Grounded Excellence

saltotheearth:

The remedy to most all Feminist critiques of the modern man is not less masculinity, it is more traditional masculinity.

Replace the man-cave with a study, fast money with hard work, and womanizing with courtship and you’ve solved 4/5ths of all their gripes about the opposite-sex.

I Will now call to mind my past foulness, and the carnal corruptions of my soul, not because I love them, but that I may love You, O my God. For love of Your love do I it, recalling, in the very bitterness of my remembrance, my most vicious ways, that You may grow sweet to me — Thou sweetness without deception! Thou sweetness happy and assured!— and re-collecting myself out of that my dissipation, in which I was torn to pieces, while, turned away from You the One, I lost myself among many vanities. For I even longed in my youth formerly to be satisfied with worldly things, and I dared to grow wild again with various and shadowy loves; my form consumed away, and I became corrupt in Your eyes, pleasing myself, and eager to please in the eyes of men.
