GOOD AND EVIL

What makes us evil? Is it our words, thoughts and actions combined? Does thinking of the worst things possible make you evil? Our minds are warped and I don't believe there's anyone that doesn't have evil thoughts, but do those thoughts make us evil?

I know evil could be pushing someone down the stairs and then acting ignorant rushing to that person's side to say sorry and pat their back, even though they now have a scar from scraping their nose on the stairwell. But then what makes you good? Seeing that nose for the rest of your life and feeling remorseful and full of regret, does that make you a good person?

The concept of good and evil is a phenomenon and in my opinion, I would say we can't judge or categorize because as I've mentioned, we all have evil thoughts. Maybe not acting on those thoughts make us good but the moment we do act on it, no doubt, we have stepped into the evil side.

SELF LOVE

Self-love is the foundation of all forms of love. Love thy neighbour as thyself, only when we love ourselves can we extend it to those around us. We can't truly show love to others when we can't even show it to ourselves.

Whitney Houston sang:

I decided long ago

Never to walk in anyone's shadows

If I fail, if I succeed

At least I'll live as I believe

No matter what they take from me

They can't take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all

Is happening to me

I found the greatest love of all

Inside of me

The greatest love of all

Is easy to achieve

Learning to love yourself

It is the greatest love of all

Does self-love equate to selfishness?

Self-love means putting yourself first, caring about yourself before others and then when you've given yourself all that care, attention, and great love, you can extend it to others.

Being selfish means you only care about yourself and not others, you aren't extending your great love to others but only keeping it for yourself.

Don't let anyone guilt trip you for putting yourself first, saying you're selfish and proud. They're all liars trying to make you feel tiny and you have to show you're stronger than what they think or say.

Love you, be you, flaunt your best self.

EMBRACING YOUR DEMONS

What does it mean to embrace your demons? What exactly are your demons?

Our demons 👿👿 are those parts of us that are dark, we know we shouldn't let them take over but sometimes we surrender ourselves into their arms, embracing them. Submitting yourself to the dark side doesn't mean the good inside you is gone, it just means that we've decided to lock up that part of us.

Why embrace our demons?

Some people ask Why? Why did you become this person? What happened to you? What people don't understand is that when we go through shit, it's easy to just switch from good to bad in a second. Some would say How bad was your situation to make you forsake your good ways? failing to understand that not everyone is mentally strong so yes it might be something minor, but it's enough to pull us to the dark side.

Some move on to the dark side of their own free will, thinking I'm done, I can't do this anymore. I wish we could stop to ask ourselves What have I done to impact the changes in this person? We fail to realize that some of our actions can impact people either negatively or positively.

Good can become Evil and Evil can become Good. The most evil people were once the most good people. The level of good in someone equals the level of evil in them, but the level of evil in someone doesn't equate to their goodness.

It's easy to move from good to bad but good luck trying to make an evil person good.
