Middle age is when you become less fanatical, and more principled. Well, it should be that.

To take the convo off on a tangent: I think it is problematic that Protestants have done such a poor job of making room in their societies for the celibate. The social pressure for the unwilling and unfit to marry is incredibly high, in Protestant-led societies, and that has increased the political pressure to become more lenient on divorce, and to "make room" in the public sphere for pseudo-marital schemes. Marriage is a vocation that not everyone is called to. There should be multiple vocations, held in esteem, and not simply "proud marrieds" and "the pathetic rest, sucks to be them". For the record: _Jesus was not married._ View quoted note →

Snowy selfie. Tan almost gone. Taking a break from coding because I really need a break and a blankie and some tea. Blankie season happens. Also, it's cold outside. I can't code when it's cold outside. Instead, I went to a Christmas market and ate Dampfnudel. Dampfnudl ham ma gestern g´habt, Dampfnudel ham ma heit…. 🎶 And kafka and kubernetes are totally kicking my behind, at work, so I have no energy left for any other thinking. Feels like they're melting my brain.
