The part where he talks about the stupid stuff he did in his youth, such as stealing baskets full of pears to throw to pigs, purely to test boundaries and do the opposite of expectations is so relatable. My mind flooded with the idiotic shit I did as a young teen upon reading this section, things to idiotic I won't even mention them out of embarrassment.

Mention them OP, you are anonymous and you are like augustine. It is reputable to know all your mistakes, and entertaining to read for others

There's too many to mention.
But here's 2.
We used to go to a local golf course and pick up a golfball ball after it was hit by a golfer. We also used to stand at a motorway and throw stones at passing cars...
I knew what I was doing was morally wrong and that it could lead to someone being hurt, but I still did it despite those feelings.

Nice, we did similar shit, but more timidly and desu pussy-tier than that, like we used to but nails all over our neighborhood street to flatten tires of incoming cars but idr ever it having an effect.

There was also a sad old man who lived up the street with boarded up windows who always dressed in a blue jumpsuit and had a long tolstoy beard, we dared each other to up to him once when we saw him drinking coffee alone at mcdonalds and ask some random question and then rum back and laugh at the answer he gave.

It was nice to read your confession OP, almsot cathartic and healing in some way, despite it not being me

It’s funny that a Manichean would absolutely pervert Christ’s message with anti life dogma

Augustine described his acts in the same way I experienced it. The absurdity of doing something you knew was wrong, while still extracting some enjoyment from it, is why I did it. In addition to being overtaken by a mob/friend mentality.

I wish I did more idiotic things as a teenager instead of being an agreeable compliant little cuck
