I’ve found that the best deterrent for harboring strong negative emotion towards anything without good cause is the fact that whatever I decide I like least inevitably ends up becoming Very Spiritually Important:
- “Of all animal classes, birds are my least favorite” BOOM YOUR MAIN DEITY IS A CROW WE HOPE YOU LIKE FEATHERS EVERYWHERE
- “Math legit gives me anxiety” WHOOPS YOUR RELIGIOUS PRACTICE IS PREDICATED ON ASTROPHYSICAL FUNDAMENTS
- “Okay but of all the common weapons I like spears the least” SURPRISE BITCH HAVE SOME SPEAR-RELATED MYSTERIES
- “Childhood abuse and domestic violence have made me really anxious about confrontation and I hate it” LOL MAKE YOURSELF A LIGHTNING ROD FOR ASSHOLES WHILE YOU CRITICIZE YOUR RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY FOR REFUSING TO GET ITS SHIT TOGETHER OVER THESE SUBJECTS
Now when I catch myself being judgy I freeze up like my gods and spirits are leaning in conspiratorially, ready to take notes on how else they can push me to Deeply Uncomfortable self-improvement, like it’s the opposite of “then perish.”
“Four ugly years of philosophy and I think I hate Greek philosophy most” WELP TOO BAD BECAUSE TODAY THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE GONNA FIND SOME OF THE PRINCIPLES YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
