Sinning

I’m taking some notes off that I left myself, and one thing I know I have mentioned, but will mention again slightly differently is that it is far better to acknowledge to yourself what happened when you violate your own chosen moral standards, than to rationalize. It is better to live in conflict than to achieve a false synthesis at the cost of constant compromise. Such compromise amounts to changing who you are, invisibly, at the cost of losing your sense of self, also invisibly. You feel lost and angry, but you forget why.
