The root of all sin is ignorance, not evil – you harm because you do not see, and no force of will fixes what only clearer sight can Almost everything you were taught about being good rests on one assumption: that you do wrong because some part of you is bad, and the cure is […]
The monster inside you was never a flaw to defeat – it’s the part of yourself you exiled, and the war you wage on it is exactly what keeps it monstrous There is something in you that you do not show anyone. A flash of rage that frightens you. A neediness you find pathetic. A […]
You don’t actually choose whom you love – your only real choice is what you do once the pull has already arrived Ask whether you chose whom you love, and the quick answer is yes – or at least that you could have consciously made that choice, that with a little more sense you would […]
