We all want to believe in a benevolent power that will save all from harm.
In truth, according to what I have been told, we are on earth to experience free will. In the bible, it also says that Satan and all his fallen angels were thrown upon the earth and are wreaking havoc upon this plane causing many of the things that are happening.
What if ‘Satan’ could be described as selfishness? Ultimate “its all about me and I don’t care about anyone else?”
What if upbringing had a factor in this, influence by friends or disconnect because a loving and guiding family is not in the life?
Power/money/status is a factor too, thinking that this is what will bring happiness and satisfaction.
Within each of us, we all have the basic ability to feed ourselves what will make us feel good. For some, it is taking great advantage of others. For others, it is serving others.
