Nobody is all good or all bad

by CR (005)

Everybody knows that people differ from one region to another. Such differences are still more marked from country to country because habits, customs, tendencies, inclinations, tastes and temperaments differ widely.

In each of these human conglomerates the spirit finds certain conditions to develop capabilities which it feels are underdeveloped as compared with other capabilities.

Events that appear to be hard to understand because they occur in places where conditions are not the same, have a natural explanation because they follow a general plan of evolution and are in accordance with the laws of relativity. (Not to be confused with Einstein Theory of Relativity)

Nobody is all good or all bad. Both good and bad are part of man's moral personality. His struggle aims at reducing the imperfections and increasing the qualities, from the time of his awakening to the evolutionary aspects of life.

Just as the total of individuals represents a people group, their moral standing represents the partial sum of the qualities and imperfections of the same social group. This is why everyone contributes in a smaller or larger scale to the variation of the moral level of the people among which he or she decided to incarnate.

The evolution of the spirit is the result of its effort, will and ambition to grow. However, evolution is frequently delayed on account of the intolerance and self-indulgence of the incarnated spirit, especially when he is not much assailed by life difficulties. 

But, when tribulations come - and they do come, in order to stir, to awaken - then the indolent feels perplexed, stunned by the uncertainty which he feels, in the void developed by himself in his own life.
