Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 After some introspection, I discovered that everything bad [and good], evil [and divine] I have ever perceived in another human being is also present in me. Further, it is present in me All the Time. I contain All... that is the only way, I am ever able to understand [or 'guess'] anything about other human being. I contain All and that is why I Am able to have empathy, compassion, kindness, forgiveness as well as understanding of the root of violence and evil. I am both saintly and evil. Evil is not somebody other than me nor is a detached saint. And, I am not going to be able to get rid of either my evil part nor my saintly part. I discovered that it is really possible for me to laugh at somebody else dying or on seeing somebody else in pain. In fact, it is possible for me to laugh at even my wife's, my child's or my own pain, discomfort or death. It is also possible for me to cry my heart out and feel great empathy and compassion for seeing someone else in distress. And, I contain both these possibilities All the Time! I discovered that I can indeed derive great pleasure by saying something stressful to my wife that I know[guess] will cause her great emotion distress and will make her depressed. I discovered that I can feel happy by seeing my wife in pain*. And, I discovered that I can also derive great pleasure by making my wife or someone else happy. I can feel immense happiness on seeing my child or someone else happy. And, both the possibilities exist in me All the Time. I contain All and I can't really change that. I contain both the evil and the saint and I can't really change that. I contain both hate and love, jealousy and compassion, kindness and violence, fear and courage, greed and gratefulness... and I can't really change that. I contain both heaven and hell and I can't really change that. My choice and power lies in only what I choose to use, serve, feed, obey and develop and grow. And, only I can really decide that. Other than that - evil I Am, Saint I Am... and, that is true All the Time. ---- * Seeing that, helped me understand [or guess] other humans too.

'you' are here now. now is All. ..b b.b. > ---- > * Seeing that, helped me understand [or guess] > other humans too. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
