I just can’t function. Moral threats force me to rest for four hours for every one hour of work I do. There is no relief. Writing at home is comforting when it comes to protecting yourself from satan outside the home, but falls flat on it’s face when it comes to protecting yourself from satan from within the home. Let’s try to balance things out, then, and work equally at home and in the office, not for maximum peace, but for minimum suffering. Armchair advice, this is what home talk is, something that strengthens us from one side, and harms us from another. Is there a common thread to all this suffering? Nothing other than the fact that because we have to do chores that are none work related, we have to create an environment that is healthy for that, and that once that is completed, to create a moral environment that is healthy for work. I don’t know why I get these inhuman urges to sin, despite recognizing that such actions can only harm me. The only way to go back to equilibrium in such scenarios is to rest if work is the problem, and work if rest is the problem. Curse me, for I am human.
This is difficult. Years and years of suffering has made the possibilities of feeling peace, even in the absence of sources of agony, well nigh impossible. Am I doomed to be a prisoner of my emotions forever, unable to feel contentment because I am too busy obsessing over why I failed instead of promoting my future. I feel sad, because people have caused me inhuman harm, and simply ignoring that and living my life now is not easy, I just wanted to feel peace, and now that the possibility is here I ignore it and instead spend my time thinking as to why I have been prevented from feeling it in the past, something, which of course has no answer. All I can do is mourn, perhaps because peace is not really a fundamental human right, even though the pursuit of it is. I must remind myself that I am not strange in feeling this way, for at the end of a bloody war, who in an entire country can claim to feel immediate peace? Such a task is not human, and emotional wounds take time to heal. ...
