concupiscence
---is the general state of rebellion within man against God (having SI ruled by the "lower" faculties)
SI being sexual intercourse?
anyway, i have another set of thesis statements to worry about and prepare for. this time, its for philo-sophie (haha. para cute kahit nakakabaliw siya).
mine's on wednesday, january 21, 2009 at 5:30pm. so the sh*t is i haven't even started and i'm not in the mood to start and i feel like i have to start but then the WILL or the desire of such intensity that it leads into action isn't enough.
im going further and further away from the realization and fullness of my being. i am sinning. i have not done what i ought to do and should i then perish to my perdition? (disclaimer: haha.)
SIN: is a rebellion against God producing an analogous rebellion within man [himself]
i, therefore, am only experiencing the fruits of my labor from shying away from the light, the truth, that is God.
*** how the hell can i fully philosophize when theology is hunting me like this??? (the conflict, therefore, is not in the orientation of the two fields of study but the sheer volume of each subject competing inside my fist-sized brain. how the hell can i store that much and still be sane?)
anyway, even if i am in this particualr situation, since man is capable of self-transcendence and lives a meaningful life, and has direction and meaning in life towards which he works for and in which he achieves ultimate fulfillment,
i, with the inspiration of theology, must now philosophize.
