the singularity of being and nothingness
Sweet, Sweet Irony
Yesterday, I ruminated about a new-found respect and value to which I have comitted myself in regards to creation. I suggested that as the creation is itself the object of the redemption, restoration and recreation to be realized in the divine rule of God in the eschaton, so we should highly value the creation, rather than abusing and destroying it simply to sate our consumeristic desires and contrived "needs."
As part of this reflection, I noted that I have committed myself to avoid deliberately harming spiders, a creature of which I am particularly afraid (and mildly disgusted…I mean, do they really need that many legs?).
However, my suspicions about the ultimately capricious orientation of the universe were confirmed this morning. I woke up from troubled slumber, a terrible migraine dulling my senses. As I showered, I noticed that my right arm was a little sore. As I more closely inspected the troublesome area, I recognized the tell-tale signs of my nemesis.
Yes, a spider bite.
Delicious irony.

I would like to point out something-
I was right. Spiders do prey on humans.
Delicious irony.
especially for the spider.

LoL, you are right. Apparently, it was pleasing to the divine will to make me food for the voracious hunger of the arachnids.
At least my pain and terror is for the means and ends of glory.

Not only is it for the means and ends of glory- it is the means and ends of glory
