I am hated for impersonal reasons. I am blamed for things I did not do. I am expected to be selfless by those who are selfish.
The reasons are insincere, always. When I am hated for my race, religion, nationality or sex it is because the haters want something… not because I did anything wrong. The grievances are excuses, whether legitimate or not.
EVIL is never good because of a greater evil. The sins of another do not justify your own.
JEALOUSY never justifies. On the contrary: It motivated the first murder.
Right and wrong are not actually matters of good and evil. If you are wronged you have a right to do something about it… but you shall be judged regardless. The merciful shall be spared. The merciless shall be damned.
God is love. The wicked are hateful. The Spirit is friendship. The wicked are unfriendly. The Word is truth. The wicked are liars.
I am hated by the hateful, mistreated by the unfriendly
and slandered by liars. We all are. It is why our world is miserable. Those other
reasons have nothing to do with it.
Hate is self-destructive, isolating people from those around them. It gives nothing, but takes so much. In truth, it is a gaping hole where love should be.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. As it festers, you become willing to sacrifice yourself to destroy someone else.
DeleteI do want to say here that people don't go to hell because they are being punished as much as they go to hell because they simply don't want God. Punishment is there, but people asked for it.
ReplyDeleteThat is how they turned this world into a hell. It isn't a hell naturally. It can't stay that way unless it's kept that way.
DeleteIndeed, wicked people reject Love and Friendship and prefer to live a lie. Our Earth has ALL the resources to make a utopia, yet the wicked would rather create scarcity and horde wealth in vain. These people will suffer for turning this world to a living hell, The Truth demands it and they don't get a say.
ReplyDeleteExactly! They got a say in this world and we all suffer for it. The depraved would rather suffer to make us suffer than to make life better for everyone.
