Pleasure

“Anything that refreshes you without diminishing, distracting or destroying the final goal is a legitimate pleasure. Any pleasure that jeopardizes the sacred right of another is an illegitimate pleasure. Any pleasure no matter how good if not kept in balance will distort reality or destroy appetite. All pleasure is bought with a price; for the legitimate pleasure you pay before partaking; for the illegitimate you pay after partaking.” -RZ

Sin

“Whatever weakens your reasoning, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God or takes away your relish for
spiritual things in short if anything increases the power and authority of the flesh over the spirit that to you become sin however good in itself.” – SW

 

Kingdom of Heaven

A King may move a man, a father may claim a son, but remember that even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God, you cannot say, “But I was told by others to do thus.” Or that, “Virtue was not convenient at the time.” This will not suffice. Remember that.

Peace of Mind

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.” but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.  I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.  My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.”

Too true

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is…his good, pleasing and perfect will.

The problem is that this whole idea is predicated on several problematic assumptions. Among them are that:

1. Women never hit anyone, including men.

2. Hitting women is somehow worse than any other forms of unilateral violence (e.g., women hitting men, men hitting weaker men, or adults hitting children).

3. Women never provoke men, with inflammatory actions that while not violence per se are designed to elicit a reaction, humiliate them, or destroy their possessions (e.g., smash their car).

4. Hitting a woman immediately renders all of the prior circumstances irrelevant.

5. Mutual fights between women and men are impossible.

We are definitely living in a society full of sissified men, glad I am not one of them. Cheers!
