Want me to send you what I've written?
We need a new society that takes base on how our ancestors knew how to moderate themselves on what goods where produced and such.
I certainly would friend.
Thanks brother
Btw sort of a theological doubt that has arisen as i read you.
I do in my just anger repel the modern women and their habits that are certainly the way of the lost.
But i think that as much as i can criticize people, it makes no good if i don't pray for them as well.
I agree
It is Christ only who knows one's ends
One must not despair over anyone or anything
So, for example during lent or during the sacerd days, in our fasts and in the midst of our prayers, can we ask for the intercesion of a particular saint, i.e. in this case, St Mary of Egypt for the souls and conversions of them? like, i know we orthodox do not share the idea of offering sufferings to atone for others, but we are asking God to lead them, so, considering those are sacred days, dedicating part of our prayers for this intention i feel it would be on spot, i believe lust is one of the most prominent passions and sins in our days, and we really need to work on that.
Would it be advisable if i arrange a set of prayers during the sacred days for this intention with the particular intercession of this saint?
Yes
I should maybe include that we have become sheep without a shepherd and have thus become swine
We have intended to become shepherds ourselves i'd say but your is good too.
Or maybe even both.
So far i'm liking what i'm reading.
Thank you
Sure, i really encourage you to keep working on this, i can see that indeed these are words the world needs and not only more "traditional babbling" indeed, as an attack on excesive consimism for example, not only we desecrate the legacy of nature that God confided in us, but imagine the day where secularism as a dominance starts to turn our churches into more centers of production.
Surely, great work right there, don't feel afraid to share as you make progress.
Thanks
Should I focus on problems with modernity or should focus on how to abandon the modern world and regain paradise?
Both are key, again through consumerism and how modernity has been perverted with the desperate notion of progress, for the sake of progress and scientificism, we have corrupted the very same concept and made a lot of damage.
Then you can lead it on why it's necesary to abandon it.
To work on how would be a more extense work i'd say.
These topics seem like a book deserving work if you ask me.
But you can treat it as a blog too, in such case you can try to make a little resume.
But still it's key you connect the dots.
Or maybe i just feel like that because i'm a historian, and my mindset is kind of like that.
Things that i like and are deep are something i plan to put in a book some day.
Refutations on islam, apologetics to the church, etc.
And social issues i'm treating them in the form of a novel, that has quite some strong stuff but it's intended to show the true perversion we have suffered and that we suffer because as you mention it very well, we are born slaves of this condition.
yeah I'm worried that I'd be going into too dark/borderline edgelord territory
but as it turns out we live in a society
(regarding writing)
Degeneracy has always existed but there was a time where most people upheld the idea of repulsing it.
Nowdays degeneracy is the rule and most people hold the idea of spreading it, and repulsing all that is good.
Oh boi, Chuuni and Vera are the same person?
Negative
Oh, i thought so for a minute.
well
we're all in the same body
So perhaps that's where the confusion came in
Lmao.
