<2022-09-03T15:39:41.000Z> WoodshopHandman: Just logged in to check on the lads today and saw this and it's been something that I've been thinking about for a long time now. People tell me that I'm such a good person (or at least that I'm "nice") but the truth is that I'm a bad guy here. Whether it's the actions they don't see that I take to intentionally make things "worse" or the things they do see like being a wagie that does his job right, I know that this isn't a "good life" by any stretch. I don't think I'm living the way we are meant to, but the only path I can see to living the way we are meant to involves breaking laws and possibly making the lives of others significantly worse in the process. If fleeing to the woods with just the clothes on my back was a viable option, I'd do it, but that would probably wind me up in jail or worse here in modern society should I get caught. It's the most difficult problem I've come across and I still don't know the best way to approach it.
<2022-09-03T15:50:48.000Z> WoodshopHandman: I'm not very good at wording these things so sorry if that doesn't make much sense. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I have to openly acknowledge that I'm not a good guy by any measure because I don't see any path forward where I can truly be a "good person", even if my efforts and acknowledgement of that might set me above the others. It's a standards thing, I think.

<2022-09-06T00:03:19.000Z> WoodshopHandman: I get that but I'm increasingly worried that I wind up using my faith, my believe in that redemption, as an excuse to be worse. I constantly worry that I'm not doing enough, that I'm too lax on my own conscious sins because I believe that I can always be saved, that I can't see them with the weight they deserve. For that matter, there's so many cases in this modern world where I'm not sure if action or inaction is the sin. And of course the only people I feel I can reasonably discuss this sort of matter with are usernames online, so it really just feels like I'm left to the wilderness without a map most of the time. Sorry for venting like this lol I probably shouldn't dwell on it too much either way and just accept that whatever happens to me in the end happens for a reason but I was a real nerd growing up and thinking was kind of all I had so it's hard to let that habit go
