Not Righteous

When we examine the heart of man from a deeper level. The heart of man is not righteous. It is filled with destruction. It does not always think about good things. At the core of a man’s heart, are pain and hurt. A man’s heart always wants to hurt other people. It wants to rejoice during another man’s vulnerable moment. A man’s heart is always waiting for the right moment. And when the right environment is created. A man will not hesitate to destroy. When the conditions are right. A man will kill. When all the right ingredients are highlighted. A man is merciless. And he will harm. As if he/she does not have heart. A corrupt soul does not know justice. A deceptive heart is broken. A heart that has been robbed of its consciousness will commit evil at every chance it gets. A corrupt heart is arrogant. A misled heart is treacherous. It will defile a fruitful ground.  Inside the heart of man. There is darkness. A kind of darkness that glorifies evil.

A darkness that is shameless. A haughty kind of darkness that celebrates bad things. When a heart of man becomes darker. And it continuously harbors pain and loss. It ceases to hope. And when it eventually succeeds at bringing destruction unto the identified target. It rejoices. It mocks. It dances around the pain and destruction of another man. As if what it achieved is the most precious action. That is what the heart of man is made up of most of the time. Destruction. Corruption. Pain. Loss. And death. So be careful with your heart. Don’t let it mislead you. No one among us is wise. You don’t have the wisdom you need for each day. You don’t have the intelligence you need for every hour or minute. Human beings are vulnerable beings. Who at certain occasions are at the mercies of the devil or God. The wise one learns of this vulnerability and counsels his/her heart accordingly.

But woe unto the majority. Who think they know a lot of things. Woe unto the arrogant soul. That does not listen. Woe unto all of us for thinking that we are clever. A typical educated man is still ignorant. That one who thinketh has mastered all the laws of the world, is still not complete. You are still not complete. You have a long way to go. Until your heart becomes pure. There is work to be done. You will struggle with a lot of things. Things that are born inside your heart. You will struggle with those thoughts. You will struggle with these thoughts because they are not always good thoughts. You have heard about this before. It was said in 1971. And if you haven’t. Find Philip Zimbardo’s prison experiment. A human’s heart is toxic. And if left to its own devices. It is capable of destruction. So don’t play around.

Take Action

When you sense that your heart has been misled. Better take action. Better put thyself in charge. And question the intentions of your heart. You don’t just wake up. To the thought of harming your neighbor. The thought of destruction is not random. It is bored inside a human heart. And nurtured under specific conditions. Conditions such as, what Zimbardo’s experiment explored. A human heart can harm even when it does not have any reasons to hurt the other person. That is how toxic the heart of man is. And when the right instructions are fed to it. It will deliver its wickedness majestically. A toxic heart is proud. It is quick to justify every action. A toxic heart does not listen. It is only interested in what it has positioned itself to do. If the mind of the heart is on extortion. It will extort you. It will rob you.

And it will not care how that happens. Whether you get harmed or not. A misled heart will do anything to achieve its end goal. If its mind is on destruction. It will destroy you. That is the heart of man. It is always not good. And nothing is random about the heart of man. Every mischief begins from the heart. Don’t say it just happened. It did not just happen. It was brewed in the heart. When you were not watching. Something happened. Your environment influenced you. Things that you saw or heard played a role. It was not a random thought. It was strategically planted whether with your permission or not. All people who celebrate when bad things happen to others. Already have corrupted hearts. That celebration is not random. It comes from a stolen heart. A heart sold to the devil, which in turn does the devil’s work.

Different Emotions

If you did not know. Understand from today that your heart in most occasions, thinks about bad things. Those bad things are mostly related to destruction. Envy that causes you to injure another person is the work of the heart. The bad thoughts of the heart come in the form of different emotions. Hate. Deceit. Idleness. And love that turns into poison. All these things are works of the heart. And we all experience them at different levels. The difference being only our consciousness. Those whose conscious is alive notice these negative emotions. And do something about them. However, for those who have traveled so far. And have lost the sharpness of their consciousness. Nurture bad thoughts. A heart full of corruption is courageous. It is swift to commit crime. And it will see nothing wrong with it. If given a chance to defend that decision. It will do so with a lot of zeal. Don’t be that person.  

Don’t live careless. The heart of man gets corrupted at a very young age. So don’t boast around that you are older. Don’t claim that you know better. None among us is complete. No one among us is fully educated. Until your heart becomes pure. There is no wise man or woman among us. We are all vulnerable. And if you knew that you can be a victim any time. You would have taken precaution. And examined your heart. Question its ways. Where is corruption coming from? Where is deceit emanating from? Who is influencing your heart negatively? Why is my heart lately toxic?  Ask all these questions. Everything has a source. Your wickedness too has a source. A dark heart has a source. Find the source of your darkness. And combat that source accordingly. Guard yourself. You have a heart of man. Watch that heart.
