Watch Out For Mistranslations Causing Misunderstandings
Beware mistranslations and misunderstanding, lost in time and lost in context, regarding how we view and treat others, and what they may or may not be doing. Also beware of past political agendas, and simple lack of knowledge. It is possible some things discussed in ancient texts simply no longer exist, and we change what they are to be something we now have. Like an apple, or was it a pomegranate, or perhaps it was something we no longer have?
Evil Tools? or Evil People?
There are many tools in the world, and mysteries. None of these things are in themselves naturally evil. But, any tool may be used as good or bad, in a right or wrong way. It is a decision left in the choices of the individual, and it is their responsibility to choose rightly. It does not matter if the tool is a knife, knowledge, bible, tarot, or a talent like illusion magic, music, or art. Each thing may be used positively or negatively, and it is our choice to decide how we will use that tool. Some tools are better left out of our hands and temptations, but we should not immediately assume or judge others negatively for using these tools. With great power comes great responsibility, regarding the use of tools, or in the use of knowledge.
Evil Gifts?
Some people never choose for certain gifts to be given onto them, should we judge them and persecute them for these gifts? Many children have been known to see those that have crossed over, and speak of these encounters. Are these children evil? Can something created by Monks illustrating biblical and historical moments to meditate upon be evil? Is something truly evil just because it is from a different culture? It is difficult to see certain things as purely evil, when innocent or pure good intent is at the root of it. Perhaps, INTENT is the key factor not the gift. If we sat in a void of space, with nothing tangible or any stimulant spiritual or physical, we would find that there are still good and bad people with good and bad intentions.
Let Us Not Hate and Promote HatredTo me, it seems what is truly evil is hatred, persecution, taking judgement into our own hands, murder, and fear. These things cause harm to ourselves and others. The tools, the different cultures, have absolutely nothing to do with it. Let us choose forgiveness, kindness, compassion, love, tolerance, and leave the judgements up to something greater than us with the full context. Perhaps, we all need to update our thinking, check our intentions, and please avoid repeating history!
Be Kind & Brightest Blessings. Let there be Peace & Love for All.
