Evil

Evil is not an abstraction, an image or a symbol. It belongs to people in their flesh and blood.

Evil is inside of us, inside of our person.

Evil is not objective, but subjective.

If we objectify it, if we deify it, then it will dominate and paralyze us forever.

It would become invincible.

Evil is a deformed perception of self and other, of reality.

Follow your own mission

If you have the courage to follow your own mission then you can be certain that it will give meaning to your life.
As you discover the aspirations of your soul and -as a consequence- the reason for your existence, the sensation of being truly yourself, of experiencing the authenticity of life and of being a real help to others will always accompany you.
You will always feel full, alive, creative, passionate; never empty, unsatisfied, useless or ceaselessly restless.
Not only that, but by following your own vision you will be able to give priority to what really matters and this will become crucial for you.
You will not allow yourself to be taken in by useless matters or things that distract you from your life plan.
To fulfill it, you will take maximum advantage of your energy.
Above all, you will not be prey to arrogant, false, opportunistic or envious people.
You will not waste your own existence.
You will find faith and esteem in yourself.
You will overcome the fear of abandonment and failure.
The more you follow your vision, the more faith you will gain.
Last but not least, by fulfilling your vocation, incredibly the entire universe will surround you, become your friend and help you.
Ever since my first book, “To Be Happy,” and long before that, I affirmed that each one of us is unique and irrepeatable. Now everyone has copied me. And so it is.
In any case, I should also tell you that you can’t run away from your mission.
Or better; you can rebel against it, ignore it, betray it, forget it or abandon it but in doing so a high price must be paid. A painful and lacerating price, resulting in nothing less than the annihilation of your entire person.
