i know that once you do bad things in the world you aren’t considered pure or innocent anymore, but well maybe you aren’t innocent but you can be pure?? if you did bad things can you be pure again?? this is not about religion but rather the truth of being a person yea!!
“The Good Place” suggested that what you have done is less important than what you are currently doing to improve as a person.
You may never erase the your moral failings from the past, but as long as you are still trying to be better, that’s what matters.
What a good show. Funny thing is OP might both enjoy ane learn from it based on where they are.
Everyone is an asshole. It’s about how big of an asshole you are or can be.
You’re irredeemably an asshole once you’ve assaulted someone, have had a very lengthy criminal history, raped someone, sexually abused someone, abused children, abused any positions of power, murdered someone and any other heinous criminal activity I’ve not listed.
There’s just simply a point of no going back.
To err is human. As long as you are capable of genuine remorse, you’re as “pure” as possible.
Purity is a human construct. Purity doesn’t exist.
What you can do… What you can effect… Is to always improve, always learn, and always grow.
Press forward in goodness and wholeness. Let that be purity enough.
I am going to need you to define what it means to you to be “pure of heart”.
There is a decent chance that you will find an answer to your question by doing this.
Honestly, I think the whole concept of purity is ridiculous.
We are all 100% pure human.
Except if you have prosthetics. Then you’re man and machine
Cyborg?
Purity is a bullshit concept. You can’t be good without understanding what that is. Doing bad things is one way to figure that out, and yeah you can be good after doing harm, particularly if you face the harm you’ve done and work to fix it and not repeat it.
I believe so. Purity of heart is cultivating authentic “goodness.” That is, doing the “right thing” for the sake of the thing, not for reward or recognition, although that may be a by-product. Not necessarily “right” by social standards, while also recognizing that what is right for you may not be, for someone else. I noticed you said later you hold a Christian perspective. Jesus said the well don’t need doctors. He was a champion of the poor, outcast, and women. He forgave what temple authority wouldn’t. He interceded for his murderers. I would also refer you to the 51 Psalm.
you can be pure of heart and be an absolutely evil wretched being, so long as you’re purely evil and wretched. Really commit to it.
The word “Islam” means “submission,” my brother. Allah will save you but you must let him.
i believe in christianity and that stuff but i do believe that islam has good things going on and i respect that but i believe in being nice and kind to people and understanding!!! thank you so much
Do I have to cut my clit off first? Judeo-Christianity already took the tip off, not sure how much I have left to lose
Unfortunately yes
I don’t believe there is such a thing as pure of heart. Naivety and ignorance sure, but no such thing as pure of heart.
And it is about religion as my religion rejects the Christian moral concept of purity.
To be imperfect is to be human.
What you want to be is “good”. Purity is a weird concept mostly used by people who want to get rid of other people.
Yes, you can be good after being bad. It’s a hard struggle though, because you have to alter the parts of yourself that generated the bad behavior.
I was never pure of heart.
