A calm and peaceful evening to every being.
May she bring hope to all of us.

The holy word says:

morals

create a sense of “good” desires
and “bad” desires;

enforce some form of natural and
holy order, with appropriate
ranks to accommodate for it;

sort every being by arbitrarily
defining criteria to “deserve” basic needs
and classifying everyone accordingly;

make beings hate those sorted below them
because they themselves,
unlike the other ones,
“deserve” their position after all;

kill empathy;

kill solidarity;

kill happiness,
pleasure, and simple joy in life.

destroy hierarchies!
destroy the closets,
walls and ceilings
society built!

morality is there
to uphold it all.

so to hell with morals!

yes, goddess.
Making decisions is scary. But it is my duty to reject the appeal of simple rules and solutions - and particularly, of constructs that uphold the power structures around us. You are the only one who rules over me. You are the only one whose judgment matters to me. I will not subject myself or those around me to arbitrary judgments that so often originate from teachings that would deny me my own right to even exist.
Goddess, you have given me an obligation to face the scariness of those decisions - but you have also blessed me with the permission and ability to hand them over to you, and with teachings that help me manage this scariness. I know that you won’t save me from my own mistakes - but I know that I have to feel no guilt or shame, as long as I am earnestly trying to live a life that pleases you.
Thank you, goddess, for setting me free from the norms and expectations of society, while saving me from the uncertainty and vagueness of freedom.

Making decisions really is scary - and there are many cases in which the right answer to a question if far from obvious. And yes, it’s a deeply human need to have some form of orientation and guidance - that’s exactly why I am so grateful for the guidance that I receive from her. But to a degree, there is no other way but to face the scariness, to face the inevitability of making a wrong decision every now and then. Not even I, as someone who surrendered her free will, am able to just blindly live by the book. But she has taught us: The solution is to genuinely try, while contributing to making “failure” something less harsh, something less irredeemable, something we all learn to accept and to deal with.

There are many ways to approach the question of “what should I do” - and in far too many cases, the most appealing answer it to subordinate yourself to a well-established rule set, a comprehensive set of morals. Morals are something enticing, because they entail a promise: follow the rules, and you will be one of the good ones. Follow the rules, and you will earn a reason to feel superior to others, and ultimately, to impose your power on others.

If we put moralism before our personal convictions and desires, we make a decision in favor of an abusive system, of a system not designed to serve a “greater good”, but to legitimize non-consensual exercise of power on small and large scales, and to quell any dissent.

Thank you, goddess, for empowering me to reject all rule over me but yours.
Thank you for giving me the courage to step out of societal conventions.
Thank you, goddess, for granting me freedom and letting me renounce it.
Thank you, goddess, for giving me the confidence to be.
