It is by no means a recent fear of mine, but a very old one, the fear of winning honor from men at the price of sinning against God.

A lot of this comes down to poorer kids just not knowing what to do.

I didn't know that I had to apply for an internship in the WINTER of my sophomore year to get a sophomore summer internship to leverage into a junior summer internship to get a full-time offer senior year.

The Count of Monte Cristo is the perfect antidote to depressed and anxious individuals who, deep down revere and in fact celebrate their own psychological suffering, and find solace in the likes of Kafka and Woolf. It may not sit beside Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, or Proust, yet despite structured as a revenge thriller, it reaches into the conditions of human life with a scale and clarity which something many novels of the modernist era do not.

What is striking is that absolutely refused to romanticizes despair. Unlike the latter writers of the modernist era, whose entire life was shaped by the uncertainty of their place in the world due to the world war, Dumas does not narrow down the scope of the literature to speaking about the internal anxieties and depression. He does not treat his characters like those who has no part in the moral order.

Edmond Dante does not become interesting because he is anxious. He becomes powerful because he endures. His transformation is not an inward spiral but an outward construction. He studies, waits, prepares. Knowledge replaces despair, discipline replaces helplessness. Suffering is not an identity but a phase of becoming.

The book in short does not deny pain, but refuses to worship it. It suggests the human condition is not exhausted by insecurity and anxities. There remains the possibility of resurrection, of rebuilding oneself within a world that still possesses moral weight.

If we’re being honest, the U.S. has no moral integrity to decide which countries are “good” or “bad.” History keeps the receipts.

Loving your neighbor means you should be persistently inviting them to the faith.

Pope St. Kyrillos VI in his life never hid the truth in order to flatter anyone. He’d persistently invite people to return to the Orthodox Church even if it caused for awkwardness or discomfort.
