I'm 19 years old and a college freshman, and needless to say that my relationship with my mother is far from what God wants. My whole life she's kind of just pushed me to the back of her life because I didn't fit into her plan of being married and then starting a family. So when I was 2 and she finally did marry and have other children I wasn't really shown the same amount of love. I grew up in a home with my grandparents instead of my mother and saw her a few times a week. As I grew older I began speaking to her less and less. She never tried to be my mother, she always tried to be a sister. Like you said, it would break my heart to see other girls have a great relationship with their mothers. I've always wanted something like that. But now I'm 19 and attending college 10 hours from home (I live in TX, so I moved from south Tx to west Tx). The distance has made her say she loves me for the first time that I could ever remember and she tries to talk to me every couple of weeks. I'm praying that we find peace, and I hope that you pray for us as well. Thank you so much for this.

I actually love art that depicts the struggles of humanity. The honest, raw, often painful tension we all feel fighting sin and our own brokenness... I know this in my own journey and I think art can draw us into that real reality. Yes, true. Thank you for that addition. James, I absolutely agree!

If you are going to borrow religious imagery, do so respectfully. I would like to add however, that there is some glimmer of hope within Gaga's Judas, that my friend pointed out to me the other day. There is a lyric, "Jesus, you're my virtue, and Judas is my vice I cling to..." How often does that ring true in our lives.... Not just with men or women we are attracted to, but with all our vices, particularly addictions. In Anna Karenina, Anna is in the midst of an affair. Both her and her lover know that what they are doing is wrong, and both recognize that they were meant for something more, but, neither of them can imagine a world without the other. So, they are trapped by the vice they cling to. Consider people hooked on drugs, food, self-injury, pornography and lust, hate and anger. These often terrible things hold power over us, trap us and because we cannot imagine a world with out them, they become the vice we cling to. The seven deadly sins are not deadly because they are particularly grievous. They are deadly because they have this addictive quality to them. They consume us and blind us to what we are doing. Anger, as a sin, isn't just an I am annoyed at loosing a game because I believe I was cheated out of a win, but the anger that instills a blind rage is sinful. When they cannot see the actions they are doing, like the depressed father who drinks and then beats his kids, is stuck in the sin of anger. In Dante's Purgatorio, those who suffer from the sin of anger spend their time enclosed within a pitch black cloud. They are made to understand what their anger did to them in life. it blinded them.
