Detaching from the world, to attach to God.

Not every action should be met with an immediate response. Convenience does not always equate to what is good or beneficial. A clear example is when we are unwell and we have the choice between bitter pills that help us recover or the preference for sugary remedies. The allure of sweetness may be appealing, but it's important to remember that moderation is key when using both options.

This principle extends to various aspects of life, such as excessive indulgence in alcohol, sex, and entertainment. Similarly, excessive involvement in politics and social media can have a corrupting influence on someone who considers themselves a person of faith. Social media, in particular, has a tendency to make people disconnected from reality, so it is advisable to limit the time spent on these platforms.

In the role of a person of faith, it is sometimes necessary to remove oneself from the public square and dedicate more time to spiritual pursuits. It is often in the valleys of life, rather than at the peaks, where significant battles are won.

It is crucial not to give the enemy too much power or attention, as wicked individuals will inevitably engage in wicked acts, while good-hearted individuals will continue to do good deeds.
