When he understands, he shows off; and when he does not understand, he pretends that he does. When rich, he is boastful; and when in poverty, he plays the hypocrite. Gorged, he grows brazen; and when he fasts, he becomes arrogant. He quarrels with those who reprove him; and those who forgive him he regards as fools.\u201d<br \/>\n(Mark the Ascetic in the Philokalia)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-15300\" src=\"http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cenic-railway-track-in-lush-african-savannah-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cenic-railway-track-in-lush-african-savannah-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cenic-railway-track-in-lush-african-savannah-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cenic-railway-track-in-lush-african-savannah-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cenic-railway-track-in-lush-african-savannah-640x480.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cenic-railway-track-in-lush-african-savannah.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHe who does not understand God\u2019s judgments walks on a ridge like a knife-edge and is easily unbalanced by every puff of wind.
