Maybe you've heard of people mistaking our path as a Stoic one. I should know better but I'm doing it myself. I felt great discomfort with some of the emotionalism in the Western churches, but I seem to have run too far the other direction. Aside from bipolar and probably PTSD, it seems I'm being hard on myself for my old sensual and effeminate streak and am beating it out of myself. Ugh.
