Confusion

Everything is confusing. The conflict that the spiritual has with the body. At the end of the day, which do we choose, and why? Our desire for individual meaning, but the necessity of giving up the self for God in order to find meaning. Our desire for power, but our inherent powerlessness and frailty. Our selfishness and our valuation of humility. Our lust, and our need to suppress our sexual instinct. Like Romans seven says, to paraphrase, I do not want to do, that which I do, and that which I do want to do, I don't do. In the end, where are these tensions resolved? There is no hegelian synthesis. Merely good and evil. How is the latter overcome? By God alone.
