Included with this poem in Disquis comments, a commentary on penitent souls. God pray, I would recommend it for sinners who've sinned much. What we do will speak for eternity, but it'll come to be between Heaven or Hell that Heaven will know whether we loved God more than we ever did to hate.

In sum, I'd say great sinners have a glory which most lukewarm souls do not. Sins, and sorrow out of sin, so much as a flame of Hell may be borrowed in this life, can make souls very hot for God, more than any soul who has lived a perfect life. Such souls will be cooked at greater temperatures, and since God prefers hotter meals, they may be all the more pleasing to Him.

Oh, and by perfect life, I mean "perfect" in the world's eyes. A poetic term might be the best way to describe. People who love the world because the world loves them. Merit comes from loving those who don't love you. That's the Christian way, but if a "Christian's" born beautiful, they actually have a greater task because it's difficult to meritably love a world which may love them by default.

This said, I'm less qualified to speak about the salvation of cold souls. Nonetheless, the universal, the Catholic solutions are the Rosary and the Holy Mass. To be like Christ, and die like Christ would wish to die. That's the end of the matter, but God wills different methods of cooking for different people. A soul that does penitence, is a soul which is cooked more brutally by heat for love of God.

An innocent soul, souls of children, souls like Saint Mary's. God may just cut them off like a slice of sashimi if He wished.

Excuse me, last comment due to the Neocities limit. I had a rant listed. I recant. Publishing's a tough business. God wills what He wilt about the artistic tastes of man. God be with.

Added a little manga recommendation: "The Lies of Sheriff Evans." It's funny, but probably doesn't have official translations because shounen kids here might not want to read a comic book about a Sheriff who can't get a girl.

Yeah, simple concept, but it's well executed.

2907 words. I say this to warn, but maybe I should track this on the page for editing purposes.

Added "Notes to The Underground" to reading list.

Would I call this book incelcore? No, because unlike incels the wretched man of this book knows how to spend his money, but I do consider it a book which incels should probably read. People being bad is a constant in history, but God is the truth which digs people out of the ditch. For this book, you'd have to be a Christian to know that it's a happy ending for all the characters involved.

Spent all of yesterday reading Quo Vadis on my phone. Finished it all in one go that I had to add it to my page. This book makes me happy to be a Catholic. Saint Peter and Saint Paul are the GOATs.

Oh, and about the book review. I will still write, just I think I'm glad that I may gear my work towards Christ-centered tales. Henryk's work gave me a lot of hope, and instruction in that one should pursue art without thinking like one's art's some God-given gift which one must always do at the cost of others. An emperor has an empire to feed. A man like me will either have a church or family to feed.

To ignore responsibility for the sake of dancing or writing poetry... it was illustrated too vividly in Quo Vadis for me. Those deeds are a sin against God and neighbor.

No commentary this time. Just an appreciation post. I'm grateful to take a break from political poems. Fringe politics may make one feel glorious, but that's only in your own mind. Little stories, kind poems, I find are the most enjoyable to read in the long-run. Too bad people forget sometimes. Fairy tales were meant to be enjoyed by children who would grow up.

To a kid, Rapunzel is a story about a prince falling in love with a princess. To an adult like me, Rapunzel is a guy sneaking into a girl's house when her parents aren't home. Still, this aside, I'll say Fairytales today seem made for children who never grow. Then again, it's why some stories are considered timeless and others not. It's hard to make a stories which serve both kids and adults.
