“that some people are just evil”
This is one small point where I differ. Every human has a soul that is a creation of the One God and is pure. I Love that soul in everyone.
However, sometimes good souls do things that open them up to outside influence that leads them astray and causes them to act evil.
I always Love the person, but not the outside influence nor the behavior.
This is also the belief shared by Scott Peck MD in his book “People of the Lie; The psychology of evil”
It is my Love for the person’s soul that makes it unsuitable for the dark spirit to stay there when confronted. I’ve had people bark, growl and hiss at me when I just walked up to them, until the evil spirit left and then the tears flowed like rivers.
It is not me doing this.. My strength only comes from my weakness.
Tired&Retired,
I understand what you are saying. To expand further on my that some people are just evil: they have departed willfully from “their good soul,” so to speak and have embraced “the lie” that Scott Peck wrote about. Somewhere within them is their true good soul, but they have willfully repressed it because they embraced the lie.
Sometimes it is the work that you and similar folks do in finding and releasing that inner good soul from “the prison” that it is kept inside of.
