Good and Evil have the same face;
it all depends on when they cross
the path of each individual human being.
(The Devil and Miss Prym)

We are both good and evil but it all dependson us who we want to become. We can never be always good and we never be always bad, that’s just how life is.

And I Love my mother. It was my fault. I was unwise and I allowed -unconsciouly- Evil to use her as an instrument.

Now I understand,

Love is not sentimental.

I have no more Mother than Jesus.

If I had followed my Mother instead of my mother, Evil couldn´t have used her as an instrument. If he did, that was because I gave him the chance.

I have learnt.

I Hope Jesus is with me now and forever.

Forgiveness for all of us. He has forgiven me. I have also done bad. I am not better neither worse than anyone else, said someone once.

He was deadly right.

Love.

My mother was not guilty, she was just an instrument of Evil. I shouldn´t have had negative feelings toward her.

It is not fair. When is Evil going to stop? Why is he destroying the lifes of the poor humans that he uses?

Jesus. I wish He could come again. I Love Him. I miss Him.

He is the only Salvation.

I want Him to spread Light and Love in the world. We need Him.

He is stronger. He is the strongest. He will come. He is already here. Jesus is already with us. That´s a relief.

Love.

When I was studying Sociology in the 70′s – long time ago! – the main lesson was: you can put one opinion against the other; it demands your drive to get ‘bystanders’ (convincing people thus…) to try and arrive where you possibly want to get. It asks for an openminded position towards others, addressing them openly, listening to what their opinion(s) is/are, and ideally making up the list of pro’s and con’s together. What that period gave me as well was relativity: a good balance between ‘being close with matters – connected – and keeping matters at a distance’.
Two ‘masks’ one might say, but both are ‘me’; each one of them is genuine (and: very important is also: keeping other people closely in mind – ‘for a friend there is no tomorrow’).

Dear Agnieszka, I gave a -belated- reaction to yours in Friday’s discussion about the impact of religion…

Love,
Niek

I tend to think if you look for evil in someone then thats what your projecting ..drawing in ..but if you look for good then thats what you get as good as it gets ..Good movie that one ..No one is perfect I know that but ,at least we should try to see everyones angle face ..the good in them not the faults …Blessings Tania

Day of the none existing contradictions?
Contradictions exists only in our awareness, which is not authentic?

..it depends, from which ‘angle’ we look at it!
It depends, also, on the ‘standard’ of our morality and of our ability to be able to see good in bad and the contrary.
Love,

yes it is true that good and evil have the same face… it is depend on the person if the good one or the bad one he choose to be clear enough and be the guiding path in his life…

Most definitely we are all sinners, except Virgin Mary, who was born without original sin.

Often personal traits are viewed differently depending on when people meet. If a fiance takes you to a medium class restaurant, you will say; oh he is very good with money. Later, if he does the same thing after the two of you are married, you might say; look at how stingy he is! The very same behavior is perceived completely opposite.
