Notes on the intimate relationship between holy life, moral capitalization and the process of literary creation (or sanctification through work and study)

1) A good text always starts with a good aphorism. So write sentences full of wisdom.

2) When you already have an accumulated number of aphorisms, sort them by themes. Once classified by themes, you will define an order between one post and another, in order to give a logical chain. This is where the dissertation and the article are created.

3) When you already have several articles accumulated, you will organize a linkage between them so that a larger body of text comes out. Here is the chapter or even a short story.

4) When you put together several chapters or short stories, then you have a book.

5.1) Writing a book is like building a house. You must start with the foundation. And the foundations are the impressions you accumulate over a lifetime in your diary.

5.2) These impressions come from the constant presence of your best part with that omniscient listener and reader, the one that you cannot deceive. And that person is God Himself. After all, the gift of writing is one of the consequences of the gift of self, something that stems from the gift of life, whose author is God Himself.

5.3.1) As we receive this life on loan, we must make this loan payable with interest and monetary correction, to the point of being elevated to holiness, to friendship with God.

5.3.2) 5.3.2) This is the true foundation of moral capitalization - eternal life is the most important objective for making the country a home in Christ, by Christ and for Christ. And a good and wise life founded on conformity to the Whole that comes from God is the most important wealth.
