“Don’t act as if …”

Written: 2021-08-07

Often used to lecture someone that the world does not owe him anything; all the while the accuser wallows in fornication and earns six figures etc.

Listen, you blockheads! I do not even want to live! You can have it all — I do not care a single bit, it’s just that God forces one to live, otherwise I’d commit suicide to escape this madhouse the world is.

When will you imbeciles understand? I do not value the world, for it is wicked anyway, as taught by Holy Scripture (Galatians 1:4, 1 John 5:19).

Quoting Gómez Dávila again and again and again …

I would not live for even a fraction of a second if I stopped feeling the protection of God’s existence.

We only know how to carry ourselves with decency in front of the world when we know that we are owed nothing.
Without the pained grimace of a frustrated creditor.

The only man who thanks life for what it gives him is the man who does not expect everything from life.
