*Cures your depression*
>just despise yourself worm
Like .01% of Catholics actually believe in the asceticism taught by this book
>>25457024IIRC it's not full on asceticism but more of a practical "be chill bro" manual.
>>25457041you are retarded
>>25457019This but unironically. You cannot appreciate how miraculous Grace and God's forgiveness are until you realise how utterly undeserving of them you are.
>>25456868The only cure for depression is a warm gun.
>>25457019>>25457476Self-pity is still VanityThe imitation of Christ is to Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength and to love your neighbor as you love yourself
>>25457451Read the part about not getting annoyed by the mistakes (honest) of others.It's just sane stuff.
>>25456868Real>>25457476Also real >>25457569Also also real
>>25457569Yeah I don't disagree. You need to understand your own depravity to understand the miracle of Grace, but any spiritual understanding carries a risk of vanity and pride.
>>25457574that doesnt mean anything you fucking midwit
>>25456868I feel like I do a good job of trying to put others before myself, and it has largely led to a self-image of patheticness. I am obviously doing something wrong. Something feels broken inside of me.
>>25457607>putting others before myselfYou're approaching it from the perspective of wanting to be a good person, e.g. instrumentalising it for your own benefit. It's not about you. It's about love.
>>25457630I don't really think I am, and I don't appreciate unfounded accusations of insincere motivation.
>>25457751I think he means why or the mechanism by "putting others before yourself", it's about appreciating life and humans themselves
>>25457588nta but ur gay lol
I read it and understood nothing. Just complete gibberish.
Further proof Christians on this board just use it as a pacifier to hold their anxieties about the world at bay
>>25461665Well understanding the fundamental nature of reality itself and acting it out is anxiety calming.
