The Dark Hermit

A hermit in Gotham. Watching. Praying. Refusing the darkness its final word. ✝️
I unsubscribe to people, youtubers especially, who make statements like "I'm having the worse year of my life, but I'm not going to get into that." You opened the can of worms by bringing it up.

"I want to enact the memory of the Infant born in Bethlehem: to see with my own eyes the hardships of His infant needs, how He lay in a manger, and how, with an ox and an ass standing by, He rested on the hay." — St. Francis of Assisi (Greccio, 1223) 🕯️🐂✨ #StFrancis #Christmas

Naming things after yourself is especially pathetic when they’re quickly renamed once you’re out of office. #Trump

And everything he's named after himself will quickly be undone. Thank God!

Watching Pluto TV here in Chicago and a bank ad just popped up with an "AI Generated" watermark. Guess even the local banks are using bots for their commercials now. It actually looked decent, but that label is a trip. 📺🤖 #Tech #Chicago #PlutoTV

I've never been a fan of Santa Claus eclipsing the true meaning of the birth of Christ, but now I’m genuinely concerned that the Grinch is surpassing Santa in popularity.
​We’ve gone from a Holy Day, to a commercial holiday, to celebrating a character who literally hates the whole season. 🎄🤔 #Christ

Interesting press conference. I'd like to thank the people of NY for properly pronouncing Joliet. There is a real $ fine for calling it Jollyet. So irritating. www.facebook.com/FoxNews/vide...

Use the 4-4-4 technique (Box Breathing). It’s what first responders use in jeopardy.
​Inhale for 4 seconds.
​Hold for 4 seconds.
​Exhale for 4 seconds.
​The Result: It physically forces your nervous system out of "fight or flight" and back into "Reason." It is a silent prayer of self-possession.
The "Exile" Strategy: View your time in that house not as your "life," but as a temporary exile. When you step out into your third place, tell yourself: "This is the real world. That house is the anomaly." It helps stop their ignorance from becoming your definition of reality.
If God intervened to stop every act of ignorance or stupidity, human agency would cease to exist.

The Shield: Practice "Gray Rocking." Give short, non-committal answers ("Okay," "I see," "Mhm"). Don't try to educate them or argue with them—that just drains your reservoir of Reason.

Imagine you are a scientist studying a different species. When they do something ignorant or dangerous, instead of thinking "How can they do this to me?" think "There goes that specimen acting according to its nature again."

​One of the hardest parts of faith is separating the concept of God from the behavior of people who claim to represent Him (or just people in general).
