Existance.

The thing I love about the human existence is our ability to constantly evolve, to pull ourselves up from whatever trenches we have fallen into, whatever traps we have managed to ensnare ourselves in. Our minds and imaginations are never an absolute, our potential never finite; the only blockades we will ever come across are the ones we put up ourselves.

Your destiny is as mailable as wet earth; you can mold it to whatever conclusion you see fit. You hold the power to do so, no matter what superficial outside forces try to lead you to believe.

Remember; the things that will try to divert you from your chosen path are not going to be wearing a big, flashing neon sign spelling out “evil”. The serpent understood that long before it dained to show up at the Tree of Knowledge it had to lull Eve into a false sense of security in order to convince her to take a bite of the apple. True evil is seductive like that. It is charming, even charismatic in some cases. It will tell you whatever it knows you need to hear to get what it wants.

But that is the thing. The ability to charm is not the same as being a genuine person with good intentions. Too many gullible people who want to live in a certain state of denial as to the bad things in the world make this mistake. After all, Ted Bundy was an awfully charming fellow who still to this day probably has women who will swoon over him. Scott Peterson has groupies, receives fan letters every week, even wedding proposals. Charles Manson had women crawling on their hands and knees for him and shaving their heads.

Evil can talk a very good game.

It is up to us to learn how to filter out the lip service and jive, and find the genuine souls in this world, because they are truly becoming a dying breed. We need to bring ourselves back to helping our fellow man just out of good will and no other reason. Paying it forward is what helps sustain us and gives us momentum in our own lives, spiritually and literally.
