We need to work at least a bit hard 08 Aug 2012 08:47 #143139

Hey Guys,

My recent falls have just reminded me something Guard told me a long time ago. We're in this world to work and to correct our bad character traits. Working on sexual lust is the biggest challenge a man faces. If we don't choose to do a bit of work by guarding our eyes, our thoughts and not wasting seed, then we will serve our enemies through BITTERNESS instead.

If it's not being humiliated by our friends, family and enemies through our own weakness and failure, then it means slavery to our own lusts. There's nothing more bitter than the feeling of regret - in the full knowledge that we could have been better men and achieved so much more but chose to give in to a few seconds of pleasure that always leaves us feeling weak and empty afterwards anyway.

So let's look to today and do things right one day at a time! :D ;D 8)

Another thing I've thought of relating to our struggle. By working hard we may become rich and successful in life, but by being lazy we can guarantee we'll never get anywhere. The same goes for guarding the eyes. We generally won't fall if we're careful with what we look at, but if we're careless it's only a matter of time before we're faced with a test we just can't pass.

The opposite of addiction is not sobriety, it’s connection
