Hi I have been thinking of your reply because strangely enough you have given me the same reply another two people have.Do you have a spiritual director who is guiding you in these decisions? It sounds to me like you really need to talk to someone because there is some underlying issue. You don’t need to mention it here but I am genuinely concerned that you are making a grave error. If God asks us to be in the world but not of the world, we cannot seclude ourselves because we are unhappy about something. We have to take action to fight it. Believe me, it would seem a lot easier for us to lock away whatever is bothering us but that’s when the problem spirals out of control. You could be the key to evangelization. I pray that you will reconsider. God bless and Happy Easter!
But I still dont think I can contribute absolutely anything to evangelizing. I dont have much hope for a global change and I certainly dont see myself as helping this change in any way, I wouldnt know where to start .
With prayer its the Holy Spirit that can make the changes as I see it.
The world needs it. Seems there has been a drastic rapid change for the worse in morals etc…in the last 7 to 10 years. Just rampant materialism, naricism, hedonism, egoism. I find it very annoying thats why I want to withdraw also. I dont want to be part of this. It distracts from giving Glory to God in my opinion.
What has the secular world to offer? I cant think of anything. How many things does one need to buy? How much money does one need to have? How much of anything?
The richess are to be of the spirit cultivated within and its difficult to do in my view if one is busy distracted with material pursuits.

Utopic.
Utopic is simply something that hasnt become reality yet.
So I have been told I am naive and that life is backstabbing, lying, wearing masks, deceiving, being devious, manipulative etc…etc…and thats how I should live to adapt to the world. That its normal for grown up married people to continue to live like teenagers in every sense in and outside of the household. That I have been brought up in a traditional way that no longer reflects reality and that I should change and adapt.
I dont think so.
Thats not the reason why God gave us life.
I will continue trying my best to be better, they can call me naive.
I am just surrounded by a reality that is not the way I feel. But I will not become that which I dont like just to be part of the norm
Just wish I had a companion in life and prayer to follow the same path with me,
Because society does not reflect our Catholic values does not mean we have to change to adapt to that which has become norm. No way.
