Hello, yes, as we enter the New Year and enjoy our time with Lia and Likers one and all I’d like to forward this wisdom that I felt particularly prudent to engaging with Lia’s performance but also the broader vtuber community/hobby/industry.
>Evagrios also said: "I do not condemn those who speak ill of me. Instead, I call them my benefactors, and I do not turn away the Physician of souls when He offers degradation as a medicine to the conceited soul. I fear lest it might be said of my own soul by the spirit of God: We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed' (Jeremiah 51:9). Since, then, our Lord is good, He has given to us holy commandments, analgous with our evils, which expunge our evils by cauterization and purgatives, It is, indeed, impossible for us to be delivered from our sickness in any other way, save by proper and appropriate therapies."
>Another time, the same Father said, "No one speaks falsely, except for him who praises and blesses me; and no one tells the truth, except for those who condemn me and insult me. And the latter do not tell the whole truth, since they do not know the hidden things of my heart. If they were to acquire the ability to know —let me not say all, but just a small part of - my evil deeds, surely they would dismiss me as slime, a foul odor, or an evil spirit. And even if the whole body of mankind were to become tongues, so as to accuse me for my shortcomings, it would not be possible to describe, to the extent deserved, my disgrace.
