2- enjoying a calm mind by practicing mediatation and regular exercise.
I consider myself to be a darkworker because although I take pleasure in compassion, every action is performed as service to myself and all socialising is for my own amusement. It's a simple but joyful philosophy of living life. |
It's a shame that is a criteria for something called a "darkworker." Why would anyone socialize if it wasn't for their own amusement?
Experiencing pleasure in our lives is our highest glorification of God. Choosing the kind of pleasure that is ultimately destructive only hurts the self in the long run.
