It feels like we're undergoing "faith titration" where only those with the most faith (from discernment and diligence?) refuse to buckle to despair as "the precipice" approaches.
Speaking as a strict orthodox hedonist, I don't plan to have anything less than fun at any point in this journey, no matter how hard or uncomfortable it becomes.
It is rare I have to look up a word these days. Glad you introduced me to titration. Brother you are spot on. I live so serenely these days. I have unlimited faith.
