The West is dying.
There is a fundamental failure that has occurred before in ages past and is now occuring in the West again. Our women have been told a lie, that they can be both good workers and good mothers at the same time.
It isn't true.
It is an appeal to female vanity because of a very gross deficiency of masculinity. To make up the deficiency, we coddle females into our beds. The result is a degeneration of the family and the traditional ties that bind the nuclear family into union.
This lack of humility is going to kill us all.
First, is to face the shadow, the true propensity for evil that we all (humans) have.
If you don't know how evil you can be (your shadow) you're not good, you're just harmless.
To face the shadow is to confront the evil in ourselves. To defeate it and integrate it into our whole being is another thing entirely, and requires a submission to an objective truth that both harms and strengthens our ego at the same time.
However, God doesn't force us till we submit to it.
In another sense, true evil doesn't reveal itself until the last/perfect moment. True malevolence is intentional, it's not erratic, it is very strong, very talented, all teeth, predatory eyes and glee, (possibly the worst combination) that which says "I'm going to eat you and it's going to make me very happy".
That's insanity.
To move forward, we have to have a goal.
Oftentimes the road and the steps towards a particular goal will not reveal themselves until after the right questions are asked.
For instance if the question "what is lying" is never asked speaking truth doesn't appear as a distinction, we don't know where to go.
In Holy Scripture the Apostle Paul points out that the law brings death because if the law hadn't said "do not covet" we wouldn't know what coveting is. The right question has to be asked before the answers will be revealed. We often have the answers to particular questions without realizing it because we haven't asked the question. To "see" means to have the objective before us, to be conscious of the goal in mind.
That said, in the broader context of our culture, the vitality of the West is seeping out because of this lack of frankness.
And we don't have much time left.
So face your fears, accept the burden, grow strong and move forward.
