Hamartia

Mm.

And what is sin if not a falling short as well? Hamartia, the idea of the arrow falling short, being the Greek word that's usually translated as sin, meaning an arrow falling short of the target.

So but that's an idea.

There's something real out there.

did right and i i discovered a book at the time which was for me even like a major gateway opener into men's work which was um that james hollis book um the middle passage from misery to meaning and midlife.

And this idea, he mentioned even of, I think it was called Hamartia, which is this term that happens in Greek tragedies, They're called the Greek tragedies for a reason.

There's always something in there that causes this like downfall of the hero, but it was something that the audience always saw, but the hero never did.

And I so could reflect to myself being run by this not enoughness and outsourcing myself onto everything else, which guess what? If everything worked out here, I would have still been living that facade my entire life.

Chet.

Now, in the, in the New Testament, there's also the Greek equivalent, hamartia.

Hamartia.

H-A-M-A-R-T-I-A, hamartia.

This is the principal New Testament word for sin.

Amen.

Chet.

Hamartia.
