Young Souls versus Old Souls         


Author: Andy
Date: Mar 7, 2008 03:22

Is there a single evil human being? My life experience has told me
that that is probably not the case. The moral divide between humans is
a matter of maturity. If our current life on earth is just one of many
incarnations of the soul, whether in this world or in any other, it
would follow that while all souls are equal, some are older than
others.

Consider a thief. How can he be cured of his criminality? Well, if he
reaches the conclusion that everything that he steals will be stolen
from him- in this life or the next- he will realise the futility of
crime and stop. Quite simply, when you realise that "what goes around
comes around", only then will one's behaviour start to improve.

I think it was Jesus who said "Be sure your sins will find you out"

So our thief is not actually a wicked man, but someone who is
relatively new to the game of life and hasn't learned the rules. He is
a "young soul". It is very similar to the child who pulls a puppy's
tail. Only when he gets bitten, does he stop.

Al Gore gets my vote for the most evil human being.The Clinton(s) run
a close second.Ted Kennedy is fighting for a tight third place.

Gore and Hillary Clinton were just accomplices. Bill Clinton's head count
doesn't even come close to what W has achieved. With only 1 victim Ted
Kennedy is tied with Laura Bush, mere innocents in a country where
playground disputes are dealt with by opening fire on all and sundry.

either way it needs to be in "special measures" the state some of the "young
souls" are turning out these days.
