Forgot what it was, I mean i was.

Lazy man falls prey to poverty

Ridiculously indolent[1] and lover of sleep,[2] the lazy man sees lions all over the street[3](overestimating the difficulty of getting a job or working). ; his desires ″kill″ him[4] because ″his hands refuse to labour″,[5] and his path becomes a ″hedge of thorns″[6] ... while he is wiser than seven sensible men in his own eyes.[7] .... His household becomes a real ruin[8] and he falls prey to his ″want″(scarcity) coming like an armed man and in the end to poverty, coming upon him like a robber.[9] The sluggard (lazy man) will share this fate with the talkative persons, with dreamers that ″watch the wind″ or ″regard the clouds″[10] and with those who ″chase fantasies″ (follow worthless pursuits).


The lazy man leaves God's gifts unused

The wicked,[20][21] worthless servant.[22] that buries his talent in the ground, instead of investing the money with the banker, i.e. one who disregards God's gift, leaving it unused, is also lazy.[23] His talent will be taken from him and will be given to the one who has 10 talents and the worthless servant is thrown into the darkness of hell, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [24] (the entire parable of the talents here)


Despair

Despair (Latin, Tristitia) In this context, is the precipitating cause of suicide. Feelings of hopelessness, despondency, pessimism and impending doom, were not the same as the condition, melancholy. "If the man be bereft, give him solace. If he be in physical torment, give him medicine. If he be to the desire of death, give him hope. Reason, encouragement, and faith bring hope, therefore, use them liberally." (Francis of Assisi). Since sadness often results in acedia, Pope Gregory's revision of the list subsumed Despair into Acedia.


Acedia (Latin, acedia) (from Greek ακηδία) is the neglect to take care of something that one should do. It is translated to apathetic listlessness; depression without joy. It is similar to melancholy, although acedia describes the behaviour, while melancholy suggests the emotion producing it. In early Christian thought, the lack of joy was regarded as a wilful refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world God created; by contrast, apathy was considered a refusal to help others in time of need.

When Thomas Aquinas described acedia in his interpretation of the list, he described it as an uneasiness of the mind, being a progenitor for lesser sins such as restlessness and instability. Dante refined this definition further, describing acedia as the failure to love God with all one's heart, all one's mind and all one's soul; to him it was the middle sin, the only one characterised by an absence or insufficiency of love.


Wrath (Latin, ira), also known as "rage", may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Wrath, in its purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Wrath may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and vigilantism.

Wrath is the only sin not necessarily associated with selfishness or self-interest (although one can of course be wrathful for selfish reasons, such as jealousy, closely related to the sin of envy). Dante described vengeance as "love of justice perverted to revenge and spite". In its original form, the sin of anger also encompassed anger pointed internally rather than externally. Thus suicide was deemed as the ultimate, albeit tragic, expression of hatred directed inwardly, a final rejection of God's gifts.

It's so relieving
To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing
To hear that you're asking whenever you get your way
It's so soothing
To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad(x2)
I miss the comfort in being saddd-aaaddd-aaaddd-aaaddd yeah....

In her false witness, we hope you're still with us,
To see if they float or drown
My favorite patient, a display of patience,
Disease-covered Puget Sound
She'll come back as fire, And burn all the liars,
leave a blanket of ash on the ground

I miss the comfort in being sad(x2)
I miss the comfort in being saddd-aaaddd-aaaddd-aaaddd yeah....

It's so relieving
To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing
To know that you're asking wherever you get your way
It's so soothing
To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad(x2)
I miss the comfort in being saddd-aaaddd-aaaddd-aaaddd yeah....

Watching this incubus dvd has me thinkning about my own actions and how I need to grow up. well, grow.. perhaps. I've been acting like a headless chicken with my career choices. First, I wanted to be underground, and not sell music. Now, I know it's time for me to grow and expand my base, as far as wealth. Shit, we deserve it (speaking of my mom). Plus, I got financial responsibility now, shits crazy.. and being judged is always the official tip of I feel good cause i'm not you syndrome for everyone around you. It gets draining... really draining... especially when it comes from everybody. It's just time to expand and move on to bigger and better things. I'm ready to indie tour now, do this shit myself and push my shit out there. I'm getting performance songs ready and stopping this ignorant simpleton style of an adult i've been being. Plus, whatever I speak, I speak into existence, soooooo yeah. It's gonna be a new and improved Vanny, ready to take on the world. And not only that, prosper.. Beating the world, way more then it ever beat me.... And believe me, it's been alotta stones thrown, but like a man, i'll fight face to face with the opposition till i'm the victor. Salute. Salute to growth and warmth, peace

Transmission of Awakening

In order to succeed, you have to sacrifice that which takes you away from the inner work. You don’t need to sacrifice sex, that would be stupid. You don’t have to sacrifice money, you only need to sacrifice what which disturbs your growth. You have to sacrifice everything which takes you away from the State of Presence. In truth, what you need to sacrifice is your own forgetfulness.

— Aziz Kristof

Truth rhyming and the parting.

"There were a number of different reasons. But partly, the support system that I needed was not necessarily in place. There were things about myself, personal-growth things, that I had to go through in order to feel like it was worth it. In fact, as musicians and artists, it's important we have an environment — and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the [music] industry, that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society, or at least some aspect of society. And it's important that people be given the time that they need to go through, to grow, so that the consciousness level of the general public is properly affected. Oftentimes, I think people are forced to make decisions prematurely. And then that sound radiates."
