Jesters

Leave a comment

Jester:

The Daily Discipline Over The Temptation Of The Flesh That Hinders Acceleration

Every man has his own personal Jester

The jester is a master liar. His 5 lies are

1. You Are The Boss Of Me – “you can stop me whenever you want”
2. You Are What You Do – the stumbling self is the real you
3. You Are (relatively) Not That Bad A Guy – is it really that bad?”
4. The Jester And Virtue Can Coexist – “yeah but”
5. You Can’t Live, If Living Is Without Me – “there is no hope”

But, Preparedness keeps the Jester at bay

“While I can never out-paddle my Jester, the faster my boat is Accelerating through the water the harder it is for him to capsize it.”

Don’t worry, stats are intact.

Backblasts are rarely read, and arguably aren’t serving the purpose they once did. Is that good? Bad? Neutral? They do serve a purpose, though, and so I will do it. Sort of.
