All the people in your life can be categorized into two categories- blocked and unblocked. People you’ve blocked, you’ve blocked for a reason. They’ve caused you inconvenience and pain. The people you’ve not blocked, you’ve chosen to keep in your life. They add value to your life. Like many things in life, things aren’t always black and white. Ther...
1. Ego

And partly, it’s because of the phenomenon I call ‘psychological blocking’. You may unblock someone on your phone and all social media platforms, but you may stil...

“If you make a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not delay fulfilling it, for the LORD your God will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin. But if you refrain from vowing, you will ...
Apr 2, 2024 · Ending a relationship by blocking someone may be a response to toxic dynamics causing emotional turmoil and distress. When dealing with toxic friendships or emotional abuse, setting boundaries becomes a crucial step towards preserving one’s mental well-being.
The Bible warns us of the danger of this: (Deut 23:21) (NASB) When you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it, for it would be sin in you, and the Lord your God will surely require it of you. (22) However, if you refrain from vowing, it would not be sin in you.
