And look forward to the day it happens again

All very true, but depression is a rather irrational feeling.

I get that

I'm sure it's something I'll get over soon enough, but for now, it's rather crippling.

Like I don't get that sort of feel after a party or social outing, it's more during where I feel like I shouldn't be there and everyone there secretly hates me

That happens too.

The human mind can often be very irrational, but it's not just a matter of telling yourself to "get over it".

It that were the case, then said mind wouldn't be irrational.

I recall a sermon that my old parish priest gave.

He spoke about life being a wheel, which kept on spinning.

At the top of the wheel is tremendous happiness, and at the bottom is dreadful sadness.

If one were to run towards the top of the wheel to achieve tremendous happiness, they would soon find the wheel turning down to dreadful sadness (which, eventually, would turn to tremendous happiness again).

The moral of his sermon is that one should sit in the middle of the "wheel" as it were.

Which, of course, is a state of contentment.

It seems as if I had ran towards the top of the wheel lately, and now I am experiencing the inevitable turn towards the bottom.

Anyway, that's enough stonerposting from me tonight.

@vhozonian forgot to tell you about this video. I found it in yotube playlist.

@GodFearingEnglishman remember this? Yea I’m going through this

what are prayer ropes?

They're the eastern rite equivalent of a Rosary.

Huh interesting, I'll have to look into them more then

Just resist Orthodox heresies and you'll be fine.

Keep a picture of the Lamb of God, the Immaculate Heart, and the Assumption of Our Lady in your bedroom.

In the end, I could never become eastern rite. I love the culture of the counter-reformation too much.

I don't consider the Counter-revolution to be the be-all-and-end-all, personally.

I mean, adherents to the spirit of the counter-reformation aren't the only counter-revolutionaries.

I'm sure our brothers in the east are equally as opposed to the cultural revolution as we are.

Got an actual rose petal rosary from the vatican

Fuckkkkkkkk yea

Noice.

Noice

where did you get them from?

Have a rosary with a 3rd Class St. Padre Pio relic

From the vatican

@Mac tíre iarain same but I prefer Tridentine rite

@MrrMegaprayer ropes are like rosaries, but ny understanding is its like 50 our fathers and some opening and closing prayer.

No, 50 Jesus prayers.

"Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner."

Whilst 50 is the usual amount on a prayer rope, one is supposed to recite the prayer as often as is possible.
