Not allowing evil to triumph

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Edmund Burke

I saw this quote tonight and say that I have heard this a great many times. Yet how many people know what this quote is really about and how it effects their lives. I go through people telling me all of the time. Why do you try to help others they do not care? You are worth ten of that person and yet you made yourself sick and wore yourself out helping them.

I always say that by doing what I do and asking the divine to help me I add some light to this world. I may not get the results I want to have. I would prefer to be able to wave that magic wand every one is looking for and have their lives become perfect.Yet I am just a person and the only reason I have any results is because I love God and he works through me in my attempts to help others.

I have had many cures and many people writing me and saying how much I helped their lives. I stick with them through the worse times in their lives. Yet I am human and imperfect like everyone else on this world. No matter what they are or what they claim to be everyone is human and imperfect. The only one that is perfect is the divine. We are not able to comprehend any of those energies completely because our mind can not wrap around it.

I like the thoughts I have read that we are dreams in the mind of the divine. It is the reason we get free will and are able to shape our inner and outer worlds. Yet if we did not have evil we would not understand what good was all about in our lives.

So I do my best to add in my effort to make it so evil can not triumph over good. I try to do my best to add a bit of good to the world if it is only being nice to someone. I hope everyone who reads this quote thinks about ways to add good to their corner of the world.

Compromise and Surrender

All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take.Mahatma Gandhi

I saw this quote on Facebook and found a copy of it where I could use it for my blog. I have found this to be very true in life. Look at the way the government compromises and it works out where it does not move anything forward. The reason why is they ignore the fundamental truth of what is needed.

Fundamentals are keeping people healthy, taking care of them, and making it so the government, and life gives them the basic things they need in their life. Prayer can be a powerful tool but many religions also ignore the fundamentals when they try to control the people who worship in their churches. Every religion has something to keep the people healthy, and rules to make it where people socialize and work together.

The world has compromised so many things that it used to stand for and it takes thought to wonder if we should have made the changes. Yet many changes have been good. It is all about balance which includes give and take. A form of balance is in everything that we do.

Good and evil are a balance and when the world goes more one way than the other the world is a different places until they are balanced. A person's life and success depends upon balance. There are ups and downs in every persons life because you can not be one thing all of the time. Positive change can be good and the bad changes are a chance to work upon yourself and any issues that you may have.

I have always had things I would and would not do. Everyone should realize that there are things they should not compromise on no matter what happens to them. It is a surrender to becoming something that you do not like.
