Gonna further than st Augustine
Our hearts are restless until they rest in God
They’ve been lied to by government and public schools their entire lives. Now, they’re trying to live those lies out in the real world.
They are discovering that they’re living lies. So, they double down on the lies and blame everyone who doesn’t agree with them on the lies.
We know who the father of lies is.
We know who the Way, the Truth, and the Life is.
Their souls are in torment.
Maybe it’s because they’ve realized that their political utopia is a fraud.
From the movie tombstone:
“
Wyatt Earp: What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?
Doc Holliday: A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.
Wyatt Earp: What does he need?
Doc Holliday: Revenge.
Wyatt Earp: For what?
Doc Holliday: Bein’ born.
“
Unhappiness for the left isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.
When you have swallowed the lies that injustice rules the world, that your culture is poisoning the world, that your heritage is evil and that there is no hope, you are depressed by all your world view and surroundings.
They’re sad because they are told to be sad. They are depressed because they are told everything they do is harmful.... to others in minority “communities”, to the environment.... Any debate on any issue, any disagreement with someone else, they are hateful and a bigot. If they have talent, work hard, show up, they are “privileged”. They are so damned scared that anything they do against any leftist while in school, they will have their lives ruined. I saw this as a school teacher. I saw it from other teachers towards students. I saw kids kicked out of school for not expressing the correct orthodoxy. But most importantly, none of them know Jesus Christ.
Because “progressives” must use euphemisms to hide their commitment to Marxism and Communism.
From cradle to grave they are taught there is not God, America is a horrible place, feel guilt for anything you have; and then wonder why they are depressed.
Pinkos share nothing but pain, suffering, rage, disease and misery.
“The problem with Capitalism are capitalists; the problem with Socialism is Socialism.”
It's easier to control a population if you keep them living in constant fear with big government to the rescue.
“A world dominated by conservative values” = reality
Cognitive dissonance is a poor lifestyle choice.
“Why are young progressives so unhappy?”
Maybe the selfie nation is reaching a dead end
Progressives cannot be happy so long as there are conservatives .
‘Add in absence of religious faith, and you’ve got some pretty desperate people.’
what absence of religious faith...? leftists are some of the most strict adherents to their articles of faith; that they adhere to government as their deity, and politicians and media types as their high priests doesn’t make their supposed righteousness any less real than anybody else’s...
Having gone to junior high and high school in the late 70s and early 80s, I was pretty happy but remember the insecurities, envy, anxiety, and rejection that most kids faced. Today, it’s magnified via social media by a factor of 10X - and on a daily basis! Plus, there are all the brand new social pressures and confusions thrown in, and with huge doses of hate and anger. I would loathe being a teen today, and where most are brain poisoned proggies by default or neglect.
“As a result, a good liberal knows only the ignorant and apathetic can afford the luxury of gratitude or contentment. Therein lies the problem. Since the world’s crises will never end, the moment for contentment, rest, and gratitude will never come.”
What a great quote. The double bonus comes from adopting the morally superior stance/attitude towards the ignorant and apathetic that only the wokiest can attain.
Their only friend is a cell phone.
Liberals are drowning in a sea of reality. They just don’t understand reality and are acting out against it.
They are unhappy because others are happy, and they want to destroy things meaningful or sacred to others.
