Most people are evil. Everyone else is to blame, however. Well, not really… but I follow the logic. The wicked find solace in noticing the sins of others. It is as if a worse evil turns a lesser evil into something good. In truth, any sin is every sin. Relativity cannot justify.
A good man does not measure his righteousness. He is righteous or not. He judges himself, without comparisons to others. He does not decide beforehand what he shall see, but rather he sees what he sees whether he likes it or not. He does something about what he finds: channeling his energy into what is right about him at the expense of what is wrong about him.
It is good to judge others… but only after you have judged yourself. Your judgment is never to condemn, however. You seek and acknowledge what is good about yourself and what is good about others. You delight in finding the good in your enemies, hoping it shall be what turns them into friends.
The Lord of Spirits is the Holy Spirit, friendship itself. It is freedom and justice as they truly are. As friendship, it hopes for the best for everyone. As freedom it endows you to sow and as justice, to reap what you have sown.
Most people are evil. What does it matter? A good man is what he is regardless of everyone else. He shall do good for goodness sake, even if the last one to do so.
Good people are not alone. There are others out there.
They are the few lost in the crowd of the many… as the few who stand out from
the crowd. They are the examples to those who yearn to care, but simply need a
good reason to do so. The inspired inspire others… and goodness increases
accordingly.
