I don't share this for any inherent benefit, other than for how enjoyable and nice connecting about topics with curious people are. Who knows? It might spark your curiosity or you may learn a thing or two.

I wanted to make a padlet related to Savannah Brown, Mari, Jonas Luskey and those other YouTubers that tell their thoughts. I wanted to because I personally find journaling to be really fun and enjoyable, so this is mainly for my own enjoyment hehe.

Although remember to take things with a grain of salt, as I have always understood that I was never an expert at these subjects. I never thought myself as that smart, so I never gave myself full authority to judge these notions (just giving my thoughts and purviews). Expect it all to be some pseudo-version of it all. I'm only the person that consumed their mediums. This is my 2nd journal, since the first journal was quite rough.

The journal will be structured into trilogies, and those trilogies will have a predominant theme within them --that will then be sorted into sections based on that predominant theme.

The themes having a specific color, and those colors being the following:

The pink ones are about perception, our internal battle for meaning --think axiology, ethics, psychology, literature, art, etc.

The purple ones are about humanity, basically things that highlight the stories of humans/human narrative, and what I think it means to me. Think history, anthropology, political idealisms/idealogies (parts of political science), sociology, and narrative true-to-life stories.

The blue ones are about concepts. Specifically they're models of structural behaviors in metaphysics; or epistemology; or diagrams that I made to better understand miscellaneous concepts.

The yellow ones are about one thing: theology. It's all based on my personal faith journey, as my mom would've wanted me to.

I used to normally browse through Wikipedia and kiwix all day (queue Henry Cavill getting disgusted), which often results into a rabbit hole of looking through academic papers/books. Think google scholar, internet archive, philpapers, scihub, research gate, semantic scholar, the works. So this padlet is a good way to mark up random things I've learned and will learn.

I also make mistakes in my thoughts process and that's okay, we're all human after all.

P.S.

If you find an em dash going like " --"/"-- ", know it's my em dash inspired by how Stan Lee made em-dashes. It just adds a bit of personality <:3

Instead, they say "Men seni zhaqsy köremin (Мен сені жақсы көремін)", which literally translates to "I see you clearly for who you are". That's how they say "I love you", by saying "I see you well".

Seeing of course, is not really "knowing"--since it can be subconscious as well as dynamic of truth. "Pag-intindi" is different to "pag-alam". This of course, is in accordance to matters such as: relative and absolute truths.

Some truths can only exist within your own very perception, some truths need to be considered outside of our own biases.

That's how I see understanding in this entry: the subconscious and dynamic orientation, perception, and acknowledgement of another person or thing's reality. Where one uses cognition to define reality through concepts, and the dynamic nature of those concepts' truths.

That aligns with the definition it alone: A cognitive process related to an abstract or physical object, such as a person, situation, or message whereby one is able to use concepts to model that object's actuality-- or the very least one's perception of an object and how it's modelled.

Misunderstanding can split love apart. Passion, desire, habit, infatuation, care, admiration, fondness, lust, liking, yearning, thrill--these can masquerade as love, but they are not love and never will be. Understanding can spring these into existence, but they're not fundamental to it, unlike love.

Passion relates to intensity; love relates to truth. It is situational and dependent on emotional arousal. You feel passion when excitement, meaning, or intensity is present. When intensity fades, passion fades. Passion addresses how strongly something is felt. Love responds to who and what is there-- even when feeling weakens, or lies dormant, or isn't present within that very moment.

Desire relates to taking and manifesting; love relates to recognition. It is conditional on wanting, needing, and attraction. You desire someone when they represent something you want to obtain, or something you want to happen. When the taking or manifesting is satisfied or disappears, desire changes or ends. Desire addresses what is wanted. Love responds to who and what the person is, not what they fill.

Habit relates to repetition; love relates to choice. It is sustained by time and routine rather than awareness. You remain through habit when patterns persist without reflection. When routines break, habit dissolves. Habit addresses continuity. Love responds to deliberate consistency, only within that very light of reality of who and what they are.

Infatuation relates to idealization; love relates to actuality. It is conditional on idealization and projection. You are infatuated when a person matches the most intriguing and fascinating version. When complexity intrudes, infatuation collapses. Infatuation addresses the ease of the most radicalized version of a person's greatest version. Love responds to the person as they truly are: complex, and like smoke --never in their best state. It is quite literally, their reality in full.

Care relates to acting on needs; love relates to being. It is situational and conditional on circumstance. You care for someone when you want to cater and nurture to something you can and want to do, and to enact upon that support. When the need changes, the expression of care changes. Care addresses what must be done, or what you want done for someone. Love responds to who and what the person is, even without anything you want or need to cater towards.

Admiration relates to qualities; love relates to the whole. It is conditional on excellence, virtue, or traits. You admire someone for what stands out. When those qualities fade, surpassed, or muted, admiration shifts. Admiration addresses parts. Love responds to their wholeness. Love orients and caters to them for who and what they are-- even when they're flawed, and not just a portion of their reality.

Fondness relates to comfort; love relates to depth. It is situational and emotionally gentle. You feel fondness when someone is familiar, pleasant, or safe. When closeness or familiarity diminishes, fondness wanes. Fondness addresses ease. Love responds to reality that they will become difficult, and accepts their reality even if they are.

Lust relates to the body; love relates to personhood. It is conditional on physical appetite and stimulation. You feel lust when desire is aroused. When stimulation ends, lust ends. Lust addresses sensation. Love responds to the other as a whole human being, not a means.

Liking relates to enjoyment, love relates to orientation. Love relates itself to a person's understanding to another with its basis in actuality. Liking is based in feeling, thus it's based on oneself; loving is based in understanding, thus it's based on another and how much another means to oneself-- and it's reflecting back to oneself.

Yearning relates to the longing, love relates to the status quo. Yearning relates to orientation and projection directed to who or what was once there, or who you want to be with you. Love should relate to who and what they are as of this moment. Because you should love them; not who they were, where they are when they're only with you, or what once was.

Thrill relates to novelty; love relates to endurance. It is dependent on excitement, risk, or newness. You feel thrill when something surprises or stimulates. When novelty fades, thrill disappears. Thrill addresses peaks. Love responds across time, including truth of another's ordinariness.

There are things about the others which it relates to, that breaks the inherent need of truth of a person to fundamentally exist. It can break reality and truth, or that to which is understood of a person, but can remain existing.

These are like driving, just because you don't understand why you're driving doesn't mean you didn't drive. Just because you don't understand why there's pain, doesn't mean you didn't feel it. Although love isn't JUST an internal moral consensus or physical feeling. Love is based in knowledge or understanding, because love requires a relational anchor point; like a bridge with two colliding points.

If I love an "idea" of you, I am not loving you; I am loving the way you make me feel. I am using you as a mirror. To truly love another, I must acknowledge that you are a separate entity with a reality independent of my desires.

To love someone without understanding their reality is like trying to appreciate a symphony while being deaf. You might see the conductor's arms moving (the actions/care) and you might feel the vibration in the floor (the passion), but you are missing the essence of the music.

If care is "I see something that I can and want to do, to act for your own good"; if liking is "I see this thing makes me feel a good sense of enjoyment"; and if lust is "I see something that sexually stimulates me"... then love is "I see you clearly for who and what you are, and I will continue to choose and cherish you for it".

Because love itself binds to who is, and exists merely to that person's truth.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

⁴ Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant ⁵ or rude.

It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; ⁶ it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

⁷ Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

There have been several billions, upon billions, and even more billions of relationships that are happy, that are secured, or has lasted until the pair has died (not just romantic relationships).

All encapsulated within dozens of billions of the 117 billion people that has lived and died within the history of this world.

This verse highlights what perfect love is about, and how to love someone properly. Even though we are all imperfect beings, and we all fail to love properly, it's best to still fight for loving properly.

Because every single fathomable thing in existence, and will exist needs rules to be done correctly. Let's break this down.

1. Love is patient and kind.

Whenever a problem arises, patience comes with both parties working together earnestly. Taking both of each other's time to bear with one another, with endurance in time and effort, calmly.

You are never supposed to be enemies with problems. This isn't about you vs. them, but you AND them vs. problems, differences, and discrepancies.

Each person being able to cater to the problem at hand and discuss things, all with attentiveness and ability to wait.

Love is about finding a sense of modesty, and true concern for the person you're loving. With both parties fully giving their appreciation and genuine sincerity with each another.

Ephesians 4:2-3

² With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, ³ eager to maintain the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.

2. Love is not arrogant or rude, and it does not insist on its own way.

   
   

Some versions translate this as "prideful" or "boastful". In short it's about putting a greater amount of significance to other factors and people, and as a result it tarnishes the value of one thing unnecessarily or unfairly. It doesn't take advantage nor does it let something be ruined.

Putting something improperly to circumstances of high importance, or other things such as people.

As a result you become blind sighted of a virtue that is found in love: humility.

A virtue of giving up trying to gloat your own significance and intentions, and pursue something also of great importance and significance.

One way to pursue this: is to simply not think of yourself first, and think of them first. Only do this when they're only thinking of you first, too. That goes for all sides, even yours. It is called selflessness and awareness.

It never insists on a way that damages the significance of the person you're loving, or something refined or greater for one's own selfishness.

It doesn't gloat. It doesn't let go of the significance of other things for the sake of oneself, especially the significance of the person you're loving.

This goes for ALL sides, all at the SAME time, and there are almost never any exceptions. To where every single side, every single time, forever having both sides being successfully catered to without there being a need of any inherent superiority (just the occasional superiority of authority).

Proverbs 11:2

² When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

3. Love is not irritable or resentful.

   
   

Sure they make mistakes, and you'll probably want to get mad at them for their mistakes.

Although self-control and emotional intelligence is vital with love. If you've ever had a hard time controlling your anger or distain, then learn to hone certain practices and norms that circumnavigate the discrepancies between you.

Do not be easily angered, learn to have self-control.

Even if you do get mad, do it as an act of care or attentiveness. Make sure that when you're mad, don't spite them with wrath or hate, but for the care or attentiveness you have over them and the integrity of your relationship.

Ecclesiastes 7:9

⁹ Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.

Proverbs 29:22

²² An angry person stirs up conflict, and a hot tempered person commits many sins.

4. It does not rejoice with wrongdoing.

Love is one of those things that under the right set of guidelines, will prosper and flourish with exceptional quality. It is an amazing experience, one of pure adoration for what the person's entirety is.

It values justice and integrity of people, and the greatest good. It doesn't try to do anything that will make the other be in a sour place, for the sake of one's own cruelty. It never tries to be unjust or unfair. It doesn't make someone get into a more ruinous state unjustly.

No matter what happens, never inflict wrongdoing to someone you love.

Proverbs 21:21

²¹ Whoever pursues righteousness and goodness will find life and honor.

5. It rejoices with the truth.

Rejoice in the openness, safety, and security of an honest relationship. One where both parties conform to the truth. Where there are no dishonesty, and no lies.

Where both rejoice under the name of understanding. When arguments come, be mature enough to cooperate with them into learning the truth. Be good enough to listen and come into an understanding on both fronts.

3 John 1:8

⁸ and we ought to therefore show hospitality to such people, so that we may be able to work together for the truth.

6. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

   
   

Love knows how special it can be, so it always tries to make due with keeping it alive because of how worth it this really is.

Love doesn't give up easily, love fights for love. Never even gets bothered for fighting for it.

It forgives when it has to. It believes because it knows that whenever it thinks it can or can not work, then both become right according to what they believe.

2 Corinthians 4:8-10

⁸ We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; ⁹ persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

BONUS VERSE: 1 John 4:18

¹⁸ There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

It is one built on trust, without anxiety or fear; it is fully encased in security. Not that you should be forced to do so, it's just that it should come naturally from the care and nurture of such relationship.

AND SOMETHING EXTRA:

1 Corinthians 13:8-10

⁸ Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge it will pass away.

¹⁰ For we know in part and we prophecy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away

7. Love that is made right, never ends; when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away

Not all relationships will work out, and we all have our own reasons. Although love that is made right, never ends.

When the perfect --or rather the best one comes-- it is always around, always shining, always triumphing. So do not dwell in what happened before, for there is more to come. One where all the rules I said before were honored in grace.

Isaiah 43:18

Forget the things that was before; do not dwell in the past. For look, I am making something new, do you not perceive it?

Now I'm just an agnostic (due to Thomas Aquinas and his "second way" in the principles of causality).

We know Buddha was a real historical figure, and we have his grave and body; we know Muhammad was a real historical figure, and we have his grave and body; nobody doubts them to have existed, those who do are just foolish or uninformed people taking away the evidence of the existence of these accounts.

If you account the correlations between the historical basis of these people's lives, with the historical basis of the events at the time, alongside the totality of it until their death: you'd realize that all of them were genuinely real.

Although just because you're a historical figure with mythical stories tied to you, doesn't mean those mythical stories actually happened. You can exist without having magic associated with you.

The overwhelming, vast majority of all historians, believe Jesus to have been a real person-- basically almost all of them at this point. Even if there is no proof. Whether atheist, agnostic, or theist --all of them devoted decades studying anthropological science, history, and philosophy to come up with the conclusion: that the argument for Jesus' historicity is the most historically plausible.

Every other fathomable argument that denies Jesus' existence, has been debunked by the overwhelming majority of atheistic and agnostic scholars. Basically nobody doubts Jesus existed.

From the most dedicated philosophers who understands basic pragmatism, yet can comprehend the awfully complicated Hegel & Kant --and have expanded decades of understanding upon them.

To the smartest historians who devote all their life studying ancient languages with hilariously complex decoding techniques, and have advanced philosophical theorems on what to deem as "historical" and "historical fallacies".

These are some of the smartest people in their field, all of them affirm that Jesus was a real historical figure. They didn't even overcomplicate it, if you read debates on academic texts you know how one sided it is with Jesus' historicity.

Even if there is any new suspicion of Jesus being a myth, the following has to be taken account of: it has to stand up against 200 years of rigorous research and studying (and one-sided debates in favour of Jesus' existence), as well as 2,026 years of militant defence within Christian theology.

You also have to take account hundreds of century/millennia-tested arguments that say Jesus was a real dude, against only a few dozen suspicions against Jesus with only surface level knowledge (like mindless googling for a few hours).

All of which I barely have any item space to fit into this padlet post.

"Mythicism is criticized on numerous grounds such as commonly being advocated by non-experts or poor scholarship, being ideologically driven, its reliance on arguments from silence, lacking positive evidence, the dismissal or distortion of sources, questionable or outdated methodologies, either no explanation or wild explanations of origins of Christian belief and early churches, and outdated comparisons with mythology."

- Summary of Bart Ehrman, Maurice Casey, Robert Van Voorst, and Graeme Clarke

If you're a mysthicist, chances are you're a non-expert or a disrespected scholar of the field.

To be loved and to be loved more, is to have your understanding strengthened through: regard, appreciation, determination, respect, and honor (the value tenets). Imma expand upon those tenets later on what they mean for love. For now let's set the basis for the value tenets.

They're part of it because love's inherent need of perceived reality. The value tenets has the strongest relational bond for love.

These are the strongest contenders for love's relation, and is included also for their need of perceived reality. This translates into the outcome tenets. The outcome tenets being: care, infliction of worth, protection of integrity, passion, and emotional bond.

The value tenets don't break the "manifestation essence" of love, because they are translations from the initial need of understanding from love. Love isn't just understanding or those specific tenets, it's a unification of three beautiful sets of factors that are translated from one another (understanding, value tenets, and outcome tenets).

I see love as a unification of three unified factors translated through the "value tenets". The tenets that are the preservation lenses through which I filter the raw data of another person's existence.

They preserve truth, and strengthen truth. Truth is strengthened by how much it is refined, honored, and removed of any weaknesses that make it break or discount it as "love". Discounted in a sense that it doesn't lose truth with a person's "bridge" within relational insight of "lover" and "the one that is loved".

This strengthened understanding naturally manifests as the outcome tenets (care, affirmation of worth, protection of integrity, passion, and emotional bond) --what can be called the "outcome tenets" of love. These outcome tenets are not love itself; they are how love is translated into action and feeling.

To me, being loved "more" doesn't JUST mean receiving more passion or glee; it means my understanding of my partner is being strengthened and honored with higher resolution every day.

It is a bridge that requires two solid anchor points: my disciplined witnessing and your "ability to be seen".

If I build my bridge toward a void, it is a ghost structure that will eventually snap under its own weight because there is no objective reality on the other side to hold the tension.

I refuse to settle for a "comatose dream" where I am the only participant; I want the high-fidelity bond that only manifests when the truth is the mandatory foundation.

Love, therefore, is a union and translation of three unified factors: Understanding (its essence) -> Value Tenets (its vehicle of translation) -> Outcome Tenets (its manifestation).

I exclude the "distortion tenets" (passion, desire, habit, infatuation, care, admiration, fondness, lust, liking, yearning, thrill) from this core because I find them to be distortion lenses that prioritize my dopamine over the other person’s truth. They distort truth, distract truth, and don't do anything to strengthen truth itself. Passion, desire, habit, infatuation, care, admiration, fondness, lust, liking, yearning, thrill --these can be used as a medium of translation from understanding, but they're not included because they're not core to love's perceived reality.

Although some can be translated.

Love, purely, isn't JUST an emotion but a stronger kind of understanding (not more understanding, stronger understanding) --one that is strengthened and refined. It is strengthened by how the value tenets are grown.

Love isn’t deepened by emotions (part of what I call "outcome tenets") itself, but through these very "value tenets" that nurture and enrich understanding. The deeper those tenets grow, the deeper the "outcome tenets" that emerge as their byproduct --the way love is felt and expressed.

When understanding grows through regard, appreciation, determination, respect, and honor (the value tenets)-- love translates itself into richer expressions of emotion and deeper relational bonds.

The value tenets are grown through these conditions:

Meaning that "Ahavah" is a love so strong, that you give your wholeness and entire being to someone.

This is the final part of love: the greatest form of love is a form of commitment of one's wholeness to another person. Because it is the ultimate act of completely and entirely translating understanding --to using value as the medium of translation-- and translating it to some of its core tenets, and making it within it's greatest contender of gaining strengthened love.

Maybe that's what's cool about the Bible is that when it uses love, it is occasionally through an action of giving oneself for another.

Whenever we see the word "love" in the Bible, chances are it was translated from the Hebrew word Ahavah --which was translated into "I love you" because it exhibits all aspects of the past two posts of the "loving you." series:

1. Loving you. I

2. Loving you. II

All the while giving all of oneself's greatest efforts for another person, or a greater circumstance and purpose other than oneself. I think it fits with every one of us people.

Love in the form of "Ahavah" could take shape of parents working themselves to exhaustion for their kids; a married couple committing the rest of their lives in loyal and committed love; a really good politician devoting decades of their lives into the goodness of every person in a country; a professional fully giving their all into a project to benefit themselves and the things around them.

And it deepens.

The Greeks had different translations of "love" in its language showing different types of commitment: Eros (romantic, passionate love), Philia (deep friendship), Storge (familial love), Agape (unconditional, selfless love), and Philautia (self-love).

If you fully give your Ahavah to to your romance life, to your friends, to your family, to the world, and to oneself --you are devoting your entirety to it.

Giving it in your all of full commitment in the name of love. To commit you must learn to translate all of the core tenets to a multitude of smaller aspects applicable to it: to forgive, to trust, to nurture, and an infinite more aspects of translation from its core tenets.

To commit you whole life to it, and all that you have, from all you can possibly do to balance every type of Greek love.

Love isn't just an emotion, or just an action: love is a language of which you translate notions. Love is a language of which you try to decipher and understand your whole life --where just like any language, you use to connect tenets together in order translate it into actions people can perceive and hear as love; and where you use the different types of words within the language of what to devote your wholeness to. All your life.

Although he did mention something called "the principles of causality" by Thomas Aquinas.

¹² I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. ¹³ I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind! ¹⁴ I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

¹⁵ What is crooked cannot be straightened;

what is lacking cannot be counted.

¹⁶ I said to myself, “Look, I have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge.” ¹⁷ Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.

¹⁸ For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;

the more knowledge, the more grief.

1 Peter 5:2-3

² Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them --not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be;

not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; ³ not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

Life, liberty, justice, and goodness. I believe to be a good leader, you must lead not rule over. You musn't dominate but collaborate.

-Life is about seasons.

-Healthy growth requires the right timing.

-Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes. (Proberbs 19:2)

-Being slow to speak and slow to anger, is a sign of wisdom. Take your time. Allow yourself to process the situation.

-Wisdom is about knowledge, and knowing what the moment requires; not about insight, or limited momentary thoughts, or constant action.

-(Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) Life is about seasons and timing.

-Sometimes silence is a more appropriate response to suffering. Build up, keep them up, and if you have nothing to help them be better (even if you have to tear them down first) then shut up.

-God allows us to see purpose without fully seeing the process.

-And I am certain that God, who began the good work WITHIN YOU, will continue His work until the day it is finished once Christ returns (Philippians 1:6). He is within you. Working within you. 

-Quality is formed through patience and precision. 

-In everything you shall fo, show that by His kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words Lord Jesus Himself said: "It is more blessed to give than receive"

Day 1 (CCF): 

-You live by Christ, and the truth will set you free.

-The bible is a mirror not to expose your sins, but who you are with Christ Jesus.

-If Christ is within you, you are dead to sin.

-Don't see them in the world of the flesh, but in the process of being renewed in Christ.

-You are the salt of the earth

-Salt makes sure something doesn't spoil, rot, or break. You keep things in tact and maintain order and peace on earth.

-Salt gives flavor to situations and other people; in short you help people, and take care of one another.

-Salt never changes it's flavor, salt always stays true to itself. Thus always be true to the flavor of God's instructions.

-You are the light of the world.

-Light gives people sight, you must be a lighthouse and landmark to guide people to the right path. You make people know where to go, and become a beacon whenever they're lost.

-Light takes away darkness. You shall take away sinfulness and evil.

-You shine a light on God's example. When you do bad things as a child, people go "that's the child of--" or "who's your parent?". You should become a light of which makes people go "Mana sa Diyos yan!" or that you follow in God's footsteps and shine light not on your example, but God's example.

-True righteousness isn't about what you show on the outside, but of the renewing your mind and heart w

ith God's purpose.

-Love is like "Hamog" or dew (the water on plants as the sun rises even without rain). It happens everywhere in the world in times where it doesn't make sense initially, or when it happens unpredictably. But it is everywhere --formed from the moisture in the air where it is surrounds and forms throughout the earth, as love creates the quiet scaffolding of the world.

-There is no persecution and unfairness, when you all love as one. The greatest form of love is one without fractures or division, but as one.

-God is love, and love one another in God. Whenever we love as one, we become part with God. 

-Do not be afraid to show love. Do not be afraid to go out to people and greet them, to be kind to them, to be good to them; even when sometimes nobody else would, but as Jesus would.

-No one is alone, when we love as one. No one is scared, when we love as one. No one is hurt, when we love as one.

-Finger pointing and blaming, built up anger and irritation, ostracization and persecution is from the enemy. There is no room for hatred, bigotry, and unacceptance of a person within the body of Christ.

-Loving as one is loving within the body of Christ.

-When we love as one, our victories are celebrated and enjoyed as one. When we love as one, no one is truly sad or alone.

-Love God first, if we love God first we all love each other equally.

-Your love has an impact in another's life.

-One heart, one home, one God.

"people who can't communicate — think everything is an argument, and people who lack accountability think everything is an attack. when someone speaks, instead of hearing the message, they only hear the tone. when someone shares their feelings, they take it as an argument.

when someone points out a mistake, they take it as hate. and when someone points out how their actions hurt others, they see it as blame instead of responsibility.

some people are so used to defending themselves that they never listen. they act like you are attacking their whole character, and they think every conversation is a battle they must win. but real communication is not about winning.

it's about hearing each other, even when the truth is uncomfortable, or even if you don't fully agree. communication is not war, and accountability is not attack. but it takes being honest and open to see that, and not everyone is ready to do that."

— Akira Astrea

-Loving with God's character is real love.

-Real love is not shown through human emotion, but through Godly character.

-A foolish man builds his house on sand, a wise man builds it on stone. Build love not on emotions, but on Godly honor, infliction of worth, and virtues.

-Paul mentions different passages in 1 Corinthians 13:

a) spiritual gifts: things that are revelations from God - prophecy, tongues (speaking in other languages), faith, etc.

b) love: the things that bind us to together, and makes us complete in tandem.

-spiritual gifts are great but partial revelations, it becomes useless. Although love lasts forever. Paul shifted the focus on spiritual love, which makes you complete.

-Jesus did not die for spiritual gifts but out of LOVE.

-But there are only three things that will last forever: faith, hope, and love --but the greatest of these is love.

-Love should be the prerequisite for every good thing we do.

-What is God's version of love? It is in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a. Love is patient and kind, love is not arrogant or rude, it does not insist on its own way, it is not irritable or resentful, but rejoices with the truth.

-Love is never transactional, love is "I see you, and I'm willing to do these things for you".

-True love does not judge, but has compassion.

-Love believes of what this person could be, so never doubt their potential if they have dreams and aspirations. Believing in love, means you trust in one another.

-Love is not just a command, but a gift.

-Christ-like friendship plays a significant role in the sanctification of the individual believer. We have different takes, opinions, and others but it takes real Christ-likeness, to love them even if they're the complete opposite.

-Loving those who you don't like, or are pretty much "unlovable" for you is what God would wojld find admirable. 

-Who is "unlovable"? Look in the mirror, if you were to take all the perspectives of every time you hurt someone severely, lied, got irritable, failed to love, and sin more-- we know the factors that we are all humans with a human nature. Our nature is to actively choose sin; our nature makes us actively want sin, even if we don't believe that in our conscience, we all do-- and that makes us all imperfect: which is infinitely imperfect.

-"Infinitely imperfect" doesn't mean "infinitely bad".

-Just like how there's a infinite amount of things we don't know, we are all infinitely imperfect. It doesn't mean we are all equally good --some people are better than others-- it's just that we're all equally imperfect.

Think of it as intelligence: some are smarter with a higher amount of intelligence as well as IQ, but all of us are equally stupid with an infinite amount of things we won't be able to know or comprehend.

-Everyone is just as imperfect in actively wanting sin as you within its nature, some are just enlightened to go against it. But we all want sin, some just want to go against that nature. Makes us all just as infinitely imperfect as everyone else.

As we are all equally flawed, and limited with what we can do.

-Jesus said that the greatest commandment of the law is to love, first to love God and then to love one another. Since love shields us away from all sins. Love is the greatest, and the most powerful thing we can do.

-The only person who is infinitely good, and altogether perfect is Jesus.

-Jesus said there is absolutely nothing written in the law that forbids love.

We often like to think we're stronger than another person to make ourselves feel better, but in what way? Emotionally? Physically? Mentally? Intellectually?

Potential lives in the realm of unproven theory-- what could be lifted, endured, or accomplished under ideal conditions. But when the stressors meet the arrangement, potential vanishes, and whatever remains... wins.

Strength is strictly based in relevance in accordance with the matters most prevalent to what is purposeful. Whoever backs out or cheats is not stronger in relevance to what was purposeful in that scenario:

If you give someone a tow truck, that doesn't make him physically stronger than the strongest bodybuilder alive. If you give someone a cheat sheet in a spelling bee, that doesn't mean he is intellectually strong in one. If someone is brutally tortured for two years, that doesn't make you emotionally stronger than him just because you are functioning today.

Your arrangement was never tested against his stressor load, that was relevant for that circumstance. Strength is the authentic outcome that emerges when the collision between reality and your system settles.

Strength alone needs proof of capacity to withstand challenges, relevant to the conditions in that scenario.

Here are the rules for the quantification of strength, and its general equations:

Your true functional strength is equal to [Your Combined System Assets] minus [Your Accumulated Internal Wear] minus [The Total Environmental Stressor Load], scaled by [Your Relevance & Authenticity Ratio].

1. The Starting System Value

[Your Combined System Assets] equals the sum of every internal positive element currently present in your arrangement-- including your physical conditioning, psychological discipline, core values, strategic wisdom, and available energy.

2. The Pre-Existing Subtractions

[Your Accumulated Internal Wear] equals the sum of every negative tax already sitting inside your system before the test begins-- including active fatigue, sleep deprivation, physical injuries, unresolved trauma, and the residual drain from previous battles (-1 per battle).

3. The Active Pressure

[The Total Environmental Stressor Load] equals the sum of all forces colliding with your arrangement in that specific moment-- including physical pain, time pressure, emotional strain, isolation, and environmental harshness.

4. The Authenticity Filter

[Your Relevance & Authenticity Ratio] equals your total internal effort divided by your total output (internal effort plus external crutches). If you use a cheat sheet or a tow truck, the external assistance inflates the output, causing this ratio --and thus your personal strength equation-- to collapse toward zero.

The Conditional Outcome Rule

IF the result of (Assets - Internal Wear) - Stressor Load is GREATER THAN ZERO:

THEN your arrangement remains intact, and the surviving residue is your Proven Strength.

IF the result is LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO ZERO:

THEN the stressor has exceeded your system's total capacity, resulting in Structural Failure.

CORE FORMULA:

TRUE STRENGTH = ( (ASSETS - INTERNAL DAMAGE) - STRESSOR LOAD ) AUTHENTICITY

WHERE:

- SYSTEM CAPACITY = (ASSETS - INTERNAL DAMAGE)

- NET REMAINDER = SYSTEM CAPACITY - STRESSOR LOAD

- TRUE STRENGTH = NET REMAINDER * AUTHENTICITY

"As long as I’m around... as long as I have breath in my lungs... nobody suffers or dies. I’m going to be a hero, and I’m going to save everyone I can.

I said nobody dies, not even you.

What's important is not letting anyone suffer, or die because you do nothing! If you don't get that, then you don't get the first thing about being Spider-Man.

We're not just our failures. As much as they hurt, we learn from them. Then we go out there and do our best to make up for them-- even though we never will. We save people. We save as many as we can to make up for the ones we couldn't. That's all we do."

— Peter Parker from TASM #655, All New Captain America special #1, and Spider-Man: Edge of Time.

Everything has a natural orientation: species' evolve and orient to continuing its lineage, and animals have a natural instinct; the universe spins and the world follows, as well as how the world follows the rest of the natural laws oriented to how its made in the material world. Our natural orientation to live and experience, is to settle on something meaningful.

What is life for? You see, most take to living life within the confines of adhering to purpose. Purpose is interpreted in this as the thing that drives oneself, attracts oneself, to a specific ideal or state of ideal-- mostly to be seen as meaningful.

Meaning comes from value, and value coagulates to project beauty, truth, and whatever there may be good. This is the event horizon to truth and beauty, at least for the three transcendentals: the good.

To assert that we help others simply because "they have value" --stripping away utilitarian utility, evolutionary altruism, and self-projecting egoism-- is to cross the ultimate threshold of metaethics.

We don't help people because it benefits us; we don't help people because they can be better or "useful"; we don't help people because of self-projecting "what if they were you"; we do it because they have value. Everyone in this entire world was born valuable in some capacity. Thus every human being deserves to have rights, and the freedom to live and experience.

"It's not about being nice. If I end someone's life, I become the final arbiter of guilt. Spider-Man stands for justice and for peace. I show consequences without becoming what I'm fighting.

Killing teaches everyone that a life can be taken when someone decides it should. The cycle keeps repeating until someone puts an end to it.

— Peter Parker from "TASM #129"

It is to recognize that value is not an assigned variable or an economic calculation; it is an intrinsic, ontological reality. Human beings do not possess value because they are functional, agreeable, or mirrors of ourselves; they possess value because they are expressions of Being itself.

To extend help to another is not a transaction, but an act of ontological recognition: acknowledging that the good within them demands alignment with the good by itself.

This reveals the fundamental illusion at the heart of the modern quest for "purpose." Most people spend their lives trapped within the confines of purpose, treating it as an engine of personal drive-- a psychological anchor designed to make an individual life feel self-important, meaningful, or productive. But when purpose is reduced to personal ambition or subjective state-attainment, it remains an exercise in egoic projection.

True meaning cannot be manufactured by the individual will; meaning is the natural luminescence of value. Value is the foundational bedrock upon which all purpose must rest if it is not to collapse into narcissism. When value densifies and stabilizes within human consciousness, it coagulates into the visible, tangible architecture of existence: projecting truth to the intellect, beauty to the perception, and goodness to the soul.

Here we reach the event horizon: the Good. In astrophysics, an event horizon is the boundary beyond which no light can escape the gravitational pull of a singularity, and where the known laws of space and time bend into absolute unity. In metaphysics, The good functions as the spiritual and logical singularity of reality.

Plotinus recognized that while Truth structures the mind and Beauty draws the heart, both are ultimately emanations of the primary, uncaused source-- the One, which is synonymously the Absolute Good. Modern naturalism, when viewed through cornell realism, converges on this same singularity: the ultimate homeostatic cluster toward which all systemic health, justice, and human flourishing gravity-pulls. Truth is what reality is; Beauty is how reality manifests; but the good is why reality matters.

To cross this event horizon is to understand that the good is not merely one transcendental among three; it is the fundamental ground from which truth and beauty derive their imperative weight.

Without the Good, Truth is merely cold, indifferent data, and Veauty is a hollow, deceptive facade. The Good is the gravitational center that bends all human reasoning, ethical action, and aesthetic wonder back toward unity.

When you help another human being purely because they have value, you cease operating within the small, transactional economics of human purpose. You step across the event horizon into the absolute: acting not out of need, contract, or ego, but as a direct instrument of the Good, bringing the universe into alignment with its own ultimate truth.

We shall then make things meaningfully beautiful, to be all happy and free. We then, are applied value. We then, all have a life worth to live and experience if we make it so.

Everything else we do, is in the name of protecting and maintaining that meaningful beauty integral to human life. Tell me, why do you live? Isn't that the reason why?

Perceiving meaningful beauty is far more than a passive aesthetic pleasure; it is an active, unavoidable summons to ethical action. When a human mind encounters true beauty --whether in the elegant non-contradiction of a logical proof or the quiet grace of a selfless act-- the experience is not merely emotional.

It is a moment of profound cognitive recognition. In that instant, reason recognizes structural harmony, and the barrier between observing the good and embodying the good begins to dissolve. Beauty acts as the essential catalyst that transforms cold, abstract moral logic into living, passionate conviction.

It strips away the cynical illusion that the universe is a chaotic arena of random self-interest, revealing instead the objective, coherent order that underpins existence. To glimpse that harmony is to feel an immediate, intuitive obligation to protect it, align with it, and bring it into the world.

This is where the metaethical reality of the universe directly generates moral duty. Beauty is the luminous radiance of the forms shining through physical matter, serving as a perceptual alarm that jolts the soul out of material slumber and attracts it back toward truth and goodness.

Beauty is the perceptual signature of a homeostatic property cluster-- a complex, natural system of human goods like health, trust, and justice operating at peak functional balance.

Though one system speaks of divine emanations and the other of natural, self-regulating feedback loops, both agree on a vital truth: beauty and goodness are objective facts.

When we realize this, moral apathy becomes intellectually impossible. Evil, cruelty, and injustice are laid bare for what they truly are: not clever survival strategies or valid personal choices, but grotesque structural contradictions that fracture the coherence of human life.

To see beauty clearly is to realize that cruelty and deceit are errors in reason-- violent disruptions of the natural harmony that allows human beings to flourish.

The person who grasps this can no longer remain indifferent to the suffering or degradation of the world, because tolerating the destruction of the Good is equivalent to tolerating the destruction of Truth itself. Ethical action, therefore, ceases to be a tedious burden imposed by external rules, social pressure, or fear of punishment. It becomes an invigorating, self-evident necessity-- the natural, joy-filled expression of a mind aligned with reality.

"You'll never guess who he wants to be... Spider-Man!

He knows a hero when he sees one. Too few characters out there, flying around like that, saving old girls like me.

And Lord knows, kids like Henry need a hero. Courageous, self-sacrificing people, setting examples for all of us.

Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them. Cheer them. Scream their names. And years later, they'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them to hold on a second longer.

I believe there's a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride.

Even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams.

Spider-Man did that for Henry and he wonders where he's gone... he needs him.

Do you think you could lift that desk and put it into the garage for me? But don't strain yourself."

— Aunt May, from Spider-Man 2 (2002 movie)

Spider-Man as of May 23, 2026 is the most popular marvel superhero of all time, and the world's most popular superhero. Although a lot of people find it hard to grasp why he's so loved from the big 3 of the most influential and popular superheroes (Spider-Man, Batman, Superman).

Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in 1962, Peter Parker (Spider-Man) has historically been Marvel's most recognizable, profitable, and globally popular character.

For decades, Spider-Man has dominated comic sales, film, merchandising, video games, and every facet of media. He acts as Marvel's primary mascot and the relatable, everyday hero who can appeal to anyone. He IS the face of marvel.

There's something very special about Spider-Man. I mean he used to be something I was so obsessed with when I was younger, but I did grow out of it.

However after replaying Marvel's Spider-Man for the PS4; reading: Marvel's adventures: Spider-Man; Spider-Man: Blue; Spidey; both the original Ultimate Spider-Man comics and the reboot (earth-1610 and earth-6160 comics); the TASM comics (JMS, Michelinie/McFarlane, DeMatties, DeFalco runs); Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man (2019 comic); and watching the spectacular spider-man TV show --I started to fall in love with him again.

In a world where superheroes are made to be such: a raging green behemoth, with a doctor jeckel and mister Hyde complex; a god of lightning from an old Norse myth; a billionaire orphan from a lineage of secret organizations; an alien from a distant and destroyed planet; an Amazon warrior princess; a speedster that can harness the speed of the multiverse with each step; and more to boot.

We get one timid --yet hardened teenager-- who randomly (arguably ambiguous to fate and chance) gets bit by a radioactive spider.

In the comics: he juggled with exams and school; rent, personal, and family problems; personal and social lives; and more that we can relate to. Before Spider-Man, no hero ever had to do that in any way. No superhero before Spider-Man had struggles and life experience the way we have in real life.

Most representations of heroism feels surreal, glimmering, ungraspable. They all seem to shift further and further away from reach from our realities, as we associate heroism only with the "great men" of history and fiction. The truth is, real change isn't woven into those characters-- but in the realities of the masses reflecting and expanding upon itself. Their intricate, unique lives shifting and growing from person to person; as the world governs itself through that scaffolding.

What made Spider-Man resonate, wasn't because he was "conventionally special" or just that he had relatable problems --but because he reflected the weight of humanity. You loved him not because he was everything the world could ask for, but because in some sense you recognized a part of him within the world, and maybe even in yourself. In him, you found a sense of humanity of what humans could be: courageous, self-sacrificing, kind individuals doing the greatest good with the best of their ability. He represented the altruism needed for today's society.

That he represented the 98% of the 117,000,000,000 people that lived on earth, or even the 98% of the 109,000,000,000 people that lived in a civilization. With struggles, with personal problems, without lavish or rich lifestyles, and always making the decision to choose. You also gotta remember that every era before the 19th century, 96% of all the people who lived globally in a civilization were in extreme poverty (even during their time they considered themselves poor).

He represented not the top 1% (62,500,000 millionaires) or the top 0.000035% (3,428 billionaires) --all of which own 50% of all the money in the world whilst 4,000,000,000 (half of the world population) are poor (unsuitable, low-income ceiling), alongside the 800,000,000 of them in fatal conditions-- but he represented the vast majority of everyone who ever existed (representing pretty much 117,000,000,000) people.

Most acts of heroism are never witnessed, never written down, never remembered. They flicker like sparks in the dark --one person choosing courage over safety, sacrifice over comfort-- and then fade, leaving behind only the lives forever changed. But every so often, one of those sparks burns so brightly that it forces the world to pause.

History hums with echoes, within the 117,000,000,000 people that lived and breathed within this world. Irena Sendler burying names in jars so thousands of Jewish children might have a future again. Edward Spencer tying himself to shore and diving into black water until his body broke when hundreds were drowning. George Pickering II holding police on gunpoint, in order to save a patient at the brink of death.

Leonhard Seppala, Dith Pran, Antoinette Tuff, Lassana Bathily, Robert O'Donnell, Nicholas Winton, Chiune Sugihara, Giorgio Perlasca, Hugh O’Flaherty, Malalai Joya, Corrie ten Boom, Henri Dunant, Clara Barton, Peter Benenson, Rani Maria, Harold Lowe, Gino Bartali, Guy Fitzpatrick, Fridtjof Nansen, Ho Feng-Shan; Aitzaz Hasan Bangash; Harriet Tubman;

and billions, upon billions, upon billions, upon billions more.

All of them were regular people who saved people's lives, if not hundreds or even thousands, and risked their own lives. These lives remind us that responsibility belongs not to the "conventionally special", but to the ordinary; although special enough to act.

They don't have to be what the world deems "special" or "legendary" like Alexander the Great, or Napoleon Bonaparte, or Zeng Yi Sao, or Joan of Arc, or Genghis Khan, or Mansa Musa --or to the hundreds, upon hundreds, upon hundreds of thousands like them-- to leave a lasting impact upon this world.

And behind them stretch a hundred billion stories from past and present, unnamed yet impactful: the mother who works herself into exhaustion, the neighbor who keeps a light on, the partner who rushes by their significant others' side, the friend who refuses to leave. Their choices, invisible yet uncountable, form the quiet scaffolding of the world. Heroism is not rare --it hides in ordinary lives spent with care.

These systems has been linked to the phones you use, the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the house you live in, and every single fathomable facet of your life. Where every single fathomable facet of your life was built on the foundations of billions of pseudo-slaves that are forced to work for pennies in low-income, extracted areas by neo-colonialist and imperialist countries. As well as just normal slavery. All of these are modern metrics that persecute a total of billions:

People get that wrong all the time, dominance is only useful when it is purposeful. It only becomes purposeful when one uses it to dominate oneself's inner flaws, or such as in order to WILL one's pertained meaningfulness in this world.

Scrutiny questions: "What purpose does strength give?". The answer? Strength is purposeful when it adheres to what life is for.

Let's say, someone can bench press 1,000,000,000kg of weight and you want to test physical strength. You then choose to use calisthenics instead of weight lifting to determine physical superiority. The other loses, you also lose, both of you do in different ways. The competition continues, the purposefulness and meaningfulness is up to none. It is a never ending act of stupidity.

It essentially, shows that it doesn't really matter what form of physical superiority it undergoes. Since it doesn't promote the purposefulness included in why we live anyways. It is a waste of time, and a useless, shallow determination of short-term dopamine.

It makes you look like a dumbass to a wise person, because strength in comparison doesn't matter in relation to life's genuine meaning.

It essentially does not pertain logic when you compare and build your life around strength alone, without understanding the point of life.

Strength, in hindsight, shall not adhere to oneself, but to the rules of persistence in what I dub "meaningful beauty" (take to part II of "the weight of humanity" series to see an elaboration to how "meaningful beauty" functions under what is valuable and what is meaningful).

It only becomes relevant in purpose, when one acknowledges the reason we live: to be happy, to be free, to be meaningful under what is valuable in this world. Those are the reasons of living, which adheres to the value associated with what is meaningfully beautiful in this world.

-In Christ, all is equal. There is no greek, no Jew, no male, no female, no masters, no slaves --all is just one: humans (Galatians 3:28)

-before, life was harder for those select few. Women, slaves, and the persecuted had no rights --but now they do. This is a great victory for the goodness that is needed to be instilled for us Christians: for harmony and equality for all. In all, we are one.

-Although there are still major inequalities with those groups, just less now.

-If the same story is repeated within all 4 gospels, it means it plays a significant role into our faith journey.

-Some example figures: Miriam, Rahab, Priscilla, Sarah, Deborah, Esther

-Whilst people before and now still justify misogyny, in the Bible, all people are equal in importance and significance. Also in the Bible it shows and says, THAT WOMEN ARE CAPABLE OF BECOMING BEACONS OF LEADERSHIP. They have potential to be strong, to be wise, to be intelligent, to be independent under the glory of God-- just as much as a man.

-There have been multiple women in the bible that have been amazing leaders chosen by God --in a managerie of other roles of leadership: politically, religiously, philosophically, etc.

-Christians that justify misogyny --as well as other persecutions-- are examples of the false preachers warned in the Bible. They misinterpret verses to justify their own vile intentions. They say "This verse blatantly says this!" without showing the proper context of the time it was written, or the context of the situation, or it's relation to the verses connected to it.

-Till this day people are still being persecuted for reasons that are unfair. That includes women.

-Jesus was persecuted, and He was underestimated. Jesus, was a lot of things that were persecuted by the Romans.

-John Wesley (founder of Methodism) doubted His faith to pretty much atheism, but his friend said: Continue to preach faith, and your faith will be restored to preach again.

-Continue to serve God, even without faith. It is like love, it isn't governed by feelings but by choosing again and again --because you value and care for something you find meaningful.

-The altersgate experience was given to John Wesley.

-Thomas was a doubter, but he was still able to reclaim his faith through choosing again and again to practice the faith, in remembrance of Him.

-Sometimes we doubt or don't want to go to church because of problems. If we remember Christ through being present in the practice --and by gathering together-- we integrate the strongest way to become closer to Christ.

-Sometimes we don't want to believe in God because of the church or the people who believe/associate with Christianity, but it's not about the Christians, it's about choosing Him when all seems lost... Even when we are atheists.

There are two terms I want to elucidate, to further show the nature of the matters of things you don't want, but why they happen: recidivism and extrajudicial killings. Recidivism and extrajudicial killings often shows that punishing people who commit crimes DO NOT lessen crimes themselves, for it doesn't kill the root cause to why crimes exist in the first place.

Those who do show data analysis of any "improvements" are inaccurate and self-contradicting.

For context, let's take the war on drugs in the Philippines. First, how the war on drugs failed. Second, how the war on drugs had fallacious data justification.

Data analysis demonstrates that punitive "war on drugs" policies fail because prohibition alters market economics rather than eliminating supply or demand, while compounding social and financial costs. From an economic perspective, enforcement operations act as a tax on suppliers, which artificially inflates retail prices and creates high profit margins that incentivize new cartels to enter the market. On the demand side, addiction renders consumer demand largely inelastic, meaning higher prices lead to increased property crimes or riskier behavior rather than a drop in consumption.

Quantitatively, despite over $1 trillion spent on enforcement and interdiction in the U.S. alone since 1971, drug usage and fatal overdose rates have reached historical highs. Furthermore, mass incarceration metrics show that drug arrests --which occur roughly every 25 seconds in the U.S.-- have not measurably reduced substance misuse. Studies indicate that individuals released from prison are actually 129 times more likely to die of an overdose in their first two weeks post-release compared to the general public.

By contrast, comparative data consistently shows that harm-reduction and public health approaches --such as needle exchange programs, Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD), and voluntary treatment-- reduce re-arrest rates by up to 58% while significantly lowering disease transmission and fatal overdoses.

Police departments have historically relied on inaccurate data justifications --often called statistical manipulation, downgrading, or "fudging the numbers"-- to falsely claim that crime has dropped during aggressive anti-drug campaigns.

These distorted justifications typically rely on four main structural tricks:

1. Crime downgrading: police departments frequently reclassify major offenses (index crimes) into minor ones that do not factor into public safety metrics. For example, a felony grand larceny is recorded as a minor misdemeanor, or an armed robbery is written off as a simple lost-and-found report or minor altercation, artificially lowering "violent crime" totals.

2. Discouraging and suppressing reports: Officers often pressure victims against filing formal police reports, fail to log complaints made by residents in high-crime neighborhoods, or refuse to write formal incident logs for lower-level drug and property offenses. Because official metrics only count reported crimes, this creates a false paper trail of declining criminality.

3. Gaming clearance rates: To project success, departments manipulate "clearance rates" (the percentage of solved cases) through techniques like exceptional clearance. Under this practice, police link multiple unsolved non-violent crimes to a single deceased, jailed, or scapegoated suspect, claiming dozens of cases are "resolved" without providing solid evidence for each individual offense.

4. Data disconnects & reporting gaps: During heavy drug crackdowns, police focus overwhelmingly on drug arrests, which can create a selection bias. Unreported victimizations --such as non-fatal shootings, domestic violence, or extortion-- are ignored unless an arrest occurs, making crime rates appear to fall simply because police stopped tracking ordinary offenses to prioritize drug raids.

When independent criminologists and auditors cross-reference police data with National Crime Victimization Surveys (NCVS) or hospital emergency room admission data, they consistently find that while official police-recorded crime rates dropped, actual victimizations stayed the same or even increased.

Crimes usually happen because of environmental, societal, emotional, and economic influences --around systems of disadvantageous or opportunistic incentives that are built around the systems of said environmental, societal, emotional, and economic pressures.

It is the system that allows environmental, societal, emotional, and economic influences to exist that allows abuse or non-collaboration of the law.

Nobody in this entire world, is born selfish. It is the material and environmental conditions that allowed a person to develop the way they are, which is what makes someone adhere to either altruism or ego.

Your genetics and environmental upbringing determine the amount of switches you get, the switches are then turned on by how you respond and are influenced by your environment.

Many people get manipulated to do activities because of how the switches that were there. Many people adhere to fallacious idealisms --that make them want to unintentionally or intentionally conform to systems-- that promote persecution without their notice due to the switches that were turned on through the journey of their lives.

To change the systems is to alter how the switches get turned on, which greatly affects how unfavourable matters --such as crime-- would happen in the first place. To alter the environmental, societal, emotional, and economic pressures-- is to partition in reducing the incentives these people to do crime, which then shortens the rate of it.

You are a slave to whatever system you conform yourself to, and whatever system is already there to condition and create who you are. The world is governed through systems, and you have no freedom to consciously think of your own will unless the system has somehow failed to brainwash you, because of your own unique trail of conditioning your own mind.

If you wanna feel less bored reading the "loving you." series, listen to these playlists:

1. You altogether beautiful, my love.

The series "loving you." is the encapsulation on what I believe the initial depths of love is within loving a person. This post gets gradually more technical and complex as you move forward, so watch for that.

Let's look at the definition of love: "A profound feeling of deep affection, attachment, and care projected from a specific concept or person." Although the implications of it is deeper than the apparent simplicity of how it is defined.

This is the main argument in simple terms: True love is about seeing and accepting someone for what they really are, not what you want them to be, or any fake version of them. That you should love THEM, not any weird version of them.

So you should love what it is, or in other words: you should ACTUALLY love it.

The other point of this series though, is to completely define the fundamental conception of love, based on the perceptions of three different cultures.

Since love is emphasized differently through different cultures, I am willing to take all of what is consistent in all of them using just three.

This all an attempt to examine love not merely as emotion, attraction, or interpersonal attachment; but as a foundational human phenomenon accentuated differently across cultures: to see them, then to value them, then to give yourself to them. Its purpose is to explore the depths of love, and what remains consistent in implications throughout all parts of "loving you.".

The project therefore approaches love linguistically as well as philosophically. It examines how different languages partition reality of another. Certain cultures possess distinctions on the emphasis for love-- but one thing's for certain: love is not merely an emotion, it is just how love shows itself. Love is a translation.

A major focus of the series is the collaborative mixture of Kazakh, Filipino, and Hebrew conceptions for love, not because they are the only meaningful traditions, but because these are the three simplest ways to define the core fundamentals of love.

By placing these traditions in dialogue, the series attempts to uncover how language encodes entire metaphysical and phenomenological assumptions about human connection. Some linguistic systems frame love primarily in different ways, others emphasize it vastly different; I have compiled what makes all of it love in its core definitively. These differences reveal that "love" is not a singular phenomenon, but a multidimensional structure rooted in understanding.

The series ultimately shows that studying the language of love, is also the study of how humans understand meaning itself. Analyzing love across languages is therefore to examine the architecture through which human beings organize another's reality.

It coincides as an inspired take of these philosophies:

1. I and Thou - Martin Buber
   

   
   

2. The sublime and the good (Philosophy of love) - Iris Murdoch

   
   

3. All love: new visions - bell hooks

   
   

4. Gravity and grace (Philosophy of attention) - Simone Weil

   
   

5. Critique of pure reason - Immanuel Kant

   
   

6. The two truths - Buddha

   
   

7. Amor Dei Intellectualis - Spinoza

   
   

With a few comments on:

• The metaphysics and linguistics of love
  

  
  

Loving you. I: Kazakh - "I see you clearly".

Loving you. II: Filipino - "You are valuable to me".

Loving you. III: Hebrew - "I give myself to you".

Whilst reading the "Universe 26" series, I think listening to these playlists makes it more fun (depends on you):

1. The absolute weight of humanity.

2. The revolution will not be televised.

3. Wake up, Mr. Freeman.

4. The world as it spins.

5. The underbelly of everything.

   
   

   TS IS KICKING MY ASS RN. THIS SERIES GENIUNELY KICKING MY DIHH AND BALZ BY THE SHEER METRIC FUCK TON OF RESEARCH PAPERS
   

   
   

The "Universe 26" series is my case study for the world's composition of persecution, it's history of persecution, and how it is all illogical to sustain in terms of: metaphysics, systemic design, beneficial implications, and in any terms of interest when in relation to rationality.

It details all of the 964 Pinocchio levels of fucked up, agonizing and torturous experiences that persecute hundreds of millions, as well as the Capernaum levels of systems that persecute billions. Those being thousands of systems.

The first entry will detail why it is illogical, the second entry will detail a few hundred (of the millions) of persecutory systems, and the last entry will detail solutions and how to make solutions.

At its core, this entry argues that societies built on profitable suffering are running ultimately on a self-defeating strategy. While oppressive systems can accumulate massive wealth, power, and extravagant lifestyles for a significant portion of time-- this structural reliance on extraction ruins the very foundations a civilization needs to flourish and sustain effectivity to its fullest benificial potential (for a society and oneself when pertaining different factors compared to just profit). Which by itself indirectly and directly goes back to them.

My perspectives on these pertain that systems excessively dependent upon coercive extraction often become increasingly burdened by legitimacy erosion, irrational corruption (for the beneficiary), adaptive rigidity, escalating maintenance costs, suppressed innovation and human potential, and declining social trust.

By treating human beings as disposable economic units, these systems wane and rot from the inside out. Ultimately it does not necessarily need to be self-destructive to be irrational, human dignity and fairness are not just idealistic moral preferences; but they are practical, structural requirements for any society that wishes to remain resilient, effective, and flourishing within its beneficial potential to its maximum.

It also addresses the inherent rational arguments philosophers have created, that dictates a human being as valuable by the means of itself. How we were given rights, through the arguments of which having rights matter inherently pertained through logical persistence.

It addresses an interpretation of these philosophies:

1. International relations constructivism/Kantian constructivism - Christine Korsgaard

   
   

2. Hobbesian contractarianism - Gauthier

   
   

3. Marxist theory and socialist critique - Albert Einstein; Prabhat; Utsa Patnaik; Domenico Losurdo; Michael Parenti; Zak Cope; Richard D. Wolff; Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels; Vladimir Lenin; Rosa Luxemburg; Antonio Gramsci; Georg Lukács; Nelson Mandela, Kirsten Ghodsee; Cedric Robinson

   
   

4. Contractualism

   
   

5. Kantian ethics - Onora O'Neill, Immanuel Kant

   
   

6. Hegelian dialectics

   
   

7. Rational cooperation theory

   
   

8. Naturalistic/externalist moral realism & Cornell realism - Terence Cuneo, Russ Shafer-Landau, Richard Boyd, David Brink, Nicholas Sturgeon, David O. Brink, Peter Railton

   
   

9. The philosophy of consciousness

   
   

10. Systems theory - David Easton

    
    

11. Civilizational legitimacy theory

    
    

12. Political realism

    
    

13. Anti-instrumentalization theory

    
    

14. Control medium of ideals: Roger Scruton; Friedrich Hayek; Thomas Sowell; Ludwig von Misses

With a few commentaries on:

• The Epstein files themselves

• How the masses are easily persuaded, distracted, and fooled

• Historical and modern narratives relative today

• Counter-arguments against context-irrelevant stances depicting that socialism doesn't work (like trade embargoes/blockades/economic strangulation, premature uprisings, poor leadership)

• The negative effects on scientific, educational, and societal innovation

• How retarded it is for the proletariat to turn and fight one another.

This series has deep ties with "The weight of humanity" series, and the "They have controlled you" series.

Here are the parts of the "Universe 26" series:

Universe 26 I: Moral virtuousness is based in logic, orientation of selfishness is not rational or favourable.

Universe 26 II: This is the world, these are the systems, and they have controlled you.

Universe 26 III: These are all of the solutions, and how you should be thinking to solve future solutions.

Strength is very loose in how it's perceived, whilst many people's basis in it is quite naive and short sighted. People have no grounded understanding on the determiners of strength.

This piece aligns us to how strength is deemed purposeful with what we can align with truth, meaning, and beauty. As well as how humans mistake strength as something that scales with potential, boastfulness, or apathy (which it does not).

This piece will be inspired by these philosophies:

1. Will to power - Friedrich Nietzche; Alexander Nehamas, Maudemarie Clark; Brian Leiter
   
   

2. The Wisdom of Life, Essays and Aphorisms, The World as Will and Representation, Counsels and Maxims - Arthur Schopenhauer

   
   

3. Stoicism - Marcus Aurelius

Stronger than you I: What is strength?

Stronger than you II: There is insecurity in the obsession of strength. Arguing who's "stronger" does not matter, what matters is BEING STRONG to maintain "meaningful beauty".

Stronger than you III: The misunderstanding of strength, and why we need to be strong.

It has HEAVY ties with the weight of humanity and mental mind.

It studies why we act the way we act, and how to amend our psychological set-backs and weaknesses-- to will our purpose and meaning into this world.

I think listening to this playlist makes reading this more fun:

1. Everything will be okay.

2. The absolute weight of humanity.

3. The world as it spins.

4. The world is so expansive.

Every single day, several thousands of people get viciously murdered.

Every single day, thousands more save a life from another.

Every single day, someone sacrifices their life for another.

The series highlights WHY we need to value, care for, and love other human beings as a collective. For fun I also made it about Spider-Man, cause I think he's the best character to represent us (this post makes me laugh a lot, holy shit I'm an absolute man-child for picking Spidey :3).

It highlights the very core root on to why we should hate persecutory systems from the "Universe 26" series. Simply, because it is morally unjust and straight up evil... obviously...

This is an interpretation of these philosophies:

1. Kantian ethics - Immanuel Kant

   
   

2. Metaethics of Plato/Neoplatonism - Plato, Plotinus

   
   

3. History from bellow theory/people's history theory (Anti-great man theory, or the opposite of great man theory) - Reynaldo Ileto, Howard R. Lamar, Eric Hobwsbawm, Marcus Rediker, Howard Zinn, E.P. Thompson

   
   

4. Aristotelian Eudaimonia - Aristotle

   
   

5. Existential Personalism

   
   

6. Cornell realism/moral realism

This is a direct response to the "Universe 26" series.

The weight of humanity I: A hero in all of us

The weight of humanity II: The value of human life.

The weight of humanity III: No one is born with inherent selfishness. Everything starts with you.

It details feministic and patricarchal history, the millions of key influential women figures that are JUST AS influential as men, and the need for equal rights in the tilted world we live in today due to the 964 pinocchio levels of persecution against women today.

Do you know who discovered the earth's core, DNA, nuclear fission, radioactivity, the greenhouse effect, dark matter; or who is the mother of WiFi, paleontology, and a shit load (millions) of massive contributions (STEM, HUMSS, MAD, ICT) or straight up women-only-made inventions-- THAT ARE JUST AS influential as ALL of the most influential male ones?

Like some of the most intelligent people who ever existed were also women --regarded to be as intelligent and influential as Newton, Tesla, or Einstein-- like Emily Noether, Vera Rubin, Chien-Shiung Wu, and others? Like some of the most influential male innovators had stolen from females? Like there are a plethora of major sports (gymnastics, volleyball, acrobatics, figure skating) that are dominated by women?

Do you know how many millions are being persecuted through legalization and normalisation of psuedo-enslavement, abuse, or torture in Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, and many more countries?

Do you know why we need equality instead of what you see on the internet that makes you biased?

You will know if you read.

When I took a step inside a psychiatric facility in the Philippines and look upon a survivor like Freya (different name so as to hide her identity) --her body a map of severe burns, systemic mutilation, starvation, and deep lacerations-- is to look directly at the actual physical scaffolding of our modern world, and what preserves the scaffolding.

Where they would be tortured for months, upon months, upon months, upon months if not years; alongside being worked 16-18 hours shifts daily, whilst being paid pennies or not at all

The iPhone you use, the car you drive, the food you eat, the clothes you wear was created on the foundations of physical, agonizing, and systematic labor of global persecution. People fetishize the commodities as great and ignore the toll and millions of human sacrifices it took to make it.

Her 6 months of systematic torture are not an anomaly, nor are they a historical relic; they represent the somatic underbelly of a global order that thrives on the absolute destruction of human biology. Today, 50,000,000 people live in conditions of modern slavery worldwide, with nearly a million trapped in these exploitative systems within the Philippines alone. With hundreds of millions separate from them, that live in heavily extracted and impoverished areas and are forced to be persecuted under profitable interest for the elites, and to keep the economic and cultural zeitgeist of today.

Yet, this mass scale of suffering remains entirely invisible to the global consumer, a highly engineered, systemic blindness maintained by a sophisticated apparatus of modern propaganda, corporate public relations, and psychological distraction.

The non-persecuted finds it easy to not comprehend the sheer volume of suffering of human life. I mean, it's easy to look past the billions in uniquely abhorrent experiences just to keep the world running-- because you live a comfortable life, because you live a safe life. You say "this is the world", without actually perceiving it.

We become naive, desensitized, biased, and unwise from the high-dopamine inducing mediums we consume, overstimulating our brains whilst we remain unaware. We surround ourselves with songs/entertainment that fill us with confidence and disillusionment. We force ourselves to stay comfortable, when we shouldn't be.

To understand the world as it breathes and bleeds on May 4, 2026, you must perform a violent act of intellectual deconstruction. You must tear away the silk veil of modern comfort --the curated digital echo chambers of funny reels and videos on the internet, the high-speed convenience, and the sanitized historical narratives that suggest a steady, inevitable climb toward enlightenment.

If you look closely at the ground beneath your feet, you realize it is not soil, nor stone, nor the sturdy concrete of progress, but a complex, rigid, and flawed scaffolding of persecution. Even though a lot of us don't feel it cause they either don't allow themselves to, or they don't care enough to try (which is stupid).

It doesn't help that having personal problems has a stigma, with degrading and brain-dead "funny" tiktok videos and depression songs. People, communities, or mediums that make you think a certain way. You have to differentiate stupid or unwise from mental illness and personal problems, cause overlap isn't going to be there all the time.

The degradation of our conception on humanity is often radicalized and emphasized, creating individual ecosystems fueling particular ideologies that push them to believe: "This is the world", when in reality it is their own world. Sometimes the world is simplified and diluted to a fallacy. Sometimes, they look at one aspect of it and forget the actuality of its scaffolding.

Most people, take to one purview of the world: "The world is a competitive environment of business and money handling", "The world is a reliant and built on technology and engineering". They may also indulge in particular radicalizations. Some of them are exposed into "the glorification of pornography and sexual promiscuity" that it degrades their perceptions on rape and SA; often within echo chambers.

Others are lead into "black pill", or "red pill", or "hear me out" feeds on social media, causing them to have the motive to lose basic human empathy for anyone they deem "unattractive" or "lesser" by their judgement.

These people never truly see the world for what it truly is: Billions of complexities and intricacies within their tailored circumstances, caused by collages of miscellaneous systems and abstract concepts. To where billions are under extreme prejudice, oppression, and thousands upon thousands of factors that tie billions down.

To understand Freya’s experience is to understand the absolute reduction of the human being to mere disposable tissue. In the iconic cyberpunk film 964 Pinocchio, a brainwashed, lobotomized sex-cyborg is discarded when he malfunctions, his body transformed into a screaming, degenerating wetware machine of agonizing pain behind cruelty.

This sort of extremity is not science fiction, but the daily, lived reality of the trafficked. When human beings are stripped of legal status, political agency, and communal protection, they enter a state of total physical vulnerability.

This raw vulnerability connects Freya's modern ordeal directly to historical and systemic horrors, such as the 200,000 comfort women forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese military during World War II, of whom ninety percent were systematically tortured and abused to death. It mirrors the agonizing domestic and gang-inflicted captivity seen in notorious cases like those of Junko Furuta, Sylvia Likens, Kelly Anne Bates, or Elisabeth Fritz, where the victim’s body ceases to be treated as a conscious human life and is instead repurposed as a canvas for unchecked, sadistic control.

This extraction even extends to the dark corners of the millions of 100% real torture videos on the internet, where legacy shock sites like BestGore.com once functioned as digital coliseums, commodifying real-world disfigurement and fatal violence for passive consumption, turning actual physical agony into a detached online spectacle.

If hundreds of millions of people are currently enduring similar visceral, physical, psychological, and humanitarian horrors through the thousands of systems that hold them down, the global public remains profoundly indifferent because of a multi-layered psychological and cultural filter designed to keep the consumer comfortable, compliant, and blind. The very institutions and supply chains that benefit from systemic poverty and under-regulated labor markets use public relations to project an illusion of absolute cleanliness.

Multinationals invest billions in corporate social responsibility campaigns, greenwashing initiatives, and ethical consumer certifications to reassure the public that their clothing, electronics, and food are ethically sourced. In reality, these certifications act as a corporate firewall, shifting the blame to opaque, untraceable subcontractors in developing nations while keeping the parent company’s image pristine.

This structural blindness is reinforced by the modern attention economy, which actively deprioritizes deep, systemic horror in favor of fleeting, self-referential engagement. Silicon Valley algorithms are explicitly optimized to feed users content that triggers mild dopamine loops or highly performative, low-effort outrage.

Visceral, systemic atrocities --like the daily reality of child labor in cobalt mines, the physical trauma of sex trafficking in regional tourist hubs, or the devastating human cost of resource extraction-- are systematically shadowbanned, demonetized, or filtered out under the guise of sensitive content guidelines.

The result is an online landscape that is hyper-connected yet completely decoupled from real-world human suffering, allowing us to scroll past the margins of global misery without ever having to feel its weight.

At a deeper level, the public actively participates in its own deception because the alternative is too terrifying --or rather bothersome-- to confront. To recognize that our cheap clothing, high-speed smartphones, and affordable services are directly subsidized by the physical destruction of people like Freya requires a devastating reassessment of our own lives. It is infinitely easier to treat these atrocities as isolated, true-crime anomalies --monstrous exceptions to an otherwise functional world-- than to admit they are the predictable, structural outcomes of our socio-economic/socio-political system.

By isolating these horrors into sensationalized true-crime stories or treating them as rare, historic aberrations, we actively protect the systems that produce them. Freya’s scars, the hundreds of thousands of modern slaves in the Philippines, and the fifty million slaves/hundreds of millions of pseudo-slaves trapped in forced labor globally are not errors in the global machine, but the very fuel that keeps it running.

While profit shouldn't be the only measure of success, we all want to get more successful within our economic state.

Here's the basics on how to get richer.

It has heavy ties with "the complexities" series.

Money trees I: Understand the system that openly fights against you, beat it and profit.

Money trees II: Do it to be happier and not to fuck up the planet or human dignity, dumbass.

Money trees III: Money was never the end goal.

I'll probably get back to things in september

These playlists make listening to "the complexities" more fun:

1. Wake up, Mr. Freeman.

2. The revolution is not going to be televised.

This contains everything I want to say about the Epstein files, the socio-political elites, and systems of propaganda.

It coincides with these philosopies:

1. Memetics/memetic warfare - Gunnar J. Mitchell, Keith Henson, Jeff Giesea, Peter Pomerantsev

This series has heavy ties with: universe 26, and the complexities

They have controlled you I: You are sheep.

They have controlled you II: Don't wanna be an American idiot.

These playlists make listening to "the complexities" more fun:

1. Wake up, Mr. Freeman

2. The revolution is not going to be televised.

The complexities is my case study for the multifaceted nature of the systems behind poverty.

It has heavy ties with the "money trees" series, and the "universe 26" series.

The complexities I: People want to work, it's not laziness it's just becoming harder and harder to become successful.

The complexities II: The systems are unfair, and there are A LOT OF SYSTEMS.

The complexities III: Some people are stupid enough to support these systems.

And no, there is no cult. There are just evil people running the world, and they will always thrive if the system isn't abolished and replaced with something new.

Phemenology of the spirit - Friedriche Hegel

SOURCE GROUP II: LINGGUISTICS INSPIRATION SOURCES

-Sin in shame starts off subtle. Sin started when humans doubted the beauty within themselves. God still loves you.

-Genesis 2: 25, Adam and Eve felt no shame because they were known yet loved by God, and they knew that. Until they were tempted by the devil to eat the fruit. They felt disgusted by themselves, and that they had no right to be loved for what they did or who they were.

-Take inventory of the voices you allow. The devil tempts, and he tries to take over your mind. Now whose voice will you allow? Of course, it is God's and not the devil's.

-We are a generation that conjures to draw near God, and not doubt. We should know God's character. God is for us, and He is loving. God would still love you, and is always wanting and welcoming for you to come back to Him.

He loves you, thus He gives you chances to go back to the things meaningful.

-People have things they feel shame for. The lie shame tells us is that we are unworthy, unimportant, and unlovable. That we aren't something we can mend, and work on according what is true and righteous.

-Who told you, that you were naked? Or worthless? Or unimportant? Or unlovable? To be scared of all of that? God still loves you.

-God is asking for you, to accept and to come to Him even with your failures. God wants to see you. Even if you're scared, you're safe.

-God is a God who relieves, restores, and believes in who you are.

-Not everything is meaningful, but we can always do what's righteous. To come back to Him, and accepting who He is just as much as He has you.

-You are worthy, and you are not a worthless child. The fact there is some potential for something meaningful within you, for you, and from what you can do is by some measure beautiful.

-God made man, and said it was good.

-We must help and nurture one another.

-Let us strive harder to love God, and follow him. Take him seriously.

Just because you're right, doesn't mean the other side is wrong. Just because you lose, doesn't mean part of what your argument had didn't have truth that bleeds into further discussion.

It also covers how notions are radicalised and emphasized, to make them fallacious. Sometimes they become so radical they become opposite/contradictory to it's original ideological truth. It covers how one lie in a trillion truths can infect it. It covers how notions move like waves under a current.

There are thousands of possibilities to how notions and ideologies can contort and expand throughout debate, that tells a story to how notions are concerned as an abstract malleability.

It is inspired by these philosophical references:

1. Hegelian Dialectics & Idealism - Friedrich Hegel, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, F. H. Bradley

2. Classical Formal & Categorical Logic - Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, Gottlob Frege

   
   

3. Pragmatism & Conceptual Engineering - Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, Willard Van Orman Quine

-Sex is a gift made for the intimate relations of a married woman and man.

-Before intimacy and marriage, you need to know responsibility.

-God gave Adam a "helper" (Ezer kenegdo) since it's unfit for someone to be alone.

-Ezer kenegdo means "someone who is perfectly fit for you".

-Sex is a big deal for God, it's a big thing because it has big consequences and big blessings.

-Sex is a beautiful thing.

-Sex is not about pleasure or about feeling good, it's about experiencing the beautiful intimacy of two people in tandem and "one flesh"-- pleasure comes from what that beauty implies for both of you.

-Ted Bundy raped 30 women and killed them, and he said that he was filled with thoughts of lustfulness and narcissistic selfish thoughts. One of which was pornography.

It's altogether better to acknowledge that sex isn't about oneself's selfish sexual urges and fantasies, but what both can intimately condone for one another in "one flesh".

-Enduring the pain of sexual purity is worth it to endure rather than getting into sexual impurity.

-Our body is a temple of the holy spirit

-Our spiritual walk and our physical life walks hand and hand.

-We are borrowing this body, and then God purchased us with the blood of Jesus. Thus you are special.

-If you borrowed anything from someone, you must take care of it like a perfect father. Now if we're borrowing this body from God, how are we going to return it to Him? By sexual purity.

-Sexual immorality: Any sexual activity and desire (mind and heart) that is outside the boundaries of traditional marriage.

Like: green jokes and sexual innuendos, beastiality, fornication, incest, etc.

-Know your triggers.

Emotional triggers: loneliness, isolation, boredom, etc.

Environmental triggers: unmonitored screen time, compromising situations like being with someone.

-There's a never ending battle, flesh Vs

spirit.

-Purity is not about abstinence, it's about pursuance.

-Stay connected, be accountable. Iron sharpens iron, so does one man sharpens another. The devil attacks isolated individuals, this you should stay connected. When you stay in the dark, the dark wins. You can't do it alone, admit that.

-Make your not now, not ever list. If your weakness is pornography, list down things you wont do; like not bringing your phone to the toilet.

-Remember your value (identity). You are a child of God. Remember you are not a disposable vessel of God, you are a Rolls Royce made in the image of God.

-Don't get test driven and don't test driven others, they are also Rolls Royces.

-Enjoy sex in the sanctity of marriage. It is a beautiful thing meant for something special.

-Know your purpose, sanctify your essence to live by Him.

-Purity is not the way we act, it's our entire conversation.

-If Jesus asked you: "Do you love me more than porn?".

-Our goal is to be salt and light on to this world. Do we walk our talk? The way we view others? The way we respect? The way we respond?

How about the way we attract? It's not about saying "Hey, what a great guy he is!". Nah, it's about "Hey, what a great God he has".

-Do you think God plays favourites? Every one of us, all humans, are His favourites. Despite the grace and hardships given to a girl who went through so much pain, there is always something to believe in for the grace of God.

-Our extraordinary God is an incomparable God who can only do what only He can do. God is kind, He is extra kind. God is good, He is extra good. He is extraordinary.

-Experience our extraordinary God through faith, it is the only way.

-We are saved by faith. Sanctified by faith. Justified by faith.

-Wuthout faith, it is impossible to please Him. The only way to please God is to believe in an almighty, all-good God.

-We must believe that God is good, because sometimes we don't. If you doubt His goodness, how are you going to devote yourself to Him?

-If You're riding a plane, you're putting your faith in the pilot. You are putting faith in the water, food, and medicine you consume. Faith always has an object

-God wants us to be an extraordinary, abundant life. Not necessarily material abundance, but happiness and contentment. Reaching the top of your career or goals, isn't necessarily abundant but can be empty. God wants us to be abundant.

-God promised that He truly, through His own will, wants us to be abundant. At the end of the day, even if we go through trials. Deep down there are other factors to consider under God's wisdom.

-Elijah the Tishbite, was an ordinary man. Still, He spoke for God and did something extraordinary: He said there won't be rain unless he said so. He was given a privilege to fulfill his prayers.

-Elijah had an nature like ours, except what made him unique was that he was prayerful.

-He prayed for months, and one day there was rain under his notice.

-Faith is by LOTS

L-isten

O-bey

T-rust

S-upplicate

-The word of the Lord came to him, and gave him instructions. The most wanted person was Elijah. God told him to hide, and God gave him water to drink by the brook and a raven to give him food.

-Faith comes by hearing. God tells you to listen to eat what is good, give yourself abundance, and come to Him. Basically, God tells you that wasting your life away in working and slaving away without enjoying life isn't what he wants.

-Surrender your will. When you come before him, surrender yourself to what God really wants. Accept His will with an open heart, not simply by your predisposed wants. If He doesn't want it, accept that fact.

-Gods will won't contradict God's word. Gods spirit will never contradict God's word.

-Do you believe the Bible is the word of God? Yet do you read the bible and have completed it? If you really believed it's the word of God, you would read it and follow His instruction.

-7 people died instantaneously when communication with people wasn't good, in the launch of a NASA spacecraft. If you want to experience the extraordinary life of God you must LISTEN and then OBEY.

-Now you must obey. When Elijah obeyed he was fed in abundance by the raven and brook.

-Notice he was given food moment by moment, morning and evening. The brook dried up.

So God went to him and said go to a widow at Zeraphath --the lowest class of people at the time-- to take care of him. Which at the time was hard to trust because Zeraphath was very far from him (one week of walking).

Sometimes obedience doesn't make sense, but if you want to experience an extraordinary life. Trust in Him.

-The bible doesn't guide us like a flashlight at a dark road, He guides us step by step, bit by bit.

-Elijah went to the widow to give him food and something to drink, which takes a lot of faith because it's difficult to ask a stranger randomly-- especially a widow.

-To obey is to have faith, to have faith is to obey. Don't say you have faith if you don't obey or believe.

-The widow then said she had no bread, only a handful of materials she wants to use for her son or they could die. So it took a lot of faith for both of them to trust God, despite their circumstances.

-The principle is this, you obey God one step at a time. The preacher's wife was successful who obeyed God by quitting her job and became a campus missionary because she wanted to follow, obey, and love God. God provided step by step, it wasn't quick to garner money and resources.

-The preacher, followed God step by step also. By restraining himself from temptation and was given to his future wife. Which was a beginning of a very abundant (happy) life.

-Elijah had to learn to trust. Elijah had to trust and say "Take of me first, widow". So even if it seems like a kapal ng mukha moment, it was God who told them both so they trusted. So Elijah was like "Yes, you have nothing but give me food and trust God".

-They trusted God, since to live an extraordinary life is to have faith.

-Do she did what God and Elijah said, and magically the bowl was never emptied and they are for many days.

-There are promises from God, that you wont experience unless you obey. Yet some don't obey because of fear and compromise. The secret to live an extraordinary life is to have faith.

-After this the faith of Elijah was growing. Then God sent him to the worst king that wanted him dead, the king's name was Ahab. Elijah went to Ahab and Ahab was like "IS THIS YOU??".

-Elijah then rebuked the king and stood before God. Which took a lot of courage and faith.

-King Ahab was known for killing prophets and believing in false prophets. He was also worshipping a false idol called Baal.

-Elijah was like "How long would you take to choose between God and Baal?". The people were hesitating between God and Baal.

-You can't choose between idolizing something else, and having to choose between that and God. You have to decide who is going to be your God, Jesus or something else. You have to choose between Jesus or yourself.

-Baal was the god for fire, so Elijah dared a challenge to call on the name of Baal to set fire to a blazer. The people prayed and cut themselves to Baal and cried, there was no voice. Nothing happened.

Elijah then prayed to let them know who the true God was, and turn them back. The fire of the lord fell and lit up the wood and the stone was dust.

-The people were all praising and praying to God.

-Elijah said there would be rain but then it didn't rain. Then Elijah prayed since God said there would be rain, it didn't happen initially but he kept praying and eventually there was rain.

-Prayer is aligning with God's will, Elijah was not responsible for the rain itself but for God's intent. God is not a transactional God under the name of our own hearts, but under hHis perfect will.

-Thus Keep praying and keep having faith, even if things don't happen initially but go with the flow under God's will. Keep praying, even if you think some people are hopeless nobody is hopeless under God.

-Jezebel was one of the worst wives in the bible, he was controlling the husband. Ahab told Jezebel that he had killed a lot of the Israelites.

-Elijah got scared of a Jezebel after that. He became depressed, suicidal, and was like "I'm scared of that girl and I want you to take my life, I might die".

-How many of you feel discouraged after all your victories? Even if you had won a lot of battles, we can still lose under it all and doubt our faith.

-God was like "I literally showed you my power and you doubt me?" Yet God is a extra gracious and extra merciful God. So God sent an angel to feed him and take care of him, and aid him under his weakness.

-Our failure doesn't limit God for His purpose.

-God passed by, and there was a personal encounter with God. A lot of earthquakes, fire, and wind happened but he was not there, and then came a gentle breeze and silence God was there.

-God embraced Him, and was like "What are you doing here, Elijah?" and showed him love and care. Then told Elijah to go back and return.

-God might tell you "What are you doing? Go back and serve me".

-Elijah was anointed prophet, Elijah followed God. God gave him a chariot (the preacher said it was a BMW) to heaven and was one of the few people who didn't die. His garments went radiant, and later on in the Bible (along with Moses) met with Jesus.

-Has there been anything that ruined your peace? Sometimes we overthink too much when there's overwhelming situations. You think of all the permutations and say "How can I fix this?"

-The Assyrians were known as powerful and they were like "Your God cannot save you" to king Hezekiah. So he took the letter and sent it before God.

-It's best to know who to send your fears and worries to the one it's best to give it to (God). Like sometimes we don't know what would happen in the future because of current circumstances.

We shouldn't send it somewhere else, but before God. Still sometimes we do, like people and such.

-It's a good example that king Hezekiah sent it to God not to ask for a certain outcome immediately, but to vent out and address his worries to God.

Imagine that problem and imagine how big our God is, which we need to practice. Sometimes we think our problem is so loud, that we forget who God is. It's best to know how great and expansive our God's power and provision is before we look at our problems' weight alone.

-It's best to ask God, even when we doubt that God hears you. Surrender it first to God with a prayer, even if it's not a perfect prayer.

-If the prayer format is to intimidating, let's imagine it as a conversation with God instead of an amazingly made essay. It should be honest, it should be raw and for the best interest of your heart under God's purview.

In the friction of public debate, opposing sides can simultaneously hold distinct fragments of a single reality, and even when an argument loses its dominance, its core insights often bleed into and reshape the victor's narrative.

This fluid evolution carries a profound vulnerability: Misunderstanding that fluid abstraction of truth. When an ideology's valid core premise is overemphasized and radicalized, it frequently collapses into a fallacious, self-contradictory version of itself.

Concepts such as feminism, masculinity, homosexuality, and religion demonstrate how ideological notions move like waves under a deeper social tide, proving that a single corrupting premise can infect a vast ecosystem of truth and transform a noble pursuit into its own opposite, a truth-turned-fallacy, or a misunderstanding of how it became truthful in the first place.

Not all are under the notice of misunderstanding these ideologies, but there are quite a loadsome.
