Addiction? I'd say it's more likeFEAR.

The fear of the Lord is true wisdom; to forsake evil is real understanding.

Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

>>8970070

Don’t be afraid, forI am with you.

Don’t be discouraged, forI am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you.

I will hold you up with myvictoriousright hand.

See, all your angry enemies lie there,

confused and humiliated.

Anyone who opposes you will die

and come to nothing.

See? Doesn't that read better? NLT.

I don'tneedfear of punishment to do the right thing.

I congratulate you on your independent mind and will.

I don't have a grand scheme, my fren.God does.

In my opinion, there is something more to this fractal dimensional Universe, andlife, than just random happenstance.

But that's just my opinion. God bless on your journey.

>>8970123

Believe me, I don't find myself cravingfearof an infinite dimensional God being of unknown origin. I'd much rather not have to think about that. I've never been jonesing for some of that sweet sweetEternal Damnationexistential pressure.

I personally feelNLTis much better suited for being read aloud in the modern world, asGod's Wordwas intended.

Luke 6:27-36 New Living Translation (NLT)

Love for Enemies

But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back. Do to others as you would like them to do to you.

If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them! And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much! And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, why should you get credit? Even sinners will lend to other sinners for a full return.

Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked. You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.

——–

And so comes the final boss. Can(You)love your enemies?

I kindly reject, but have the next best thing.

Beware that, when fighting monsters,you yourself do not become a monster…for when you gaze long into the abyss…

The abyss gazes also into you.

It's like in the great stories.

The ones thatreallymattered.

Full of darkness and danger they were,

and sometimes you didn't want to know the end.

Because how could the end be happy?

How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened?

But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.

Even darkness must pass.

A new daywillcome.

And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.

Those were the stories that stayed with you.

Thatmeantsomething.

Even if you were too small to understand why.

But I think I do understand.

I know now.

Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back,only they didn’t.

Because they were holding on tosomething.

What were they holding on to?

That there’s some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.

Our co-creative group consciousness has the power to manifest anything into being.

Therefore, we must keep our thoughts onpeace, compassion, and forgiveness for all beings.
