User:RTG/The work of the devil



Here is how to do the work of the devil.

There have been many ideas about how the devils work gets done, and the most inventive and insightful rings out silently.

The work of the devil is cunning and manipulative and it changes you.

Oftentimes in this world we have to share company with a person we are suspicious of or object to.

When it comes to dispute in such a situation, the human has the capacity to surprise itself with cunning, ability, and even strength. Such surprise can leave the strongly cunning and able feeling, with no ill remark, quite devilish in their satisfaction. However, this is not always the case.

At times in this world we are suspicious or object, though not enough confrontation arises, to provide satisfaction directly. Such objection is usually concerned with attitude, ideology, or some other root which proves, the person has made a conscious decision, to adopt a persona which is wrong in so many ways. A person like this is wrong on purpose, gripped by a failed or misinterpreted teaching, but for one reason or another you cannot be direct in your objections. It must be obvious, such a person is a devil of sorts, and best defeated with trickery, cunning, or unwelcome surprises...

Picture yourself now, as you stand one hand on hip, the other clutching the fiddle and bow, with a foot on the fallen devil beneath you. Your devious grin is reminiscent of something...

Hell is empty and all the devils are here. Try not to play games of satisfaction with the humans whose souls they seem to have captured. Playing cruel tricks on those we dislike seems to elevate us in the moment, but in the future, the object of the trickery will be more likely to develop negatively than positively. If they do, the object of your discontent is likely to worsen before it affects others. You can't save anyone by teasing a bear trapped in a cage.

This does not mean you should let go of your suspicions and objections, or even that you should not act upon them. But when you feel as though you have found a devil, and set upon playing a game with it, you are not always providing an alternative, but sometimes are simply providing the opposing balance. It's a difficult concept but a solid one. Be cunning by simply manipulating your self, and being more correct, or just accept there is more to this world than everything which fits, or sometimes... the devils work may be done by you... He wouldn't have it any other way now, would he...?
