The Mood of a Disordered Culture
It is important to understand what drives the rage of the feminist culture if we are to remain good men in society by knowing where the enemy is trying to attack. This article shows how to come back to center. https://open.substack.com/pub/jdsokol/p/the-mood-of-a-disordered-culture?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

The Truth about the Struggle
Your struggle isn't wasted; it's strength in process. There’s a story about a man who sees a moth struggling to break free from its cocoon. The struggle looks painful. So, he takes a knife and gently cuts the cocoon open. The moth emerges easily…But its wings are weak. It never flies. It dies shortly after. What most people don’t know is that the struggle itself is what forces fluid into the moth’s wings, strengthening them so it can survive in the wild. Remove the struggle—and you remove the strength. Now here’s the part most people miss: The man with the knife isn’t cruel. He’s impatient. And the one who doesn’t intervene? That’s God. God could remove the struggle. He could make it easy. He could hand you the result. But He doesn’t. Because the cocoon is the Cross you’re meant to carry. 📉 Why Trading Feels So Hard (On Purpose) If trading feels frustrating…If discipline feels hard…If you’re tempted to quit when drawdowns hit… That isn’t a sign you’re failing. That’s the process working. Trading pressure: - Builds emotional control - Forces humility - Exposes weak habits - Burns impatience out of you - Teaches obedience to rules If He stepped in and removed that struggle, if He “made it easy," you’d emerge financially weak, unable to survive long term. And eventually… you’d blow up. 🔥 The Test Isn’t the Market, It’s You The struggle you’re in right now is the test. Not of intelligence. Not of strategy. But of how badly you actually want freedom. Everyone wants to fly. Few are willing to fight their way out of the cocoon. Those who endure: - Stop chasing dopamine - Stop needing certainty - Stop reacting emotionally - Start executing like professionals And one day, almost quietly… They fly. ✝️ Trust the Process. Carry the Cross. Finish the Mission. God allows the struggle because He sees what you’re becoming. Your job isn’t to escape the cocoon. Your job is to outgrow it. Stay disciplined. Stay patient. Stay obedient to the process.

@Michael Wilson I haven't. Adding that too! Recently I've been digging hard into St. Ignatius of Antioch and his epistles from 117 AD.
