So, it's not chastised Humility, but rather chastised and angered me writing this morning. The computer and my reaction towards its antics are the reason, that I had to fill out the box for Chastity twice in a row in complete black. I have been doing very much swearing on Friday and Saturday.
Why? Because I had time to waste on my computer. That's why.
Somehow, that can be used to work on my Humility, but first we hear about Chastity. Since I have no problems with venery or rather, with overdoing it, I decided to reduce this particular virtue to the swearing part of my life. What I found out was, what I already wrote: my computer makes me swear the most. So the logic conclusion is to reduce my computer time. And I will. I will use it to write here, to check e-mails and to upload my i-Pod. That should do the trick.
Humility will be about finding out, where else I go overboard with my emotions or general reactions. Where I am overproud or -lazy or complacent or just sniggering. And how to hold my aggressiveness in check. Well duh, by not playing on the computer so much. I just wonder if I find something else to annoy me just as much. :-) We'll see.
Still, something else I have decided as far as the virtues are concerned: I will skip some of them, starting with the next circle or rather: exchange them for those, that I don't really have problems with, in general. The ones that go are: Sincerity, Justice, Tranquility and yes, Chastity. I can work the reducement of swearing into other virtues like Moderation or Resolution or Silence. They will be exchanged for an increase of: Order, Resolution, Industry and Cleanliness. I'll do those virtues twice in one circle. Makes more sense for me, as those where shown to be the virtues that caused more trouble, than the others.
On an completely different note: I have now booked my Yorkshire-Accomodation for my big Holiday, so I am getting on. These days are shortened and the B&B is more than half as cheap as the Hotel in London. That's o.k. by me. I have decided to go to Yorkshire again, so I do not need so much time there this year. And next time I won't take in London, but only Yorkshire, so I can make that a longer holiday. I can use these days for "prospecting" or "scouting" or some such thing. :-)
This is "Elusive Butterfly" by Bob Lind. The song (that I do not own, like I don't own the clip) turned out to be a) very elusive and therefore b) a provocant for swearing for me. I had a very hard time downloading it yesterday and I had a hard time getting this clip on here.
Still. Elusiveness and the computer seem to be a combination made for me. And right now, even the aforementioned holidays seem elusive to me. Or the next weekend or whatever. Still. I am not giving up. Work isn't elusive and I just got me some more. Much more. But I can't just sit about all day and wait for it and since I want to get a little up in the world, this is a step towards it. Plus: though it does take away some work from my colleague, it just gives her some breathing space and does not steal any work from her. It works out fine for all sides. Thoug I will be thinking: WHY did I do that in about a week. No matter.
On this note I invite you to enjoy Sunday and not to get provoked into anger, aggressiveness or even unhappyness. At least not by your computer. If you have to be, let it be by something, that is worth it.
The computer is a waste of time in this respect. Which is why I will be closing it down for today. After I checked my e-Mails. :-) Cheerio and all good cheer... The Muddleheaded one....
