Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit Facebook and Instagram for 6 weeks

Depression dropped. Anxiety dropped. Happiness went up. Women under 25 on Instagram saw the biggest gains

That was 6 weeks. I'm going a full year.

When the Servant of God Marco Gallo died at the age of 17, he carried in his wallet a small image of the Virgin of Medjugorje, a childhood photo of himself eating a Nutella sandwich, five euros, and a handwritten note containing a “promise”:

“Today, I promise that—with immense desire and unwavering strength, as if this were the last day of my life and I were choosing to whom to dedicate my day and my life—I will open myself to the search for the Mystery, with discernment and respect for everything that reality places before me, even if it proves arduous. I depend only on the Mystery.”

An “ordinary” teenager who lived a short yet deeply meaningful life, Marco was passionate about sports and the mountains. He read the Bible daily, frequently received the sacraments, and was always ready to help those in need—especially those who were alone.

The gap between who you are and who you want to be is closed by what you do when you don't feel like it.

I was not overly familiar with Eric Dane’s work or him as a person, but I can’t help but be moved by his last words to his daughters. We never know what life will throw our way. Choose to be happy, love your family and friends, and trust in God.

Did you know C.S. Lewis predicted the modern obsession with “being nice” would destroy the soul?

In The Abolition of Man, Lewis argues that when a society stops believing in objective virtue, it doesn’t become tolerant… it becomes manipulable.

He calls the result “men without chests.”

People with appetites and intellects, but no courage, no honor, no trained moral instincts. They can calculate everything and defend nothing.

Lewis saw that once we reject inherited moral law, we don’t become free. We become raw material… easily shaped by propaganda, pleasure, and fear.

Modern man prides himself on compassion while quietly surrendering every standard that once gave compassion meaning.

Lewis’s insight is brutal: a civilization that educates clever cowards will eventually be ruled by tyrants or technicians.

Because when nothing is worth dying for, everything becomes negotiable… including human dignity.

Living on love is banishing every fear - every memory of past faults. I see no imprint of my sins. In a moment, love has burned everything.
