Twitter
I recently deleted my Twitter accounts, finally. Watching the spiritual ill that social media creates, in me and others, contributed much to that decision. Alan Jacobs describes the hubris that is allows us to ignore this ill, or, more precisely, to ignore that this ill applies to ourselves.

concerning the recent report from the Catholic Church
Luke 10:
But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, βAnd who is my neighbor?β
In reply Jesus said: βA man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
“A priest … passed by on the other side.”

Currently reading: The Analogy of Love: Maximus the Confessor and the Foundation of Ethics by Demitrios Harper π
This is a solid book. A few highlights:
The dynamic character of human nature is not the result of a loss of an original state of being, but that which is indicative of his created status (60).
β
Being or nature is not a static or “given” reality for Maximus, but is constituted “as a circulation of gifts” (61; here quoting Loudovikos).
