It's why I stopped reading Sophie's Choice as soon as the fourth wall was broken.

Dismantling her essence was somehow cruel to both the character and the reader.

I tried to continue reading, but felt lectured.

At least it was spoiled early on.
And since you (ideally) made the reader care about that struggle, it’s very VERY hard for that sort of ending to not come across as “Sucker! Made you care!”

This does not endear you to your audience.

Let's move on with the rest of the passage.

Lewis recognizes that modesty raises thorny issues, but he sweeps them aside to focus on the more important spirit. I want to bring your attention to the last sentence here:

Regarding behavior, there's a chapter on sexual morality that begins with one of the least popular Christian virtues: modesty. Here's what CS Lewis had to say:

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

I mean, if you're offering to help with that tidying up, great.
Otherwise, a bit rude 😤
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Looks like some Canadians who live close to the border get identified as being based in the US. But I'm starting a conspiracy that this is Musk's attempt to cyber-Annex Canada on behalf of Trump.

I trust this man.
I will not look this up.
I'm sure I'll eventually find out, but it's in my power to delay it.
I've done it before.
I've even been able to avoid this sort of thing completely.

I know not to look. 😌💅
listen to me. listen to me right now. if you don't know what this tweet means, just close your device. don't look anything up. go for a walk. return in a week. if you don't listen to me, your life will be ruined and i can't be held accountable

These idiots are lying about vaccines to pander to the politics of cruel stupidity, and they are going to kill children.
The CDC amended its website to suggest that vaccines may cause autism. It now declares that experts “ignored” a potential link between infant vaccination and autism, and asserts that its earlier rejection of such a link was not “evidence-based.”

Effaçait non-commercial journaling is an effective way to track daily affirmations of empirical turnabout.
I highly encourage internal discourse with oneself for optional emotional growth.

Eli loves hair clips, so I gave him one when the spring rusted out.

He's doing so much better this past week, and has fully recovered from his bad reaction to the gabapentin dose last week.

January fields
Limitless hollows pocket the winds,
Howling through bones, trees, and souls alike
Blasting its way to barren sidewalks,
To dance around steel, glass, and concrete
To gleefully cut through haute couture parkas
As last call rings out:
Happy New Year

Cis people, how many times have you been asked to describe how you masturbate, and what you think about when you do, to access healthcare on the NHS?
