- 04:53 AM - Monday - 2019-01-28 - While sleeping, I was wrestling over principles for a better life. Too often, we can take things out of context. You can say that an action is not sin, criminal, bad, negative, because it's isolated. I could counter argue and say it's sin because it's isolated. I can throw it back at you. There is reason for that. Take masturbation for example. Is it good or bad? See what I wrote, above. You can say it's isolated, therefore neutral or not bad. I could say that's the problem. If you covet something that is not yours, then you are in the wrong place. You are violating a system that works better. There are many reasons for that. Look at the Ten Commandments. It's important to look at why they are there. You can say it's not coveting because it's free or given away or whatever. But you're looking at it in an isolated perspective instead of a comprehensive approach or outlook towards seeing the whole picture. Things are symbolic. An action is partly symbolic, even when isolated. When you lust and pretend to be doing something you are not actually doing, you trick yourself in that isolation. Your thoughts are symbolic of real actions. You miss out in your character development, your story arch. You can do whatever you want, but you are missing out on a wholistic or holistic understanding and approach to better life. That's the thing about these rules, guidelines, laws, found in the Bible. You don't have to be religious to appreciate discipline and the benefits of not being too lazy. There is so much there. You can weaken yourself. So, never again. Since like 1997 or 1998. So, this is it. There are so many benefits to discipline, to and for eternal perspective. The rules are there to help and not to hurt. I choose to believe in that. You can decide what kind of person you want to be. Why not go with what has been working for centuries? The problem with porn is that it mocks marriage, which is an institution that God gave the first two humans, the first male, Adam, and the first female, Eve. That is partly why pornography is free online, offline, in many cases, globally, because Satan is attacking a very good thing. There seems to be a prohibition on sex outside of marriage, and that is why the black market of sexual intercourse out of marriage is everywhere. It is because sex is great but only within the context of marriage. Outside of it, you are left wanting more and never happy. I should probably write a book about it. There are, again, so many reasons and so many benefits for these things, for all of these things. It's vital to remind yourself and others what you stand for. If you don't, you'll fall again and again in the face of what you believe and what you compromise on. If you want a consistent life, then discover what you believe, find out what you care about, what you believe in, and write them down. Remind yourself daily of those core beliefs. When you are about to violate your beliefs, tell yourself what you believe out loud. Stand up and sing a song about it. Smile in that confidence and continue on, even if you are sleeping, talk about it with yourself and with others. Pray about it, and keep a journal on it. Always go back to the heart and root of it all, of the issues of what you believe and want in life. Please stand and rest on those promises and beliefs and core values, no matter what and pray for that wisdom, that strength, to continue in being what you want to be. Also remind yourself of the consequences for going against eternal principles. What we believe is one thing and what works is another issue all together. That is why we should believe in what works, objectively speaking. Otherwise, we will suffer the consequences of violating eternal principles. You can believe what you want, but you will suffer if you violate eternal principles that are universal and eternal and absolute and objective and just and perfect.
