War.

Published on April 14, 2026

What is a war? It seems to be that in which transpires due to a lack of will to communicate, despite possessing a present capacity to do so. It also seems to be the imposition of will from one party on the other, with the use of violent force to realize some mission contingent condition and bring it to actuality. Irrational animals fight all the time in competition seeking dominance over another for territory, mating, food, etc. No one seems to think anything that is contrary to nature is happening when witnessing two Lions fighting. However, can the same be said of mankind to partake in these irrational casus belli? It is incredibly tragic, and a demonstration of an unwillingness to be rational, and reasonable in dealing with fellow human beings. It is a distortion of what we are called to be. If misunderstandings happen then humility, communication, clarification, and negotiations are the answer to living in harmony with others. Harmony does not mean the absolute extinction of one party by the other: but simply respecting, and coexisting, in opposition while acknowledging the differences between us. To deny this, or to insist on dominating, or annihilating, another party by force seems to be an act of evil. A just war then, is fought against the party that is totally unwilling to communicate at all, and has no ears to hear, but a bloodlust to bring destruction upon all. It is this adversary which must be stopped for the sake of maintaining peace and the common good will of all. Therefore, peace then, must be that in which any opposition is held in harmony, respect, and constant communication. This peace, in a polarized, volatile, and high-speed world, seems incredibly fragile to keep.

Decision.

Published on February 11, 2026

The fear of not making a decision, and thereby causing the suffering of others due to inaction, seems to be predicated upon a lack of trust, lack of service, and a lack of humility. The constraints that press upon a man to influence his sense of reason, while certainly helpful as guidelines, are suffocating constrictors for the leader who must act. The irony here is that in failing to read the implications of the present moment: the movements, the indicators, the disturbances, and the slow tide of chaos looming in the near distance, all seem to beg the necessity of courage being needed for action.

As it says in Proverbs that: there is wisdom in many counselors (Proverbs 15:22), so is it the assurance of the collective experience of who you collaborate with, that speak far greater gravitas, and truth, than what can be necessarily quantified, and demonstrated on a spreadsheet. We are either rational human beings, who collectively collaborate to overcome challenges together, or a bunch of dead husks working in silos: with blinders, earplugs, and cold hearts assumed to ignore the needs of our neighbor and prioritize the needs of our wallets.

Habit.

Published on December 7, 2025

It seems that we are what we are consistent with. It doesn’t take much effort to sit around doing nothing useful all day long, day in, and day out, all year, every year. It doesn’t take much effort, labor, or real struggle to sit around a couch and: watch TV, the football game, drink stupid amounts of beer with your stupid buds, skip Church on Sundays, not pray, play video games, and just be an all around lazy loser. These things don’t take effort, and in the end, one will suffer precisely what they acted.

Is it difficult to do the positive opposites of the aforementioned daily? Of course it is, but it is not that big of a deal to simply buckle down and get it done.

So what are you waiting for? Do you have a will of your own? If so, stop reading this blog, and go get it done.
