One night last week, I knew that I was going to not be able to
sleep because I took a long nap late in the day. I was somewhat decided on
watching the new Johnny Lingo movie, but last time I watched a movie on my own,
I found my favorite movie; however, Johnny Lingo is up there as my favorite. I
place it above the category of Disney. I already wrote that my favorite movie
is "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time," but the point at this moment is
that it is a cartoon animation.
I was exploring animated films, risking my virtue, chastity, or
purity, and I would like to admonish you to limit the risk of the purity of
your mind to the minimum. I learned that if one is risking it's virtue, he has
already compromised it. I watched a video, introducing me to the greatest
animated films of all time in the opinion of the YouTuber. These films
glorified in destroying the virtue of a soul, and I have written my pondering
on this subject of art. I will start with discussing, the virtue, integrity.
Escapism is next. My initial revelation follows. Exploring unnecessary things
is addressed after that. I conclude returning to the subject of virtue and
chastity. I had Jesse review this article, and he wanted me to add that all art
is not like this.
Why can art deny the morals
of man, which I call integrity? Integrity to me is the honor of a man. If a man
entered into a contract, integrity calls him to live up to everything within
it. Integrity includes all the good principles of life; big to small, for it
esteems the small to be great. Why do artists say that the rules are made to be
broken? If you don't break them, you are limiting yourself.
It glorifies the people without integrity, showing that this is
normal. It promotes immorality, saying that this is the norm; therefore, you
can join it. When the opposite is assumed, the vast majority should have
integrity, which we trust, but Satan wants to destroy all that humanity hopes
for. We hope for integrity in humanity, but he says integrity is not needed to
be heroic and virtuous. You don't need to be pure and clean to be a hero. There
is no integrity and virtue in humanity. These people save and inspire the
world. Heroes are carnal. Heroism is carnal. Is art attractive and carnal? Does
art please the natural man? Can virtue come from filth? Can purity come without
repentance? Here are some examples, where art has no integrity. I have seen
that a boy offered up his virginity to be seen by 45 people for art; secondly,
a pop artist had someone puke on her during a performance. Art is so disturbing
now a days. Describing it is not simple. It seems that the more that it is in
the world of Satan's disorder the more beautiful that it is. What is acted upon
is not beautiful. When one gives up its agency to a being that wants to destroy
the intelligence thereof, the individual is acted upon, usually meaning that we
are following the temptations of Satan; however, this is oftentimes what art
is. A fruit of the spirit of Holiness is temperance. Soap operas are another
example of this too. I see that losing the grasp of yourself may be sought
after when participating or viewing this art.
Escapism seems to be part of it. I feel it, saying "I hate my
life. I don't want to deal with it anymore. Let me forsake my existence for a
moment. Let me give my agency and virtue to another's mercy." This seems
to be tempting because it is a tendency of the natural man. It gets more
attractive the more that you do it, giving up your soul to art and getting lost
in Satan's world. There is a shock value sought after. People want to feel
everything, and people don't want to feel anything. People want to trust
humanity is beautiful, but want to know how they should not trust humanity. Do
artists need to deny themselves of virtue in order to make art? Is this
beautiful?
Pondering why art seems to deny integrity, I see that it is Satan
glorifying himself, blatantly showing himself to the world that denies his
existence, saying this is reality; his reality. Satan does not exist to his
world, but does he? Are the promptings of Satan beautiful? Desires of Satan tells the world that it has
no integrity, trying to help it recognize that there is no hope nor integrity
and virtue. Why are the philosophies of man mingled with scripture and Satan's
deception beautiful? Why is art carnal? Why is denying virtue, destroying it,
and taking it away art? Why does it embrace sin? Is it for money? To be set a
level above another, yet to be united in carnality? To be praised of the world
or accepted? Is it to be heard, seen, expressed, recognized, and understood?
I am prompted to say something about art, teaching that which is
not understandable and should not be understood. Is that which is not
understandable attractive insomuch that we should participate in it again to
try to understand it? Is one understandable? Is recognizing this art? That
which is not understood thrown at an individual for him to seek to understand
is how I understand is overbearance. If the depths of knowledge is revealed to
that which has not the slightest clue about it, the individual may
misunderstand it, and trust can be denied. Can this be beautiful and art? This
seems to be a part of shock value. People want to understand that which is not
understood; even though, it is destructive and chaotic. Satan wants us to be
lost in the depths of that which cannot be understood and should not be
understood. There is a lot of insanity; therefore, we should understand it. Is
insanity the new norm? This is a way Satan wants to destroy trust in humanity
to make us believe that we do not deserve agency and don't have agency. Let's
be acted upon, for it is art. Is chaos and the destruction of life beautiful
and art? This comes from not acting as true intelligence. True intelligence
acts for itself? Does true intelligence do that which is not fruitful? Does
true intelligence create that which does not uplift? Is it acted upon denying
itself agency, integrity, and virtue? Does creating that which is not
understandable come from true intelligence? I was talking to my brother about
how there is a philosophy about how humans think like how computers operate,
and I said that how can someone create that which it doesn't understand.
Computers need to be designed to be understood to be usable. I believe that
there can be foundations of technology that can be created that are not
understood by man, but should we explore that which is not understandable?
Should creating something that is fruitless be art? Should we participate in
that which will not bring progression? What will happen to us, if we do? We
will digress. Can writing a book and reading a book that doesn't make sense be
fruitful? I feel that I can easily do that. Denying virtue and integrity is
easy, but why is it esteemed art? What if I write something that doesn't make
sense to the normal man, but it can make sense? Should it be understood? Would
it be overbearing? Virtue, integrity, and purity is "that which was most
dear and precious above all things, which is chastity and virtue"
according to Mormon, the man that abridged the Book of Mormon.
The talk that impressed me the most in general conference was by
Sister Reeves. She addressed her grandchildren and the world at large
concerning this most dear and precious above all things. She addressed
pornography, but chastity, understanding it, is what I want to write about. The
chastity of man is a pure mind, which does not seeks sexual relationships, but
it seeks eternal life. It requires temperance unto resisting and hating sin,
hearkening to the great mind of God, which is the Holy Ghost continually.
Chastity never seeks the temporary pleasures of the world, but always desires
that which is true and faithful. Chastity has real intent unto these things. It
cannot be obtained without the pure love of Christ of charity. Lusting is sin.
Thou shalt not covet. Chastity is a most vital part of integrity. I truly do
place chastity and virtue as the most dear and precious above all things. I
pondered for hours yesterday about addressing a girl about this subject,
warning her about a guy that wants to take away her chastity and virtue. I will
ensure that my children understand this, counseling with them often to have the
wisdom of the principles of integrity and chastity very early in their lives.
These things are most cherished to me, and I trust my children that they can
apply this wisdom well. Imagine if the two most chaste and virtuous people
marry, having the greatest integrity. Would not this union and relationship be
the most beautiful, happy, and fruitful?
