when is a person allowed to have time for himself?
in a holiday? what if there will be no holiday or very rare? when I finish uni? but uni is not the end goal for me. The end goal is to change the world and for me to feel confident and comfortable about myself and when dealing with others
but without uni I don't think I will have drive for anything else. It is important to desire to be educated
I want to make time for myself to make this world a better place in terms of less boring better ability to socialise
etc but people such as my parents and those who know what I do are always insisting I am wasting my time on forums and others when they see me distracted about things it is unacceptable they curse me
I am going to decide to work as hard as I can until God pities me and sets me free
but if I was supposed to work alot why am I tempted by the flesh?
just like it is impossible to stop people coughing what I thought in hatred to me it is impossible to remove the temptations of the body which have a constant voice such as coughing. Constant destruction is attacking me
why would God allow engineering and many others courses to be designed to be this hard? you can't just learn what you are good at if you are going to apply yourself in the real world there should be a non stress free way of applying yourself as a scientist by learning of other fields in a non structured environment such as non a university course but I know a degree makes people willing to help you in that field

Time is one enermy we share Mike. I'm glad you do post on this forum, but maybe you can work out a time with your parents.
As for coughing, it comes from the flesh and you feel from those hating you. But the other side is that you are tempted by the flesh you see. Are you supposed to love all? If yes, then forgive those who hate you and forgive the ones who were weak and tempted you.
May God help you to carry out what is important to you and forgive those who distract you that you find peace.
