Good and Evil

On the surface, a lion killing a deer looks evil, but for some reason, it is necessary. In the same way, we often feel anger towards certain leaders, a nagging spouse, or troublemakers at work who seem to be doing negative things—but perhaps they, too, serve a purpose. Such tough situations in my life pushed me to find solutions, and whatever wisdom I have today is the result of those efforts. I enjoy getting to the root of things, and in a way, all those so-called troublemakers helped set me on an interesting path in life.


There is really no such thing as purely negative or evil; positive or good; these experiences create the conditions for us to think and discover the hidden treasures within ourselves. Even positive things, like the beauty of nature or love received from someone, create the conditions for us to discover the hidden treasures within ourselves. We see ourselves as victims in some situations if we don’t catch this point, and we can easily fall into the dark path of feeling victimized—leading to hatred, revenge, or even becoming prey to false leaders or misguided beliefs. This crucial choice of path is what truly makes the difference in our lives.


Both negative and positive events are really one and the same—even if, on the surface, they appear different. No duals. This understanding helps me to stay calm in the current chaotic times and focus on my expression.



Appendix:


By recognizing both positive and negative experiences are part of a larger process for our own growth, we gain the power to respond consciously rather than react blindly. Instead of getting trapped in cycles of blame or anger, we can use each moment—pleasant or unpleasant—as an opportunity to deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world.


Ultimately, the real transformation begins when we stop dividing the world into good and bad, victims and villains, and start seeing every situation as a stepping stone toward discovering our own inner strength and wisdom.
