One-person? I suppose you expect me to spend hours hunting down links that you will promptly ignore. This isn't my first day on the internet.
Look, you can just stop now. You're never going to convince me, because I've experienced too much and seen too much, watched too many of my friends and family go through much worse than I. And I understand that you'll never acknowledge that I should have any option but to throw myself into the gears of the machine and be glad to be sacrificed for someone else's beliefs, goals, or convenience.
So just let it go.
I provided you with an immediate link which you promptly ignored. It goes both ways. I'm sure you're a nice guy who does a lot of people good deeds, and that is in and of itself commendable. It is just a shame that's where it ends within you.
I'm not a Nice Guy. I'm principled, the one does not equal the other.
I don't mean nice guy like the green day song, I mean I'm sure you are trying to do the right thing, but things aren't working out for you. Many people in my life that I know have very similar stories. They call me lucky. Well, I guess my entire extended family and all of their family's are just "lucky" and we had no part to play in the way our lives have gone. I guess we're all just a lucky cog in wheel of life. Maybe you can catch my hint of sarcasm. With a few exceptions, my family has done really well in this world of good families. We aren't lucky, we have a large single minded goal. We seek to leave our offspring with a better life than what we had. We seek God's glory (though we don't all believe the exact same things), we seek his blessings for our communities. We let these desire manifest in a physical way to bless those around us. No one in my family is divorced. Cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, siblings. This isn't luck, there's more to it than that. Yes, I am blessed to have such an extended family, and yes, not everyone can have that kind of family. To say they don't exist is a lie, to say they are just lucky is narrow minded. No family is that "lucky". Just a bunch of whacky dutchies, living a middle class life in the midwest. My family is not wealthy, we are not cabal to have this kind of life, we are just God-fearers. You too can have this. Maybe not exactly this, but you can start it, it's a personal choice and responsibility.
That's also sad and pathetic that you refuse to have the ability to change. I pity that about you.
Again, sounds like you're a nice guy, but that doesn't cut it.
If you came here and said that you struggled with porn addiction, but this is how you justified it to yourself, this convo would have gone a lot differently.
Keep leaning on counters.
You have no concept of the amount of change I've undergone in my life. Hell, just the last 10 years.
I don't struggle with porn. I can't tell you the last time I even watched it. It's been over a month. I've got plenty of other things to occupy my time. The yard and house won't maintain themselves, nor will the bass and trout catch themselves.
You're right that I don't know, but still, look at how you, and what you, recommended to people. Are you actually helping them? Or are you leading them down a downward spiraling path?
Fishing, yard work, house work, are all much more noble a task.
