Proverbs 3:11-15

My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline,
and do not resent his rebuke,
because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in.
Blessed are those who find wisdom,
those who gain understanding,
for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.

00:00Good morning everybody hope you're doing well. Wednesday January the 15th.
00:05So this is our morning devotional and thank you again for feeding me
00:09these Bible verses and let's chew into Proverbs 3 11 to 15.
00:16My son do not despise the Lord's discipline and do not resent his rebuke because the Lord
00:24disciplines those he loves as a father the son he delights in.
00:29Blessed are those who find wisdom those who gain understanding
00:35for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
00:41She is more precious than rubles nothing you desire can compare with her.
00:47Discipline. Discipline. What is the fundamental battle in the human mind and heart?
00:57We will talk about God and the devil but we can substitute if you want reason and domination
01:07virtue and aggression. So in the animal world it's win or lose dominate or be dominated.
01:21In the animal world the lion eats you or you get away. If you get away the lion is weakened.
01:31If you get away the lion is weakened. It's win-lose. The one the lion has expended energy risk
01:39maybe he's turned his ankle maybe he's pulled a muscle but he certainly has expended a lot of
01:44calories chasing you and is weaker next time. You are stronger because you have exercised your
01:50muscles to get away and most prey are pretty good at running. It's win-lose. In reproduction
01:59it's win-lose. If you fertilize the female as a male then the other males don't at least
02:09that cycle that round. If there are two competing groups of wolves for a particular
02:17prey wolf pack a eats a deer that deer is now unavailable to wolf pack b. It's win-lose.
02:25To lose is to die in the heart of the animal. If a lion consistently fails to capture prey as
02:35happens when lions get old then the lion dies. If the zebra fails to escape the lion the zebra dies.
02:46To win to lose is the essence. Life is life and loss is death. Which is why when you have this
02:55mindset and this is a very common mindset it really is the default position since we are more
03:01animal than human. We are more win-lose than win-win. We are more emotional than rational.
03:12And we could say this is because of the temptations of the devil or we can say because
03:16of the large part that evolution has taken to deliver us this tiny fragment of universal
03:22consciousness or the ability to process concepts that characterizes the very very top most part
03:30of our minds. But when you see people and I've seen this consistently over the course of my life
03:37I'm sure you've seen it too when you see people who fight to the death rather than admit they're
03:42wrong it's incomprehensible to me. I mean really it's incomprehensible to me. But it arises from
03:50the animal. It arises from the demonic. It arises from the perception which we evolved with. It
03:59arises from the perception that to lose is to die. In other words a differing opinion
04:07is like a tiger in the grass and if you admit fault you die. If you lose you die. This is why
04:15people take positions and defend them so violently and of course I say this with direct and personal
04:23knowledge of the countless times that I have given speeches with the people threatening to
04:32you know kill me destroy the platform bomb things you know that kind of stuff right.
04:36So why? Why? I'm just making arguments. I'm just giving perspectives.
04:41Why would people get so violent? Well because they are in the mindset of win-lose. If I win
04:52they feel that they will die therefore my perspective is a predator therefore since my
04:58perspective will in their minds quote kill them then they are justified in using self-defense
05:04against me. So the question of discipline is really important and this is why one of the
05:14things that troubled me in the past about sports and you know I got in trouble quote trouble I
05:21don't know what does it really mean right but way back in the day for talking about the difficulties
05:26I had with something like martial arts. Well martial arts trains people to use violence and
05:33it's win-lose. Now I get it's symbolic in the same way that sports is but it's win-lose. Now
05:40there's nothing wrong with win-lose that does happen in life as a whole in the market whoever
05:46is the most effective or efficient person in a particular role should get the job and if that
05:52person gets the job nobody else does. So if there are 50 people up for a really desired job
05:58then one of those people gets the job and 49 people don't get the job but because of that
06:07society wins as a whole right. It's the old argument that if you didn't have a rigorous
06:15process of figuring out who the best NBA players were and you just let
06:19any pot-bellied doofus throw the ball around there would be no NBA. So the fans would lose,
06:25the players would lose, the coaches would lose, the stadiums would lose, the ticket sellers,
06:31the swag sellers and so on right. So society wins in a meritocracy as a whole even though some people
06:41lose but they lose because they either lack the discipline or the talent or the ability to
06:49perform at the highest level right. Lots of people want to be singers but how many people can sing
06:55really well? Very few. So in the free market it is win-win and of course let's say that you want
07:03to be in the NBA but you're not very good at basketball you could you quote lose but that's
07:09because millions and millions and millions of people are happier right because who chooses
07:17the basketball players? Well not the owners. The owners don't choose the basketball players,
07:22it's the fans who choose the basketball players and if the fans wanted to watch mediocre basketball
07:27they could just watch the WNBA. I mean compared to the male right, the women are excellent
07:32with regards to female competition. So if you want to join the NBA and you are denied,
07:40it is because millions of people are happier that you're not playing on the NBA and you know
07:44somebody like Michael Jordan or Larry Berg or Bird or Shaq or whatever right. So in the free market
07:52it's win-win. Now of course there are individual losers in that right. I mean if you want to date
07:58some you'd really want to date some woman and she doesn't want to date you but instead date
08:02someone that she would be more compatible with then she and her partner end up happier. You're
08:09unhappier right? You're unhappier but two people are happier and as a result everyone around them
08:16is happier because they're not complaining about their relationship and their children are happier
08:21so then that happiness in society if the woman rejects you well you're sad obviously that's
08:26minus one but society as a whole is much happier including the children right because the children
08:35are happier in a happy marriage than they are of course in an unhappy marriage and a divorce is
08:40really bad right and of course a family that stays together keeps the housing prices down for everyone
08:46else. They're doing a massive social good right. I mean just as one example right they keep the
08:51commuting costs down. People always forget that when a man and a woman both work
08:58in a family what's one of the main reasons we have such bad traffic is the traffic system
09:03was designed for one family member driving to work and now we have two family members driving
09:08to daycare and to work and from work to daycare and back home so you get significantly more
09:14congestion right which is a social cost because people always say we should act to maximize the
09:21happiness in society it's a sort of a utilitarian argument right but the only way to know what
09:27actually maximizes the happiness in society is the free market because all voluntary transactions
09:33are win-win all voluntary transactions are win-win it doesn't mean you don't have regret
09:38good returns or whatever but in the moment of the transaction if it's voluntary it's because
09:42both people expect to be better off right if you go and buy a twenty thousand dollar car
09:48then the car dealership wants your twenty grand more than they want their car and you want the
09:52car more than you want your twenty grand so you're both better off. It's the only way to maximize
09:58happiness in society is to let the free market operate everything else is win-lose because
10:06everything else is someone using the power of the state to force a transaction which is not a
10:10transaction then but rather an exploitation so moving from the win-lose mindset the devilish the
10:21animal is very tough it's very tough especially if you're raised with a win-lose mindset
10:29I mean in general dads often maybe a bit more than moms will appeal to practicality some sort
10:38of virtue that's going to make you happier and some sort of positive outcome dads will appeal
10:43to some combination of virtue and self-interest a little bit more than moms who appeal to
10:49quote respect and obedience and so on right so dads in general are trying to tell you that
10:56if you follow their rules then you'll be better and happier whereas moms often say that if you
11:04cared about me you'd follow my rules which means that affection equals subjugation particularly in
11:09the minds of the sons but also of course significantly in the minds of the daughters
11:14that if you cared about me you'd do what I want oh so affection means that I am subjugated to your
11:19incomprehensible will so the battle is between very primitive win-lose the animalistic
11:28win-lose right animals are constantly competing with each other and you can say oh well there's
11:33a pride of lions they cooperate to hunt yes they do but they don't cooperate in terms of
11:39reproduction the females want the alpha the other males want the females massive amount
11:47of internal competition even among seemingly cohesive groups and I've referred to this
11:54in my show over the years as the angry will the angry will is I must win I must dominate
12:04and I am going to escalate until I win and I will never give way and you can see this all over the
12:12place in social media you're battling the primitive you're battling the animal you're
12:16battling the demonic in a way when you are trying to correct people and they view being corrected
12:24as a form of death which means that they've held a position and to discard that position
12:32is to die you get that sense of panic right and and sure you've known people over the course of
12:38your life I know I have really quite a few people over the course of your life who will not admit
12:45that they're wrong cannot admit it tiny bit more on the female side than the male perhaps but
12:52this idea that to admit that you're wrong is to die comes from sort of very primitive
12:59animalistic or demonic mindset of for me to win you have to lose now why people find it
13:06so hard to admit that they're wrong is because unfortunately shared delusion is a necessary
13:14aphrodisiac of reproduction in the human species so if your tribe believes crazy things then you
13:26have to repeat those crazy things in order to reproduce because otherwise you'll be ostracized
13:30from the tribe right in order for a chimpanzee to reproduce it doesn't have to believe that there's
13:36a god living in the tallest tree in the forest that you have to worship and bring fruit to it
13:41doesn't have to believe any of that stuff just has to be aggressive and this is back to the
13:48trading resources for orgasms problem with the simps and the online sex workers right which is
13:55when they gave chimpanzees currency and taught them how to use it the first thing that the males
14:00did was trade currency for sex right so sending money online simp army of death by a thousand
14:07paper cuts birth rate and resource bleed outs they are simply doing the animal which is to
14:15offer a woman resources in return for an orgasm now of course the woman doesn't have to be present
14:19and there doesn't have to be any chance of reproduction for this transaction to occur but
14:22that's a a kink or a bug of the machinery of infertility known as modern communications
14:30technology the angry bull to admit that you're wrong is to die and it takes an effort of will
14:38and discipline to tame the angry will to tame the angry will and turn your will not to the
14:47pursuit of dominance over others but to the pursuit of truth over discomfort to say not
14:57that i must dominate others but that i must dominate my own delusion and unfortunately
15:07the vast majority of human dominance is achieved through moral narratives the vast majority
15:16of human dominance is achieved through moral narratives the king is appointed by god himself
15:24to rule over you and to disobey the king is to disobey god god in this corrupt usage becomes
15:33the ultimate social credit score where you can't hide from anything and the punishment is not being
15:39unable to leave your neighborhood but to burn in hell for eternity god was the original ultimate
15:44social credit score in the corrupt application for the justification for political power
15:51i mean the government can't read your secret thoughts at least yet but god can't the government
15:59can only punish you materially and temporarily because we're all mortal but god can punish you
16:05spiritually and for eternity or rather to say that god can allow you to accrue that punishment
16:12so to say i will use my angry will which we're born with and i'm not complaining about that i
16:19mean it is like complaining about gravity or the fact that we only have two arms well it ain't
16:24gonna change anytime soon so the angry will has to be attained and redirected to not the dominance
16:34of others but the dominance over delusion it's the same transition as we had so prior to the
16:46scientific and free market revolutions resources were achieved through dominance
16:54over others right you warlords would grab and kings would grab and certain corrupt forms of
17:01which doctors would lie and threaten with curses and voodoo and punishments and so on in order to
17:06get resources it was win-lose but with the scientific method what happened was humanity
17:13or at least some parts of humanity transitioned from dominance over others to dominance over
17:22delusions discipline right so a lot of discipline is training yourself in the animal sense a lot of
17:30discipline is training yourself to dominate others right it could be martial training it could be
17:38training in moral manipulation or falsehoods it could be any number of things but it's training
17:44yourself to be good at dominating others the scientific method is training yourself with
17:51discipline not with the goal of sharpening your sword and learning how to whirl it effectively
17:56in order to dominate others but to subject yourself to a universal discipline called
18:01the scientific method in order to conquer not others but your own falsehoods or the falsehoods
18:07held by others due to our limited perspective right the world is a sphere feels flat and so on
18:13right now the great bounty staggering bounty of the modern world is based on the conquering of
18:22the self through the scientific method and through the free market the free market is the replacing
18:32of animal threat with moral value so in other words if you want to buy something or if you
18:40want a particular good rather than training yourself to become a criminal instead of
18:47delivering a threat to someone you deliver value so maybe you learn how to paint well
18:55and then you trade a painting for whatever it is that you want or the monetary equivalent
19:00so that's how you say to gain resources i will not bring a threat i will bring a value that the
19:08other person will voluntarily choose to exchange what i want for maybe i'll wash someone's car
19:16if i want a meal i'll wash someone's car for 20 bucks i'll buy a meal but i'm not just going to
19:21go and steal food and this really comes down to the development of empathy which is to say well
19:29i don't want to be stolen from so i won't steal from others do unto others as you would have them
19:32do unto you as the foundation truly of the free market it's a little more complicated with the
19:37scientific method but the scientific method is based upon a somewhat socratic naivete which says
19:45oh you believe something is true let's make sure about that let's check that oh you believe this
19:50is a real 20 bill let's just run it through this counterfeit detection machine and see if it is
19:56right oh you want to be right let's make sure i'm going to check your work oh you think that
20:03this is a correct math equation let me get out my red pen and see if that's in fact the case right
20:10it is believing when people say this is true that they actually want it to be true
20:15Socrates was the first and probably the greatest master of all of this oh you know what justice is
20:21good let me let me ask you so that you can inform me very passive aggressive but very powerful
20:29because the philosopher says to the claimer of truth that i believe you when you say that you
20:37want to be in possession of the truth therefore i'm going to validate what you say as opposed to
20:42what's really going on for the most part which is that the person who claims to be right about
20:47something particularly about moral issues is not after truth or morality but after power and the
20:53power is threatened by questioning so the animal is win-lose the divine the human is win-win the
21:01empathetic the virtuous is win-win now the good thing about that is that you get love i mean they're
21:11very practical i mean i want my wife my friends my daughter you to win at life to be happy to get
21:20what you want and the way to do that is to have win-win relationships win-win relationships are
21:24the foundation of a love virtue seeks for win-win and virtue and this is part of love your enemy's
21:33thing so virtue also seeks for win-win with regards to the corrupt because if you give
21:41resources to the corrupt on the basis of their corruption then the corrupt actually lose the
21:46more you make corruption win the more the potential virtue of the corrupt loses so it is actually in
21:54fact win-win to oppose the values and virtues of the corrupt right i was talking to someone the
22:00other day who and this has been a number of times of course quite a number of times over the call
22:06and shows won't talk to his father about his father's corruption violence or abuse he won't
22:15talk to him so he's bearing false witness right he's lying lying by omission and he rewards his
22:21father with their visits and quote respect and resources and time and attention and so on right
22:28so he is rewarding the corruption of his father which is a win-lose even for the father
22:36the only chance say for instance that my mother had of becoming better was to stop escalating and
22:44using verbal and physical aggression or violence to get her away now by not being in my mother's
22:50life lo these 25 years or so by not being in my mother's life i've actually made her happier
22:57because i have reduced it so i've reduced it i have reduced her capacity for benefiting from
23:04corruption right so my mother would use her aggression and verbal and physical intimidation
23:10with me and to that would get me to obey or give resources so when i stopped doing that
23:17and took myself out of her life because she wasn't willing to change well you see she can't bully
23:23the grocery store clerk in that way she can't bully her landlord she can't bully her friends
23:28in the same way she just can't do it so because i'm not in her life she is bullying much less
23:36which is the best chance she has well it is in fact making her less miserable oh but she misses
23:43you um i get that but she doesn't miss me enough to stop bullying she doesn't miss me enough to
23:48admit that she's wrong so i have actually made my mother happier by not seeing her i've made her
23:57better i've made her less unhappy because i have reduced her manifestation of aggression and
24:03corruption i have taken away her power and therefore she has at least over me right and
24:09therefore she has become less corrupt it's a really an act of love i don't know why people
24:14continue to participate in the corruption of others claiming that it's got something to do
24:18with love when it's really all just about fear but i suppose that is something to do with bearing
24:23false witness so with that framework in mind let us look back at proverbs 3 11 to 15 my son do not
24:32despise the lord's discipline and do not resent his rebuke so discipline is saying you are wrong
24:39morally which we all are from time to time you are wrong morally the lord is not instructing you
24:49on equations or the distance between mars and jupiter the lord morality philosophy moral
24:55philosophy is instructing you on virtue do not resent being told you're morally wrong
25:02do not resent being told you are morally wrong or factually wrong as well but let's talk morally
25:08do not despise despise the lord's discipline and do not resent his rebuke it is embarrassing
25:14sometimes and humiliating to be told that you are morally wrong sure sure i get that and that's
25:21mostly because we are not encouraged to be moral we are rather punished for deviating from the
25:26moral fantasies of the masses because the lord disciplines those he loves as a father the son
25:32he delights in sure when i tell people that they're doing wrong and people tell me that i'm
25:40doing wrong which of course happens right so when people when i tell people that they're doing wrong
25:44i'm not doing it because i hate them and want them to be unhappy right if your doctor says
25:50you're overweight you need to lose weight he's not doing it because he hates you and wants to
25:53shame you and humiliate you at least i hope not he's doing that because he wants you to be happier
25:57and healthier and live a better longer life so the idea that moral correction comes from a place
26:04of wanting someone to i mean do better and be happier right if you say to your coach i want to
26:10win the race then the coach says well you need to do this that and the other is he doing that because
26:15he hates you no he's doing that because he wants you to get what you want and for you to be happy
26:20right then he has reasons for doing that of course probably financial but that's the idea right so
26:25then he says then the proverb says blessed are those who find wisdom those who gain understanding
26:31wisdom and understanding for she is more profitable than silver and yields better
26:36returns than gold well this is pre-bitcoin of course right she is more precious than i keep
26:41thinking it says rubles she's more precious than rubies nothing you desire can compare with her
26:48right i remember many years ago was it the grand or some some you crat it was a really really nice
26:58hotel that i was in for business reasons and i was of course a young man and grew up in poverty so
27:07the u.s grant staying at a hotel that was four hundred dollars a night back in the day was kind
27:11of shocking to me and i could go down for a nice workout have a swim sit in the sauna the hot tub
27:18and order room service and so on right like it was a wild experience and i remember
27:26very clearly there was a significant business dispute i won't get into the details of it here
27:32it doesn't really matter because we've all had these kinds of issues at one time or another
27:36it could be a fight with the boss or anything there was a significant business dispute
27:40and a commitment that i'd made to people i you know cared about employees was under significant
27:47threat and i felt pretty pretty bad about it all i'm kind of helpless right you know that moment
27:54when you realize that sometimes in negotiations people won't respond to reason or calls to virtue
28:00right they make promises right and you say and then they break their promises and you say hey
28:05but you made a promise and then they said well things circumstances have changed and of course
28:11the whole point of a promise is it's not dependent upon circumstances right a promise has to be
28:17absolute i mean when you lease a car you don't say well you know i'll pay you but if i don't
28:25have the money i'll just won't pay you but i'll keep the car or if i you know lose my job i have
28:28to give the car back right it's a commitment it's not like it's a real commitment it's supposed to
28:33not be conditional upon circumstances because a promise is something that's supposed to be set
28:38in stone but if you then later find out that well the person thinks that circumstances change their
28:42commitment can change right i mean marriage couldn't function that way well you know i'm
28:46not gonna cheat on you but unless circumstances change and you know whatever you're ill for a
28:53week or two and there's this hot girl at work right whatever i mean it doesn't right so when
28:57you get in you cross over from the divine to the animal and you realize that the virtues that you
29:02were surrounded by were just spider webs of infinite manipulation to get stronger every time
29:09you glance away well that's a pretty pretty topsy-turvy moment in the world right or at least
29:15in your world or in my world so i was sitting in this hotel beautiful crazy couch sheets beautiful
29:21room room service on the way and i was unhappy because i was realizing that at least one person
29:30in the business who'd made a commitment that i viewed as absolute that person viewed as utterly
29:37conditional which i felt was a kind of fraud a promise is no matter what it would be nice if or
29:46maybe if i feel like it is not a promise and i remember sitting in this beautiful bed staring
29:53at this lovely room waiting for this great meal to arrive and being unhappy very unhappy
29:59and thinking that to be wealthy and miserable in that circumstance to be surrounded by the
30:05trappings of wealth and to be miserable is horrible like and it's more horrible in many ways
30:13to be surrounded by wealth and unhappy than it is to be poor and unhappy because at least if
30:19you're poor and unhappy you have the goal of escaping poverty but if you're rich and unhappy
30:25it ain't nothing but you it ain't nothing it was not my fault i was born poor so i worked hard to
30:31escape that kind of poverty but if you're already wealthy and unhappy oof well there's no escape
30:40there's no there's no goal that you can get to that you think will deal with that unhappiness
30:45so a good conscience is more profitable than gold and silver and rubies a good conscience
30:54having dealt with people justly having pursued virtue having admitted fault where it is proven
31:01having subjugated the animal will to dominate to the divine will for mutual benefit yeah
31:08more profitable than silver and it goes from male to female right yields better returns than gold
31:12sure if you're already wealthy and unhappy more money will not make you happier it won't
31:19there are countless examples of wealthy people who are as miserable as sin and in particular
31:26if they got their wealth through win-lose rather than win-win then gold brick by gold brick
31:33they build their prison the story of king Midas right the guy who everything he touches turns
31:38to gold but then he starves to death because he can't eat gold well that's a story of somebody
31:43who gets his wealth through violence win-lose exploitation it's a king after all right
31:51then he can't eat she's more precious than rubies nothing you desire can compare with her
31:57yes a happy marriage is the greatest wealth a loving husband a loving wife loving children
32:04that you love is the greatest wealth wealth physical wealth is not harmful in and of itself
32:12but the greatest wealth is waking up next to someone you delight and who delights you
32:19and who you respect and admire morally and who respects and admires you morally
32:25there is nothing greater and the discipline that puts you in the realm and possibility of true love
32:32is never harmful to your long-term interest it's harmful to your short-term interest for sure i
32:37i mean in order to uh it's wretched man it's wretched and i'll be very honest about this
32:42like in order to gain the love in my life that i have now i had to give up everyone there's nobody
32:51from my former life in my life i had to give up everyone because it was chilling to me
33:00when i discovered really discovered the practical value
33:03of truth and virtue and offered it desperately to everyone around me get on this lifeboat get
33:09on this great voyage get on this great journey when i discovered the true value of the surrender
33:17not to the animal but to the universal not to the greed but to the concepts not to the
33:22domination but to the virtue it was appalling to me how uninterested people were to come along
33:29i'll give you a funny little story about this so in the group that i played dungeons and dragons
33:34with in my teens we played dungeons and dragons and then we wanted to try something else i would
33:40had been into science fiction for a while so there was a game called a traveler i don't really
33:44remember much about it but it was a it was a science fiction role-playing game called traveler
33:50and i created we used to call them dungeons all the time although i've mentioned i created a
33:54scenario and played with my friends and in the scenario they woke up in a spaceship orbiting a
34:01planet and the captain of the spaceship who was a good guy there was another spaceship that docked
34:09and invaded and said give us the captain we're going to kill him and we're going to take his
34:15ship now i of course had designed the whole scenario said that my friends would fight for
34:20the captain and for the ship because the captain was a good guy and these were criminals and my
34:27friends universally said oh yeah we'll just we'll give the captain over and then we'll while the
34:33criminals are distracted we'll kill them and take the ship
34:40and their you know obviously imaginary moral corruption it turned into me lying right because
34:47that was not the scenario i planned a whole scenario based upon them at least
34:51trying to fight the criminals and protect the captain and themselves and their conscience
34:56and the ship right but the fact that they were just like yeah well we'll throw the captain at
35:00them we'll kill everyone including the captain and take the ship or whatever right that's
35:04right that was pretty wild to me and i hadn't planned for that at all so of course you can't
35:09say no you can't do that because role-playing so they did that and i then had to make up
35:16what was happening afterwards on the fly and after about half an hour of me desperately
35:22ransacking my imagination to come up with a world and scenarios that i weren't expecting
35:28they said to me wait are you just making this up as you go because i kept pretending to consult
35:32my notes you know i don't know 14 or 15 i kept pretending to consult my notes and roll some dice
35:37when i was just frantically trying to come up with what happened next in this completely corrupt
35:42scenario and i lied i said no no no no it's all written down right but i remember being
35:49kind of shocked that they just sided with corruption without even a hesitation without
35:56even a thought in hindsight it could have been a bit of a warning it could have been a bit of a
36:01warning i mean these were mostly people i left behind after high school but then one or two of
36:06them stayed longer so so yeah subjugate yourself to finding win-win subjugate yourself to finding
36:14win-win and avoiding like the plague the win-lose the win-lose and then if you train yourself on
36:23win-win and you're patient to negotiate for win-win then the greatest treasure in life opens
36:29up to you which is love my wife and i delight in making each other happier in thoughts and
36:35gestures and jokes and scenarios that make each other happier we love to make each other's life
36:42as opposed to getting our way at the expense of others which is no matter how much money you get
36:47is a one-way ticket to an eternity of unhappiness because if you're unhappy for the rest of your
36:53life even if you perceive yourself as fully fleshly mortal if you're unhappiness
36:58lasts for the rest of your life that is the equivalent of eternity because there's nothing
37:03after there's nothing after eternity eternity stretches forever and if you perceive yourself
37:08to be fully mortal unhappiness for the rest of your life is an eternity because there's nothing
37:13after it for you freedom.com slash donate thank you so much for these bible verses i really do
