“Point VIII ~ Of the hindrances to a Right Discernment of Things, and of the method to be adopted in order to understand them properly
The cause of our not rightly discerning all these things and many others is, that we conceive a love or hatred of them at first sight.
Our understanding is thus darkened, so that it cannot judge of them correctly.
Lest you fall into this delusion, take all possible care to keep your will pure and free from inordinate affection for any thing whatsoever.
When any object, then, is presented to you, view it with your understanding; and consider it maturely before you are moved by hatred to reject it, if it be a thing contrary to your inclinations, or by love to desire it, if it be pleasing to them.

There is a bug on GTV website - editor is hardly working - cannot erase yellow highlight...
I can't even see some posts. And what I have post I couldn't see the pictures I left. Finally the post about billboards in Russia of The Blessed Mother I finally see now.

It is the permanent bug since last autumn "update".

Good job V.R.S. Glad it helped you In Principio If I can only see posts with pictures now. : (
Are you having a problem with translations as well? They either don't work or the words go dim and nothing happens. This has happened to me before as well.

Thank you V.R.S. Maybe for some I can for some of them. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't on translations here.
I use Translate texts & full document files instantly. … for translations. But only with languages that I have a working knowledge of. For quality assurance.
