Puertas Percepción 20h ago

Folks like to connect sentiments with colours. They say, #green is the #colour of #hope. I find green and #blue elevating and inspiring. This #door and building remind me that a home is for #comfort and #safety. Inspiration from old fortifications -> safety. Grand spaces feel intimidating. When owned, one will defend out of #fear, not #pride, nor from a sense of #accomplishment. Small homes please with #comfort & a sense of #belonging.

A quotation from Herman Hesse

Now the bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self (rudimentary as his may be). And so at the cost of intensity, he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he does comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire. The bourgeois is consequently by nature a creature of weak impulses; anxious, fearful of giving himself away and easy to rule. Therefore, he has substituted majority for power, law for force, and the polling booth for responsibility.

[Der Bürger nun schätzt nichts höher als das Ich (ein nur rudimentär entwickeltes Ich allerdings). Auf Kosten der Intensität also erreicht er Erhaltung und Sicherheit, statt Gottbesessenheit erntet er Gewissensruhe, statt Lust Behagen, statt Freiheit Bequemlichkeit, statt tödlicher Glut eine angenehme Temperatur. Der Bürger ist deshalb seinem Wesen nach ein Geschöpf von schwachem Lebensantrieb, ängstlich, jede Preisgabe seiner selbst fürchtend, leicht zu regieren. Er hat darum an Stelle der Macht die Majorität gesetzt, an Stelle der Gewalt das Gesetz, an Stelle der Verantwortung das Abstimmungsverfahren.]

And he presented it to the Corinthian Christians to provide them a framework through which they could understand their recent experiences of grief, shame, and repentance, so they might find #comfort and #joy in the resolution of it all.

We can appreciate what Paul has done and find ways to apply it to our own lives of faith so we might be able to well contextualize grief, distress, and pain and the comfort and joy that comes in the morning.
