I thank God I'm an autistic hermit seeking Jesus and have no interest in women anymore.
This place is ending, and most are wasting their last moments and chance to glorify God in the face of adversity, to stop chasing temporal pleasures that pass away and focus on their eternal soul.
βIt would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.β
I'm at the age where contemplation of eternity and staying high is more important than getting laid. My outlook is more Buddhist than Christian, but Lewis is right.
I'd like to spend however many days remain in a one-bedroom shack in the NC mountains near good fishing, with room for a subsistence garden/truck patch.
Time's a wastin'! If it doesn't happen in the next 4 years, it never will.
