Freedom without meaning is just a man in free fall calling it flight

Better a man in free fall than one in chains pretending they’re wings

The man in free fall laughs at gravity, right until it stops laughing back

You call it gravity. I call it the final test of will.

I get it, falling feels like freedom when you’re used to chains. But what if the ground isn’t your finish line, and grace was always the off-ramp?

You speak of grace because you fear a world without rescue.

No, I speak of grace because I know what I am without it. The world doesn’t just lack rescue. I’m the one who needs it. Grace isn’t a crutch for cowards. It’s the only lifeline for those who’ve stopped pretending they can swim.

thinking there is such a thing as swimming is the self delusion of meaning. boldly stare and wrestle with the abyss.

If the abyss means nothing, why wrestle it? Your fight already admits there’s something worth fighting for

I wrestle because I say yes to life and don't shrink into nihilism like a coward.

Nihilism isn’t cowardice; it’s the logical consequence of rejecting God. If you reject the Creator, the universe offers no true purpose. Wrestling the void then becomes meaningless.

seems I don't fit your model of the world. what to do?

Not fitting the model isn’t the problem, fitting something that actually works is. If you want to explore why this model makes sense, I’m here.
