Life is all about planting seeds. Anything and everything in this world revolves around planting seeds. We were all born from a seed and through nourishment, became who we are today. The lives we live are determined by the thoughts we think, whether it be conscious or unconsciously. Every thought is a seed we plant in the garden of our minds. With constant nourishing it grows to fruition, good or bad. The seeds we plant in our minds are guarded by the gateways of our bodies. What we hear with our ears and see with our eyes have a direct impact on our souls which directs what seeds are being planted in our minds. This is the why guarding your gateways is the most important discipline to have in life. Never let your guard down. We're in a time in life where the most evil seeds to have ever existed are just one scroll away on any social media timeline. I guarantee you with just a few minutes of scrolling, you'll have planted 1 of each of the 7 deadly sins in your mind. Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth. Now imagine doing that for hours a day, every single day. What type of wicked and vile human being will it eventually turn you into? The porn you watch turns you into a lustful imbecile. Not only that, it causes you to drain the very life force from inside you every single day. That's why you wake up miserable and depressed everyday, because every night you drain the life out of yourself for a few minutes of pleasure. The violent videos you watch cause you to have the anger and hatred in your hearts everyday. How many times have you watched a fight video and had that adrenaline in your hearts like you're ready to fight? It plants the seed of violence inside of you. With enough nourishing you will unconsciously be seeking violence in your life. The luxury lifestyle videos cause you to have envy and greed. You can call it motivation till cows come home, but all it does is plants the seeds for endless amount of want in your hearts and you will eventually commit unimaginable evil to get it if you nourish it long enough. The endless amounts of food videos you come across cause you to plant the seeds endless amounts of gluttony. You'll find yourself constantly craving and wanting all types of food, even if you aren't hungry. Leading you to obesity. This seed is very dangerous because it directly feeds into slothfulness too. By the time you get to bed at night, you've thoroughly planted and nourished all of the deadly sins and you wake up in the morning wondering why your life is so miserable. So what's the solution? Stop allowing the algorithm to feed you endless amounts of deadly sins. The doom scrolling you do throughout the day/night pollutes the garden of your mind. The content you allow through the gateway of your soul must be thoroughly filtered and allowed in with purpose. Before you even pick up your phone or computer, ask yourself what the sole purpose of the access is. Use technology to make you a better man and live a better life, don't allow it to turn you in a wicked person without you even realising. "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways."
