Anyone who does not see the vanity of this world is very vain himself. So who does not see it, apart from young people whose lives are all noise, diversions and thoughts for the future? But take away their diversions and you will find them bored to extinction. Then they see their nullity without recognizing it, for nothing could be more wretched than to be intolerably depressed as soon as one is reduced to introspection with no means of diversion. Blaise Pascal. Commentary: We are all teenagers at the core! Distractions seem to fix our soul! Whether work or play through this we can look away from our problems! We can feel better about ourselves if we can find someone a little worse off than me! My car is a little newer than yours! My house a little bigger than your house! My job pays better than your job! As the King of England said I am bored because there is no place else to go? Will some people be bored in heaven and others excited about hell? The woke movement is all about distractions real or imagined! Create a group of people to be despised and you have a perfect distraction away from yourself! Make them evil enough to take violence on them! Destructive ideologies over history are fueled by distractions from our own flaws! Satan told Adam and Eve God is a liar! Make God worse than we are and you have the perfect fire storm! The truth is God saw in us a value worth saving! For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son as a sacrifice for our sin! God is no fool to sacrifice his own life to save us! Some people blame God for all their troubles! They do not make him a distraction but simply dismiss him! Some pretend he does not exist! Darwinism! If we are honest and look deep within our soul we realize we need a Savior! God created us so we cannot exist without him! The void in our lives cannot be filled by ourselves or any distractions we can run to! Sooner or later we run out of distractions and have to look within our soul and see how bankrupt we are trying to live without the God that created us, loved us so much he made a way to save us in this life and the life to come!
