if you feel great pain, accept it and do nothing else

2017-04-08 15:24:15 UTC  

never think badly about anyone

2017-04-08 15:24:24 UTC  

become baby jesus essentially

2017-04-08 15:24:36 UTC  

Jesus is not like that though

2017-04-08 15:24:44 UTC  

in the end times Jesus is going to come back and kill anyone who sucks

2017-04-08 15:24:48 UTC  

sure, just as an example I mean

2017-04-08 15:24:54 UTC  

be a truly innocent soul

2017-04-08 15:25:02 UTC  

i.e. fake it or whatever, force yourself to do that

2017-04-08 15:25:26 UTC  

become weak, a shmuck etc.

2017-04-08 15:25:28 UTC  

plagues, wars, poisoning the oceans, locusts, then coming out of heaven with a flaming sword and an angelic army to murder anyone still alive who sucks at all

2017-04-08 15:25:30 UTC  

no

2017-04-08 15:25:35 UTC  

I would rather be like Jesus than do that

2017-04-08 15:25:47 UTC  

it's an exercize really, you dont end up weak

2017-04-08 15:25:56 UTC  

the point is you break past your issues and become truly strong

2017-04-08 15:26:04 UTC  

rather than just evil

2017-04-08 15:26:08 UTC  

what does strength mean

2017-04-08 15:26:18 UTC  

not trying to "deconstruct," just be clear

2017-04-08 15:26:40 UTC  

I would say it means two things together, corresponding with inner and outer nature

2017-04-08 15:26:52 UTC  

the strength to overcome, and the strength to subsume/accept

2017-04-08 15:27:02 UTC  

without one, the other becomes meaningless

2017-04-08 15:27:09 UTC  

so truth and love together, is strength

2017-04-08 15:27:32 UTC  

the strength to overcome on its own can even be a kind of weakness

2017-04-08 15:27:36 UTC  

like a bully beating on schoolkids

2017-04-08 15:27:44 UTC  

the strength to accept can also be weakness

2017-04-08 15:27:50 UTC  

calmly watching the world go by, never acting

2017-04-08 15:28:06 UTC  

but both I think is true strength

2017-04-08 15:28:36 UTC  

I think a big part of the reason I am this way is that in my current life stage there is nothing I desire at all

2017-04-08 15:28:49 UTC  

there is no way to recombine the elements of my day to day life in a way that is at all pleasing to me

2017-04-08 15:29:03 UTC  

it's a fundamentally futile endeavour anyway

2017-04-08 15:29:10 UTC  

to mix and match

2017-04-08 15:29:29 UTC  

there is no scenario I can concoct in which commute, dress clothes, coworkers, boss, paperwork etc. becomes an enjoyable and fulfilling experience

2017-04-08 15:29:39 UTC  

you can't know what you really want when you're so focused on hiding from some discomfort

2017-04-08 15:29:44 UTC  

or dealing with some discomfort

2017-04-08 15:29:46 UTC  

therefore I do not even try and just become cycnical while scrambling for the exit

2017-04-08 15:30:00 UTC  

the #1 thing I want is no job

2017-04-08 15:30:08 UTC  

I'm not sure that would be fulfilling either

2017-04-08 15:30:10 UTC  

even if I have to eat nothing but lentils and sleep on bare plywood

2017-04-08 15:30:16 UTC  

in itself no, it will not

2017-04-08 15:30:21 UTC  

someone who is fulfilled is that way, to an extent, regardless of circumstance

2017-04-08 15:30:25 UTC  

but unlike job life it will let me be free to seek fulfillment

2017-04-08 15:30:49 UTC  

the party is still BYOB, but with a job I am not even invited to the party at all
