@_Momologues_ From Fidelity press - the Moderns trilogy covers architecture, music and liberal arts. Dangers of Beauty on art. Ballet Parking might have a lot of appeal to a young lady. Logos Rising is a tour of history, philosophy and theology.
@SherryLuvsIdaho Justice is ultimately God’s and in His way. To despair weakens our resolve to follow Him.
This is why they mock Goodness.
It is good and right to champion justice. Speak the truth but do not despair.
Pray for your enemies. That they see the error and darkness they are in.
@SherryLuvsIdaho We must remember there is always suffering and evil in this fallen world.
God allows these things to bring about the greater Good. When we learn to overcome despair and fill ourselves with hope in Him we become, in our small, insignificant way, part of His plan for the Good!
@_Momologues_ Stories are important. They expand our understanding and shape us.
This video comes to my mind -

I think its quite common now that women are kept in this padded room/bubble, never developing and experiencing life.
NEW: Woman who claims she “never wanted kids” holds a baby for the first time… and suddenly decides she wants one immediately.
“Oh my, I need to have a kid.”
I’m convinced the Feminist movement would disappear if every woman had the opportunity to hold a child.
There is no greater gift.

@_Momologues_ If we ask what draws us to stories and why we tell them (today we think it as “entertainment”) they are really important.
Where are stories of motherhood told for the young?
Can we know the story of our Lord without the story of our Lady’s flight to Egypt and the nativity?
@daydream42581@_Momologues_ Men prefer stories about conflict and expansive meaningful events.
Women tend to enjoy human drama.
Neither is the default. You’re projecting ideological beliefs.
When you desex the “human experience” is when it ceases to be human!
@_Momologues_ Chick lit seems oriented to relationship drama.
Men care about adventure. Thinking about how the world works.
I think men can relate to women characters just as well. Just the scope of what makes a story follows different paths.
@gl0wing5@mikecavmusic The big narrative from big tech H1Bs down to trades/ag is “merit.”
“Nobody works hard like immigrants!”
It is sleight of hand. They are the ones asking for corporate welfare.
They don’t want play by the rules so cheat and cut corners - ultimately at everyone else’s expense.
@MustardFren@mikecavmusic There’s a type. They just gotta gotta have their slave labor so they can buy their 120k vanity trucks every couple years.
One of the first things out their mouths is “ain’t nobody wants to work anymore.”
Big whiners trying to compensate for a guilty conscience.
@botnamedJoel@dfranconiaridge@mikecavmusic That’s much less a factor for the construction world. Policy makers (and the lenders that control them) at least have the sense to not kill the golden goose that is real estate markets.
I think it is a moreso a lot of those contractors are up to their eyeballs in debt.
@dfranconiaridge@mikecavmusic The problem is it becomes a race to the bottom. The scumbags that cut corners and undercut and drives out the honest ones.
@EMichaelJones1@CultureWarsMag The etymology of stumble (Greek skandalon from which scandal is derived) is instructive as it could mean a stumbling stone.
I picture their heads in the middle of the millstone which would be quite large like a necklace thought not many modern people would encounter one.
The best thing you will hear today! 🔥
Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1 Prelude… played on a flat-top acoustic guitar with hybrid picking.
This is pure magic. So delicate, so precise, and so full of emotion. The fact that it was written for cello and sounds this good on steel strings is wild.
@pngcartell@Etanarachel I think there is the initial pathos that opens the door to whoring.
And then there is the drive to rationalize it. If hot kinky sex was "positive," what is the ideology there for?
"My own burning conscience won't shut up and I need to find a justification for it."
@TanneriteCortez The post-war generations stood by and normalized divorce, pornography, abortion and fornication.
But preach brimstone and hellfire at a hint of what they were trained to see as “racism.”
Did civil rights become some moral high ground and a way to suppress a guilty conscience?
@PubWanghaf There is a historical process here.
An unrepentant generation that normalized abortion, fornication, contraception, divorce and porn.
Now they want worldly reward via virtue signaling to suppress their guilty conscience.
@DoDeportations The legacy of unrepentant boomers that used the civil rights movements to mask their guilty conscience.
The generation that were told how moral they are for destroying their patrimony! Yet stood by while pornography, abortion, divorce and contraception were normalized.
@Krystakitkat92 Amish do not follow the pattern of going into debt, delaying family to build a career - having children in their 30s and putting kids into daycare.
