Augustine
“From this hell upon earth there is no escape, save through the grace of the Saviour Christ, our God and Lord. The very name Jesus shows this, for it means Saviour; and He saves[Pg 521] us especially from passing out of this life into a more wretched and eternal state, which is rather a death than a life. For in this life, though holy men and holy pursuits afford us great consolations, yet the blessings which men crave are not invariably bestowed upon them, lest religion should be cultivated for the sake of these temporal advantages, while it ought rather to be cultivated for the sake of that other life from which all evil is excluded. Therefore, also, does grace aid good men in the midst of present calamities, so that they are enabled to endure them with a constancy proportioned to their faith. The world's sages affirm that philosophy contributes something to this,—that philosophy which, according to Cicero, the gods have bestowed in its purity only on a few men.”
City of God (ch.25)

FPWP. A literally mentally ill commie who killed his wife. (b-but the content of his thought) just 20th century Marxist theory, definitely not "wholesome" in any event.

>>13905944

Much too edgy to be "wholesome".

It's important to distinguish between "wholesome" and "right". Certain Christian and ancient Eastern thinkers would seem to fit the bill. Also any Western Ancients who didn't devote texts to the goodness of pederasty (so Plato's out... did Marcus Aurelius ever write anything on the subject?)
