Our Greatest Gift

Being wicked from birth is not only our given existential and biological reality, it is the greatest blessing that God could have bestowed upon us.

Here is why. Without a predilection to do sinful things, whether from the vantage point of being predominantly robot and somewhat a willful sinner, we would not have skin in the game of life. The most alive is she that exercises free will to choose between good and evil, and from her natural bent, from her experience in the world, and through her moral training, in a mode of understanding and clear consciousness,  she knows clearly the difference between right and wrong. To know what is true provides one with a sober, mature type of happiness that is the antechamber to entering of palace of inner peace, and that state of mind is most desirable. It is heavenly.

Being born deprived is a magnanimous gift from God should we be taught how to respond to this core human condition. Should we elect to dedicate our lives to God, to love God, the self and all others, then our existent state of spiritual and moral goodness will have been gained by conquering our bad natures, and redirecting its animalistic urges to higher goals and behaviors.

To maverize a corrupt heart by self-realizing is to live the middle way, the ethical and truth-embracing way to live. The eternal clash between what is good and what is evil is worked out on a personal level by us as we self-perfect a most imperfect basic self. Balancing and disciplining the friction between doing what is positive versus yielding to temptation to do the negative makes us create a personal equilibrium, and the is the middle way brought about in one's soul. When we have evolved into a moderate individuator and innovator, then we are living the middle way, and the is optimum condition for maximizing creative output.
