Something I learned from René Girard, which has always stuck with me, is that the Crucifixion was a "trap" set for Satan.

When you think of it as a genius plot to tempt Evil into abolishing itself, the logic is really illuminated and its coherence becomes hard to deny. 🧵

Productivity shame involves the feeling that you aren’t allowed to do things that are unproductive. As a result, you feel guilty when you spend time on hobbies, watch a movie, or simply sit back and relax.
