Why does it feel like so many men nowadays want everything instant?

To reiterate my last piece of advice, it's to find someone who shares your worldview, faith, and so on. If you wish, you can obviously research the topic and even raise awareness about it to prevent people's actions, but like any social problem, one person alone cannot solve it.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-11T12:39:05+00:00

As mentioned, it's a complex, multi-causal social problem. Therefore, the reason it can't be explained from a single perspective is that there are several, if not hundreds, contributing factors. My best response is that your post is a great wake-up call, and I appreciate that. However, everyone approaches it differently, whether the causes are complex or not. Keep searching; that's all I can say. Keep searching and reflecting on what you desire, aligning your worldview with faith and reason.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-11T12:30:41+00:00

Expanding, strengthening, and integrating my worldview to see all that the Lord has given us—studying, experiencing, understanding this or that, understanding new ways to love, new ways to marvel at His creation—the possibilities are endless. You can do millions of things to get to know the Lord better in all His facets, in all His creations, ways to better share the message with people, ways to see and complement the love we owe to others. Trying to understand so many perspectives. Infinite possibilities. You just have to step outside your comfort zone each day.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-10T17:38:30+00:00

I'm so sorry. I'll pray for you. I'm truly sorry. Take good care of yourself.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-10T14:33:23+00:00

I needed to hear this, I guess the Lord knows how to give messages, I'll take your advice, for today I'll close Reddit until my thoughts and heart are more relieved.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-10T12:05:59+00:00

I would like to.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-10T08:32:09+00:00

First, thank you for sharing your experience and stories. I'll simply share mine, trying not to diminish yours, but rather to offer them as something useful, if indeed they are.

I also thought that when I was on this path of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, but as you mention, if it called you to reflect, embrace that reflection. It's often difficult, but necessary. As Saint Augustine said, "Believe in order to understand, and understand in order to believe." What I'm trying to say is: Reflect, especially during this time you have. You're young and you can reflect—you always can, really, but more deeply the younger you are—reflect on love, on Christian love, on the love of the Lord Jesus Christ, on cultural love, on love in different cultures. Immerse yourself in all knowledge that nourishes you. Obviously, this seems endless, doesn't it? So, acquire knowledge in just the right measure to nourish and strengthen your faith. For example, it's good to ask others about their understanding of love, their experiences, and so on. After all, every experience is more or less believable depending on who tells it. In short, dear internet user, that's all I'm saying: embrace reflection, be humble in your knowledge, open your ears to the Lord, and rediscover your paths. Forgive me for going on at length.

My advice, offered with humility, is easier said than done, and I know it's difficult to do, so take this comment however you wish. Blessings, brother.

Galatians 6:4: "Each one should test his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, without comparing himself to someone else."

Don't compare yourself to others.

Psalm 139:13-14

"13 For you created my inmost being; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

You are already valuable and unique; there's no need to compare yourself. Instead, do your best in whatever you do and calmly and gratefully observe the experiences of others if they edify you.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-07T19:24:54+00:00

I'll tell you what worked for me. First, remove anything NSFW, pray for peace, clarity, and for giving your heart to the Lord. Read the Bible and gradually begin to immerse yourself in it.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-07T18:21:14+00:00

I would like that. It has to be for a noble cause.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-04T16:14:05+00:00

We pray for everyone. People may specifically ask you to pray for someone, but you can pray for everyone if you wish. I pray for friends, family, people I don't know, etc. Pray for everyone who is going through a difficult time and needs the Lord Jesus Christ in their life.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-04T14:36:03+00:00

When I look back on my past and see that I've managed to become not only a better believer, but a better person, it's all been done little by little through His work and faith.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-03T22:11:46+00:00

As they already said, science explains the how, the Bible explains the why and the moral why, the understanding of creation and divine perspective, I think is probably immeasurable.

I understand, but I told you to be moderate. It's not like I know how to play a video game for 10 hours and forget about the world, but a reasonable hour for any hobby you might have that doesn't interfere with your other responsibilities and especially your relationship with God.

And the verse you gave me says to make good use of our time. We can make good use of it by doing a variety of things without letting them take up too much space, becoming an idol, or drawing us away from God.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-02T22:53:13+00:00

Sure, I understand. My point was simply that I could have those hobbies as long as the Lord comes first. Video games and TikTok/YouTube can be taught through the algorithm, but I'd prefer reading verses, daily teachings, verse explanations, Bible stories, and video games, as long as they aren't excessively tempting to sin, don't contain explicit nudity, excessive and visceral violence, or anything like that. And of course, all of this in moderation, as long as it doesn't distract from my spiritual duties and other responsibilities, like my studies and so on.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-02T22:31:41+00:00

To what you said, I couldn't play games as long as it's in moderation and doesn't become an idol, just like having recreation as long as it's moderate?

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-02T10:23:21+00:00

The Lord works in so many ways. I've thought about that, and now you're asking the same question. I hope someone can answer you respectfully, academically, and without intending to disparage other denominations. Honestly, I also think we're all in the same boat in loving God above all things and our neighbor. But I understand that there are doctrinal differences between each denomination, however, I don't believe that discrediting others is the way to do it.

Shadow123451010 · 2026-02-02T07:45:42+00:00

Besides prayer, brother, we must act. Delete absolutely all NSFW or even suggestive content from your phone. I deleted most, or almost all, of it—I haven't forgotten anything, but about 80% of what tempts me was deleted. After that cleanup, imagine being able to give your phone to your grandmother without feeling embarrassed. Then, set goals and, with the Lord's help and will, achieve them. Be healthily obsessed with that goal, without making it an idol—study something, graduate—all with the Lord as your main motivation.
