Rest

 Need not elaborate. You need to stop phenomenologizing after a long philosophy work, since an ordinary life doesn't phenomenologize. You leave the difficult philosophical and theological questions back in the hands of God. Trust him and live a simple, ordinary life. A note of caution. Even if we ask God the question, "Lord what must I do with my life?" don't expect to hear God answer you back. The mystics really hear an external heavenly voice. But we are not mystics, and ordinary people just call it internal monologue, which must be accepted only if it is reasonable. In the movie Are We There Yet?, Ice Cube always talks to a bobblehead (animated to talk back) in front of his car, which is called external monologue in contrast. It's all in his head of course. But he is sometimes caught by others talking back to it, so it's a half-external monologue😲, just to show that our intellectual life has a very rich way of reasoning out.🤣 It's a good movie to laug...
