Constant Annoyance
Published January 29, 2009 | At work today, there are these window cleaners right outside my window. Imagine someone just behind your computer monitor doing “wax on, wax off” while you are trying to concentrate. But that’s not all! They aren’t just using the soap and squeegee. They are buffing the windows with an electric buffer! It is the most grating and distracting thing I could possibly think of.
As I think about it, it is not terribly unlike the barrage of images that constantly seem to attack my eyes and tempt me to lust. From television, print advertising, maybe the occasional jogger, email spam, even my MSN Messenger client with those stupid dating or diet flash ads. All of these things distract me from the purity that I desire.
I am sitting here listening to music on my mp3 player trying to drown out the noise. I closed the blinds so I don’t have to watch the guy “buff” the windows. Even with these measures, the annoyance is only muted, not completely removed.
Following the analogy, what can we do to drown out the distractions from our goal of sexual purity?
One thing that comes to mine is to only watch recorded TV shows so that I can fast-forward through commercials (long live the DVR!).
I know that techniques only turn down the volume and do not address the heart issue. But they can make it more bearable to walk through life without feeling like a dog in heat!
What other ideas are out there? How can we drown out the constant annoyances that distract us from purity?
