Creative projects I'm up to (ongoing thread):
Classic Gregorian chant:

Noble formation of the affections is critically important because this is exactly how most human action happens, even among those who think they are functioning rationally. So many mental gymnastics.

Lots of beauty still in the world. Most of the men like this aren't online much. They're busy being good men.
Long day.
Lights dimmed.
Baby cuddled.
Examen completed.
Night Prayers prayed.
“Lord now let your servant go in peace, your word has been fulfilled…”
A strong morning starts tonight brothers. Lay out your gym clothes and breviary, screens off and get to bed!
Going to sleep on time (when you are prudently able) is obedience to God’s design and trust in His providence.

A man must eradicate lust completely. Lust is the use of another being for personal pleasure. It has no place in the life of a man.

When a woman makes love but doesn’t feel loved, it wounds her psyche
And this has now happened on a nuclear scale to an entire generation

Watching my son collect plastic balls across the room must be what its like for God to watch me earning money

Joy does not simply happen to us.
We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.
Henri Nouwen
Or, rather, that the seemingly modest things are actually the massive things when we rearrange our sense of reality and the true value of things.
Our culture teaches so many of us that it is better to have massive expectations and be disappointed than to have modest expectations and be fulfilled.
It's not.
The fulfillment of modest expectations is the definition of a happy life.

Sometimes people just have to be helped surviving for a while before they can figure it out. There isn't always (often isn't) some grand solution. Life is complicated.
I think I've lived enough life by now to know platitudes are not adequate to real human suffering.
Sometimes all you have for people is: "I'm so sorry it's hard, and I'm here with you in it and think you're precious. Keep going. Next right step."

"Blackpilling" actively causes you to fail.
So the blackpiller is always correct.
I think blackpilling is basically a recreational drug
You can spend several hours reading about how unfavorable the world is to people of your age, sex, income, appearance, etc
By the time you’re finished you have a comprehensive explanation for why nothing in your life has worked out
Very soothing experience because none of the explanation requires you to have done anything differently

I wrote about shoplifting, but this also applies to cheating. Most of the people defending cheating have no real reason to do so except to justify their own desires. They live in a kaleidoscope of constructed values. Once the desire change, they just shake the kaleidoscopic and their entire value system reorients itself around the present whim. That's it. Any constructed argument is made post-hoc. They already decided they wanted to do it and had to come up with some half-assed justification to give themselves permission.
In other words: They've essentially got a little ugly orange haired monkey with their fist wrapped around their spinal cord, making them jerk around and use their advanced intelligence to come up with more and more sophisticated arguments, going so far as to write entire books and speak to sold out symposiums, as to why it's okay to wrench a banana out of someone's hands.
