I want to know what fellow members thought about this.
Which option do you think is the better path?
The first option is to be a supreme purity man of God like
Mihailo Tolotos and his friends on Mount Athos. At first glance this is the ultimate goal of our lives on Earth, to serve God and be the instrument of His will. But after closer look, from a certain point of view it looks that Mihailo and his friends on Mount Athos are actually very selfish people. They worshipped God so their souls can be saved from hell, yet they do not care about other people and events outside their monastery. They do not actively help others to achieve their salvation, or doing other tangible things such as giving alms, giving jobs to people in need or even paying taxes. In real life almost no one know Mihailo and friends, and not every Orthodox even knows them. They spend their entire lives secluded in a mountain doing nothing except praying, and consequently they produced almost nothing.
On the opposite we have men who acts like total assholes, but actually they do God's work to the max.
- Maha Vajiralongkorn: he and his ancestors protected his country and millions of people from colonialism and humiliation. Now his country is an advanced industrialized country where millions lives happily ever after. Yes he looks like a jerk by having multiple wives, concubines and harems, and children from multiple wives. Not to mention his tank top and tattoo. But despite his jerk attitude he bears good fruits in the form of protecting and giving prosperity to millions of people.
- Hassanal Bolkiah: He alongside with his brother, Jefri Bolkiah, lives an extravagant life with multiple car collections, multiple wives and harems. They live like Dan Bilzerian and Tristan Tate. But despite all they successfully led their country to peace and prosperity. So this is far bigger than just giving alms and setting up an orphanage.
- Soekarno: He has at least nine wives. He was a natural alpha and has already practiced game far before it became mainstream. He managed to marry his own former landlord and even managed to marry a hot much younger Japanese woman. He supposedly when blackmailed by KGB with sex tape he thinks of it as a compliment and asked for more copies. Despite his lust he gives freedom to millions of people from colonialism and kicked foreigners out of the country. So a lustful man single-handedly managed to do much more than Mihailo and friends with their spiritual superiority.
This is just a few examples. There are more people like this such as Norodom Sihanouk, Rodrigo Duterte, and even Donald Trump. Men of the bible such as David and Solomon even acts like this.
So what do you think? should we become a spiritually pure person that produce nothing or a person which is not too spiritual but produce good fruits?
Personally I lean towards the latter. I think it is OK if we love hot women as long as we do good deeds. But I'm asking for your opinion in case I made a mistake in judgement.
