“Thus you have a sea of adults on the internet, earnestly defending a system that has left generations of children alone in a terrifying, limitless, formless reality. We will soon have a world run by foundlings, orphaned by the abdication of authority.”
― My Dear Hemlock

“Maybe we don’t know much about food. Maybe we do. Maybe we are a cheerful follower of the newest final word on nutrition, or maybe we are cheerfully feeding our children out of the frozen meal section at Save-A-Lot. But whatever we eat, we are largely dependent on other people for our ingredients and our information. We may feel that we’re taking charge of our destinies by following a low-inflammation diet, but we are getting our ideas from fallible people. We may feel like we’re cultivated and discriminating consumers who only go for the best, but we are probably just choosing items that have been chosen for us—that the great machine of food industry picked out via consumer trials 15 months ago. And there’s no problem with this. It’s just that we shouldn’t forget it.”

“Jealousy is a feeling of discomfort and anger that something you have is being threatened. This means that jealousy can sometimes be righteous. God himself is a jealous God (Exodus 20:5-6; Deuteronomy 6:15). Envy, in contrast, is distress over something that someone else possesses. It is always sinful, and it is not a feeling ever attributed to God.11 Covetousness is the desire for what someone else possesses. It would be satisfied simply to have what the other person has. Envy, in contrast, takes it personally that the other person has what he has, and would be satisfied to see the possession or quality destroyed rather than see the other person enjoying it.”

“We want to walk into our local grocery store any time of the day, any day of the week, and pick up a red tomato. We want the certainty of knowing that a tomato is always within reach. In much the same way, we want the certainty of knowing that the answers to life’s questions are always within reach. When a problem or choice presents itself, we don’t want go through the growing process; we want an answer immediately. So just like we’re content with mealy, prepackaged tomatoes because they’re easy and readily available, we’re also content with mealy, prepackaged answers because they’re easy and readily available. But humility teaches us a better way. Humility teaches us to wait for God for answers. Humility teaches us to let knowledge ripen on the vine.”
