Even now the basic hostile response is not fully absent
Just diminished to apathy
This apathy defines the modern west and indeed the modern world
You see it most in young intelligent males
Who live in the most abstract world hence the absence of these basics in that realm makes them vegetables or libertarians
How to possibly change such a state of being though?
It's very ingrained
Health is immediately available as you cannot truly kill nature
What seems deeply ingrained
Is in many ways self chosen
When the disentanglement occurs change is rapid
Apathy seems to be at the root of all the other sicknesses
This is for general cases
Yeah. It is basically despair in a sense.
Not depression per se
Just giving up
Not in actions
But in the heart
No
“Whoever of you sees an evil must then change it with his hand. If he is not able to do so, then [he must change it ] with his tongue. And if he is not able to do so, then [he must change it] with his heart. And that is the slightest [effect of] faith.”
I remember talking about this in a group actually
Or something similar. Not openly voicing one's inner darkness
What is inner darkness
Perhaps some of what you call inner darkness
Is good. Light. Whatever
And some legitimately evil
Intentions decide
Remember nothing is evil
Except souls. Choices.
Because evil is a privation. Understand this.
Evil is un- or anti- good only
Not anything itself
Guarding the gaze, holding the tongue etc are ways to keep a lid one's potential for evil
Yeah, these are in context though
Sometimes the tongue needs to be loosed
Being tempted is not evil
Only the evil choice and action is the evil
If you are tempted and dont follow through
Its all good
This is necessary
