or for their sexuality. Man is not supposed to be the subject of profiling because he is already the subject of the lord.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen
Something kinda sad about
The way that things have come to be
Desensitized to everything
What became of subtlety?
How can this mean anything to me
If I really don't feel anything at all?
