Evil games

Yesterday in a dream I saw that on the platform of the purgatory train they ask who wants to rent a bedroom in the executive class car, where God, the devil, and their shrouds play your future at cards

-Phrase from a Ricardo Arjona song-

Longings for power, dominance, control, possession govern much of the world. Egotists, unscrupulous, indolent, greedy, ruthless—they hold the reins. We don't really know who is worse than the other; it happens quite often, and I am convinced it’s true.

And what if God isn’t so good and the Devil isn’t so evil? Maybe they are just adversaries who enjoy playing chess or rolling dice, then shake hands afterward.

Since the dawn of time, wars have existed—one group’s domination over another, struggles, revenge, resentments that lead to retaliation, lies used to better control the majority. Few who find themselves in truly catastrophic situations stop to think if what they do really makes sense; they only act hypnotized by fanaticisms, ideals, often inherited hatreds that they refuse to break, indoctrinations they refuse to question, and so on. Of course, it also happens that those wielding power know very well how to manipulate the minds of those who live their lives without questioning anything and of those immersed in daily survival within a society whose rules were invented.

When a person meddles in war matters or corruption, they fall into a web from which it’s difficult to escape, and most of the time, they risk not only themselves but also their loved ones, due to threats or revenge.

A friend once told me that "people were better before." I replied that human beings in general have never been entirely integrity, only that now there are more of us. In other words, now there are more evil people than the number of evil people there were before, (on top of that us have the advancement of technology, an important point to keep in mind).

But just as the number of evil people has increased, surely the number of those who want to live in peace, true peace, has also increased. Start with yourself, if you are one of them.

✌️

Although, without justice there is no peace 👀

I always mention a phrase that I love and that belongs to Facundo Cabral, I recommend it to you, and it goes like this: The good is the majority, only it is silent. Evil makes more noise, that's why it seems to be in the majority. But it is true that there are more people than before and also the subjugation is greater, there are more tools to make people believe a reality that is not so, especially a reality based on fear.

People who dominate each other have always existed, like wars, the important thing is to be aware of what is true and what is not, but the truth with capital letters, the one that is at the bottom of everything. I loved your reflection, we agree a lot. Thank you very much and hug!🤗

I couldn't agree more. This world is like a rabbit hole and the more you see, the more shocked you are. Some of us are only trying to survive and we couldn't care less. However survival still depends on the cards that those at the sit of power choose to play.

In this world, some play God and others play devil. But what if both adversaries are tired in reality and they have left us in autopilot?
