Choose Your Destiny

Everyone has a sense of good and evil. Even those who disbelieve in such distinctions act as if they actually do. They simply favor evil and refuse to admit it, even to themselves. They fear goodness, hoping there is a way to escape the consequences of acting against it.

People think to control what is good or evil by making the rules. Morality is replaced with honor, ethics and laws. Good and evil are supposed to be order and chaos or right and wrong instead.

Our sense of good and evil is not because of the rules, no matter the form the rules take. Our notions vary but not the reality. The certainty is when we are alone.

Darkness and silence is the moment of truth. Are you at peace… or restless?

I am blamed by the guilty and hated by the unfriendly. I am cursed for my blessings and condemned for my innocence.

In the darkness I am at peace. I bask in the silence. All are friendly for there is only me. All is good because it is only me. I am satisfied.

Heaven and earth languish. The inhabitants yearn and struggle. All of Creation groans. For all its cheap thrills and instant gratifications, there is never satisfaction. All is consumed and nothing comes of it. What little fruit is born is poisonous. What good deeds are done are like filthy rags.

You can burn hospitals and orphanages to the ground, with everyone in them. You can rape and murder children, even skin them alive. There is only one sin never to be forgiven, just one. According to the Truth himself, it is the worst of all others.

Why?

To blaspheme the Holy Spirit is to curse goodness itself. A man speaks from the abundance of his heart. If he speaks against goodness, he is not merely making a mistake. His sin is not because of confusion or desperation or a moment of passion. He is evil at heart.
