The Human Condition:
We cannot be free without being free to harm ourselves. Advances in technology can remove physical dangers from our lives, but when it does, spiritual dangers increase. By spiritual danger, I mean danger to your integrity, your decency, your sense of life.
Spiritual danger can not conquer you without your own consent. But once you have consented, those dangers are all-powerful because no outside force can come to your aid. Spiritual dangers are always faced alone.

I think God's still got our back and He helps us out in big ways, even when we feel like we're struggling with fierce and endless personal/spiritual battles alone. Sometimes he puts just the right people along the path to help us pull through the messes we've made.
