True. By being a negative example of those three virtues, you show us clearly what NOT to be.
you think I'm negative? well I'm sitting inside a monastery right now, and the monk I've chosen to talk to, who is the younger brother of a man I went to high school with, has told me that he's seriously relieved that someone has come in who knows what the truth about human beings really is. and not all of it is positive, so if you guys are desiring to be inspired every minute of your life and can't handle at least A LITTLE bit of the nastiness and hatefulness that the world runs on, you're not gonna get very far. You'll have a heart attack at the very least. As they say: ""if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen"".
so, put in a blunt sense of the idiocy this world runs on: ""if you can't stand the evil and crazy humans that corporate manipulators and salespeople produce, and you don't want them to burn your house down someday, be real with them and don't run around in public with a fake smile on your face like corporate people do"". THAT is why so many successful business people and government officials own guns and fortify their homes. Because unintelligent people don't know how to use their inspiration to do well for themselves. they have no talent to do so. and I've said this before......there are so many unintelligent people in this world, if you keep showing that fake smile on your face and the corporations continue to do what they're best at, there's no police force in the world that can stop 5 million people from charging your home and setting it on fire because they're not smart enough to do for themselves in a capitalistic society. Christ was killed for this reason, but only because there was no police protection for people walking with confidence and truth 2,000 years ago. In this day in age, no one would touch me, for many reasons. One is because I'm not a rich man. Another is because I don't walk around with a fake smile on my face because I'm scared of the evil that corporate greed produces. Lastly, I'm not lazy. I'm certainly in the minority of the people who live on Earth that live the right way, and unfortunately that requires me to encounter those evil and confused people that corporations manipulate, and do the work / put in the large amount of hours to teach them that they have become mentally crazy and that there's no need for it. So essentially what I am is a counter-balance to false inspirers. And when people who ARE crazy encounter me on the street, armed or not, they wouldn't dare do anything to me because, even though they are crazy, there's something special about someone who walks around with the confidence and truth of Christ in their heart. Evil people nowadays just stay away from that type of person because they know who that person is and what they represent, but they also know who they themselves are. And they know in their heart that they are living in serious error. And most of the time, for some reason, they are unable to correct their mistakes and turn their lives around.
