There are demons in this world, there are narcissists, and selfish people, but there is NO EVIL.

I promise, there is no such thing in this world as inherent evil. Everybody works from either self-defense or the belief they are doing the right thing. From demons to witches to a common-ass narcissist or a psychopath. This includes Satan as it includes Hitler and Lucifer (all different people), devil worshippers, and it includes God, and it includes Allah, both of whose actions are sometimes quite questionable. It even includes my own nemesis whose personal views and inclinations directly contradict those of mine – not out of evil but out of profoundly different personality… Or, shall we say, different embarrassments to mine, as I’ll point out later.

Evil is the work of fear brought in by stupidity and ignorance, and mistrust of other people. The worst thing in this world is fear. Unfortunately, we often find ourselves fighting evil with fear, while fear is the root of the problem itself. When we try to scare people into doing the right thing, we make matters worse, not better.

Further, unfortunately, some of the things we do simply because we must can be seen as “scare-mongering,” such as saying “I want a divorce” when truly, you just want out of a marriage, but the other person feels it is a scare-strategy and not real. Not everything that makes a person afraid is done to scare them, I’m saying.

Demons are trying to tell you you are doing the wrong thing.

By a demon, I mean a demon. I mean a spirit-entity that haunts some people. I’m not going to go into detail about where they came from; I’m just saying I mean the real demon thing, but not in a physical form.

Demons are not attracted to good people. They go for what they perceive to be evil. They see it as their job to scare you from going further down the path to evil selfishness and corruption. It is their job to bring you back to God or at least to living well.

Unfortunately, it is not the best strategy, but neither is forgiveness. God is trying to forgive everyone and then give them a second chance to do the right thing, believing that people will stop doing the wrong thing if they’re given love and security. But a traumatized mind won’t stop doing the wrong thing when they’re safe, they’ll continue taking advantage of gullible people. Not out of evil, but out of belief, people are not genuinely good; we’re all born sinners after all.

In the root of it all is a fear of people. A person who is afraid of others cannot do the right thing by them. The less you fear, the less you wrong others, but who is completely without fear, I wonder?

People’s greatest fear is embarrassment.

People fear embarrassment more than they fear death, ghosts, or failure. How many horrible situations do people push through out of simple fear of embarrassment, to be found out as being a coward, a fool, gullible, weak, a goody-two-shoe, or whatever, a loser? We live our lives trying to avoid embarrassment, the embarrassment of not being loved or cared for. Not really the abandonment itself, but the embarrasment of it. When you realize that for the most part, you’re afraid of nothing more than embarrassment, maybe you can start living a little freer. Maybe you can take a few more risks.

The fear of embarrassment of not knowing how to be a proper human being leads a person to do a whole lot of horrible things. They may simply stop trying. “I don’t know what you want of me, so I’ll dye my hair green, get myself a pair of fancy contact lenses, call myself a dragon, and expect you all to pander to MY impossible demands because what you are asking me to do is simply impossible to make sense out of!”

Once we get “caught” we fight a lifetime against the embarrassment.

What we are embarrassed about, we often try to counterbalance by the opposite or putting in an extreme amount of effort into proving the opposite. Mine? I’m embarrassed about not contributing to the society enough. So I decide to heal the entire world spiritually and psychologically speaking… Or die trying. Not entirely a bad thing, I think, but you know, that’s what drives me… In part. (This is the year 13, and the post 3000 something. Not counting the deleted ones. I also scold myself for lacking fortitude and being impatient and for having a short attention span.)

If you manage to embarrass someone for a trait of some description, you’ll set them to either avoid it or to try to prove it to be the opposite for their entire life… Or until they resolve it for themselves. For the love of god, try not to embarrass people for being weak, nice, or good… Or you’ll create evil… The closest thing to evil this world has.

Shield yourself by admitting to yourself what you’re embarrassed about.

The best remedy against all of this is admitting to yourself what things you’re ashamed of about yourself, embarrassed about. Once you’ve accepted certain facts about yourself, it’s easier to just start plugging out those flaws or learn to accept them. Sometimes, you can joyfully embrace them and realize that you know what, that’s actually a pretty cool trait after having a little thought about it.

You don’t have to make any of your embarrassments public, but you know what? Would make a pretty nice social media  or blog post. ;p
