Why? <br /><br />Exhibit A: the anonymous entity to whom you just directed your question has NO IDEA you just asked it and will never be back to answer.<br /><br />Exhibit B: No one knows who YOU are either and since you cannot subscribe to comments as an anonymous poster, you won't be notified of a response. <br /><br />If you have a serious question, feel free to email me for a generic response or just search the tags in my sidebar or click on the tags "discernment", "religious life" and "vocation" at the bottom of this post.<br /><br />As this is my blog and I've written a LOT on this topic, you'll find a lot here, including in the comments section. But the person to whom you addressed your question is unfortunately, as unknown and impossible to recognize as you are. <br /><br />Blessed Solemnity of the Mother of God, and prayers for your discernment! <br /><br /><br /><br />NOTE TO ALL FUTURE POSTERS: ANONYMOUS COMMENTS WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED. IDENTIFY YOURSELF WITH SOME KIND OF HANDLE. SEE COMMENT POLICY IN SIDEBAR. <br /><br />THANK YOU.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-27661018675500043002012-01-01T20:22:17.676-06:002012-01-01T20:22:17.676-06:00Anonymous, I don't mean to pry, but how did yo...Anonymous, I don't mean to pry, but how did you know you were being called to this life?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-72544807823153110952010-03-14T08:13:09.795-05:002010-03-14T08:13:09.795-05:00God bless you all, it was my calling years ago, an...God bless you all, it was my calling years ago, and i never took heed, now years on i regretted it.<br />If you are called answer it, as you will regret it later on in life like i have...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-45685532117830159122009-07-20T08:27:31.273-05:002009-07-20T08:27:31.273-05:00Well I understood you perfectly clearly.

Personality is a REQUIREMENT!<br /><br />It is the secular romanticized ideal/misunderstanding that casts religious as wooden people with no personality. <br /><br />I am not doing that. I'm stating, very clearly (so I thought) that this is not the reality. <br /><br />My first 2 paragraphs are about the reality in prose. Then a paragraph of juxtaposition of secular culture's perspective and the final sentence pointing out the flaw. <br /><br />Sorry I wasn't clear. I can't seem to make this post say what I intend, apparently.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-68380651915874896282009-07-19T19:05:28.313-05:002009-07-19T19:05:28.313-05:00I understand your intent, I'm just not entirel...I understand your intent, I'm just not entirely certain that such a life would necessitate/involve a lack of personality.Hidden Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06042188431683942338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-14337222691013832842009-07-19T15:43:22.295-05:002009-07-19T15:43:22.295-05:00Angela ~ beauty doesn't always have anything t...Angela ~ beauty doesn't always have anything to do with it. Some things are simply not meant to be shared or are too difficult to share. It's not all peaches and cream. <br /><br />You Know Who ~ I wasn't there long enough for that, so no, I won't be writing about personalities<br /><br />Hidden One ~ REad the paragraph again. It's a commentary on the false view. The romanticized version doesn't leave room for personality. Thus "deprivation of personality" which does NOT exist in real life.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-3423767011014660062009-07-19T15:19:13.904-05:002009-07-19T15:19:13.904-05:00Very very interesting.
