A Wrong One

This dialectical expression often appears in Agatha Christie novels; it is an appellation characterizing a man with a criminal personality or one engaged in outlaw behaviors. It would seem that a wrong one, is a man of bad will. He seeks to enrich himself or gratify his outrageous desires even if it means going against society's wishes or law. It would seem to me that the non-individuated person is more robot than free agent. Correspondingly, his will is determined by other antecedents than his free choice. If he is a wrong one, than he has been programmed to be a lawbreaker. As the individual individuates, his will becomes freer and freer in proportion to his development as a self-actualizer, with the accompanying increase of consciousness and personal awareness. Were such a person to be a wrong one, he would have chosen the life of an outlaw; he would be a Professor Moriarity or perhaps a Mafia don. A right one would be a person of good will, be his will and state chosen or determined for him. As he indviduates, he will choose to have a good will, and correspondingly, he will think, talk, act and live as a right one, one of good will. Indeed, most of the time to individuate is to choose to to be a right one, for the act of individuating is typically a process sponsored, guided and mentored by God. Still there are wrong ones that are individuated. Lera's hand in this is here also.
