Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it

The worst thing for me personally about this whole current situation in England is that it is pushing me to be someone I don't like being. I don't like taking extreme stances on various social aspects.

My nature is believing that every soul is salvageable, and to convince people, with as much love and tough love where needed, towards your side of thinking. Learn from their perspective to help you self reflect as often as possible. And not to be too prescriptive because everyone have different journeys and their own life experiences have led them to look at things differently. So, you need to give enough space.

But no longer do we have the ground to take such Christian approach in full earnest. We are being forced to present ourselves too harshly because our adversaries are trying to take advantage of our good nature. I want to remain conscious. That in the process it doesn't take me too far away from myself. That my soul is not corrupted.

This is the worst aspect I find. It is making the people here act out of character. They don't really want to which is why we see so much reluctance from the silent majority as well. It is not in their nature. But they are being forced to act out. And the more government and other public authorities keep ignoring people and pushing people to a corner, the more they will act out of character. And I fear it will push many to do things they would later regret.

This is what I dislike the most. The English are nice people and they are pushing them to the extreme. And it will ruin everyone's relationship with each other. This for me is the highest crime of the far left. And this is the reason why for more than a year now I have been telling people to go back to your churches. Because now more than ever you can't just rely on traditions being passed down becoming part of your nature, you have actively be connection with your traditions and understand your core values so that you have the opportunity to self reflect on your nature often.

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."

“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”
