Longing: A lonely heart can be filled by someone, but a longing heart is a heart that cannot be filled by ‘the particular person.’ When the mind feels strange, it is important to first determine whether the feeling stems from a lack of self-generated needs or from not being filled by the object of longing. Loneliness can progress easily, but longing carries a high risk of self-destruction if not handled carefully. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Sin starts with fear and ends with courage. It then repeats with ease and profit. When sins are repeated, people become desensitized to the harm caused to others and even employ convincing logic that justifies the sinner’s morals. Unfortunately, humans are pretty inventive when it comes to sin. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
