for lack of a better name

*cracks open moldered door*

I've never had good self-discipline. In the back of the mind I always knew essays were the best way to retain information passed through words, and so commenced to write a form of essays on thoughts and perspective via blog. Consistently writing takes discipline, even as natural for some, with whom I'd like to include myself were it not so obvious that's not quite the reality. While the bent to write isn't so inherently strong that I write anything anywhere, a desire is harbored. Kept afloat with a flicker of ambition.

Becoming more disciplined is- once again- part of what initiates such a return to old grounds. The ambition to retain information and build a solid worldview on top as the primary reason. Ignorance is a large contributor to poor worldview, and information retention a large contributor to ignorance.

Have you believed something you could not easily explain to a friend? Lived a social norm differently for strong reasons and failed to recap when asked the sensibility of why?

I have.

And grown a healthy distaste bordering on hatred for apathetic worldview and assumptions of self-validity. This, protected by catching explanatory attempts in spur-of-the-moment summation, through manipulative wordplay rather than idea; falling back into the impenetrable cloud of built-up wordage and confusion, through failure to grasp concepts. Feigned or not.

I've never had good self-discipline. And that is something needed to consistently retain information, draw conclusions from that, build worldview upon those, and live out this strong and clear worldview. I do not wish to be the world, which fails to fully acknowledge the absolute of everything partaken, deciding their own character. The mind from which action spills out, is not something changed by one decision. By repetition, denial, allowance. By all intake is the mind slowly reworked, and no amount of willpower can sway in one moment what months in advance has ingrained. Apathy and the easy way out leads degradation of the mind to worldview entirely functioning out of feeling for the moment.

1 Peter 3:13-17
"Now who is there to harm you if you re zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil."
