Modern society believes that we can beat them.
The smugness of our ego says so.
It says that we are free and can do anything we want, be anything we want to.
Oh Really!
What about the unexpected events in our life?
Do we have control over them?
What is their purpose for us?
Are they karmic or Satanic punishment from God or a lesson and a revelation about ourselves?
Some of us will change when karma comes calling for we have learned, but others will ignore it and try to outsmart the lesson itself which is a gift.
Truth is learned in the ashes of our karmic lessons.
Those ashes are remnants of our ego, humiliated and beaten by a higher conscious reality.
As the saying goes, if we can’t beat them, join them through learning.
