DIVINE WAR IN EVERY MAN: GOOD VS EVIL

I am a mild man, who avoids doing things that are worthy of scorn. That is just me, but I begun writing this article when it occurred to me that I sometimes feels like doing things that are truly atrocious. It also occurred to me that I sometimes do things that I strongly think are evil.

After that I conducted a small investigation and came to a conclusion that in every human there is potential for good as strong as the potential for evil. This two are like a buffalo and a lion trying to survive in the same savanna. And each wins at one point or another, when each one wins we feel a sense of satisfaction that I so often would like to call gratification.

 There is this strong desire to satisfy our canal needs that sometimes we even feel that our moral obligations are such a heavy burden to bear. Evil is this ferry god mother who gives you what you want when you want it. Evil is self pleasure at the cost of societal pain that finally returns to you a hundred folds. When you have caused pain to another, you never know how many more in secret have shared in the pain.

On the other hand, fulfillment of good normally gives longer gratification. It leaves your mind free from guilt. It is the true living of a moment at a time; this is possible because you are less likely to dwell in the past. When you think of it however it is a positive motivation that encourages you to face the future.

All the days of our lives from childhood to death we have a choice to do good or evil. Evil as good is a conscious choice to make even unto death. There is no man who is evil just because he is himself or good because he is himself. It is a choice, and each independent action is a separate determinant of whether a person is good or evil.

I always would like to think that good is from your spirit and evil from your flesh. The mind is the conduit for the expression of both. Evil as good is a conscious choice and either of them pursued without faltering leads to eternal sleep which is the common end of man. Choosing to do good is the highest calling for all humanity. Evil on the other hand gratifies only one person but it breaks the threads that hold the society together.

There is no good without consciousness or evil without consciousness. Without consciousness and choice they are simply boons and disasters. But with conscious thinking and awareness of the end result of a choice, it becomes good or evil.

You and me both have the choice of doing good or evil placed before us. It is only you that can mae that choice. With this nowledge you have enough information and awareness to monitor your desire and will, BUT AS YOUR FRIEND, I call upon you today to pursue good at all cost to enjoy a better life.
