A Safe, Monastery Life

With a world increasing in knowledge, not discernment, science expands its universe in space; you will encounter a few whom the Lord will send... to seek a safe,monastery life! The Middle Ages were a great escape from the vandals that invaded their land; and thus,many geniuses brought new thought to light, and civilization was saved by these courageous monks! Why are the prisons being overcrowded by the minute, are we losing touch with conscience, and is guilt excluded from the senses? Some don't even feel the sense of guilt, unremorsefully in front of judges who deplore... and the offenders ludicrously defy justice; are we becoming a society of lawless ingrates, or are we going back to the Dark Ages? Chaos seems stunning nowdays... if it surfaces without notice, all that we built and its splendor can turn into ashes like charcoal; the events, unfolding before our faces, will be more catasthrophic... compared to what occurred,over the centuries, throughout those lands plagued by deadly diseases! Choosing a safe, monastery life is not only precocious, but wise; if your calling is truly spiritual: be the sagest of the sage... not consumating a self-image; devotion is a not a demise of the faithful!
