The Divine Scolding was very profound and concept he could fall again, when she says to let him keep suffering. Deepens the idea of suffering, other than that I kind if think of it as a big total that links itself. Uglianonand the tower too, how hate and betrayal don’t let go and it puts us at the fall of man w the idiom in the text.
1). Yes: my greatest discovery from reading medieval literature was that Dante inserted a mention of free will at the very center of his Divine Comedy, as if to say: everything hinges on that. In the Christian life, all we have to focus on is our will, because that’s where God gave us our freedom. The decisions that we make with our free will are, ultimately, responsible for the state of our soul: anxious and angry, or peaceful and joyous. In this sense, Christianity is a recipe for happiness.
2) The biggest conundrum I’m trying to solve in these days is: how can I really and deeply integrate my “combative” side, who wants to win above all, with my deeper, loving and reflective side? Prayer is the answer, but are there any specific recommendations?
