got up to like episode nine on aquatope, trying to remember why I dropped it. definitely was pretty though; I think it felt too out-of-this-world to be my type of SoL. interesting initial premise that meshed into an escape; and although I loved the simplistic yet beautiful location w/ emphasis on locality, the conflict explored felt detached at best, i.e. fame or getting good at new things, disjoint from setting

yes, that makes sense! the conflict/message did feel confused at times, like you said, so i do wish they had gone more into that. i think that does happen with a lot of SoLs, though, since there’s usually not a ton of plot.

"When times are good, rejoice, and when they’re difficult, be patient" – this alone is worth a lot of attention, great stuff! the talk of reconciling divergent beliefs reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcion_of_Sinope where he attempts to reconcile the stark contrast in how the Lord is portrayed between OT and NT. btw your pumpkin/patch dress design is awesome, its color composition

just fond of amber, I suppose

thank you sm! ecclesiastes 7:14 :) also, his thoughts on the topic were very interesting, i’ve wondered about that myself and i think many others do, too, considering how it can be different at times. and thank you again, i appreciate it!

I guess that's why it resonates so much. Ecclesiastes is one of my favorite books, probably because it's /the/ stepping stone, something like that. Ecclesiastes 12:1, 8:14 are great ones too. I look forward to seeing more articles :^)

nice articles on faith, especially the "never alone" one - where its a mental fugue which prevents one from seeing not only your connection to the Creator but to all peoples around you. one thing worth exploring would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_eschatology

thank you kazuhisa! that’s true, feelings of being alone do lead to disconnection. thank you for the reading as well.
