 <p>I think that I gave too much importance to <em>faithful, consistent</em> participation in church and church activities for, if nothing else, the appearance of at least trying to participate in the church ...

 <p>It's certainly <strong>NOT</strong> that going to church is a bad thing, even if people just going through the motions for reasons they don't fully understand ... orbiting a dead center of mass is AT LEAST being in orbit ... THE problem with participating in church activities, is the same as DRIVING TO the gym instead of walking more including walking to the gym -- the problem is that while one is going through the motions, doing the mindless thing, one is failing to do the HARDER, TOUGHER, IMPOSSIBLE contemplative thing that nobody sees ... and the REASON that the contemplative thing matters is definitely NOT the contemplation -- it is the FRUIT of the contemplation, ie specifically HOW does the contemplation CHANGE one ... not the outward physical manifestation of the <em>change</em>, ie <em>as a result of my contemplation, I decided to PLAN, DO, CHECK and ACT systematically on long-term project X</em>* but the internal and ETERNAL <em><strong>change</strong></em> itself.</p>
