Hello all new visitors, check out this book:

I struggle to accept peace because I associate it with death while associating chaos and strife with life

I have had a lot of weird or awkward interactions with friends lately, both close and less close.

About 4 years ago my life changed a lot. One of the ways it changed was becoming much more devoted to and disciplined in physical endeavors and sports than I had been in quite some time. It was invaluable for my mental health after a lot of things that happened.

I believe that the human belief in God, in many ways, stems from our need for a stable sense of identity. We have a couple of different sources of identity: one is how we define ourselves, but that self-definition is inevitably filtered through our own insecurities, anxieties, aspirations, and the things we want to be. Nobody introduces themselves by saying, “Hey, I’m Bruce, and I’m weak, vain, selfish, and careless,” even though all of us, at times, have those traits and recognize them in ourselves and others.
