You wonder why the world is cruel. It means that evil has already found you and showed how inhuman people can be. What is the reason?!
And the point is in the very nature of an ordinary, unenlightened person. From nature, man was given his animal essence with its instincts and habits, and from cosmic forces - a rational essence with its mind, emotions and consciousness.
And it is precisely the unity of the animal and the intellectual that constitutes such a phenomenon as man.
The world is cruel only because often a person carries in himself and gives into our world only the worst of the blessings bestowed upon him, moreover, in the most perverted form. The tendency to enjoy, which accompanies a person throughout his life path, can lead not only to enjoyment from reading a book, pleasant communication, a fun walk, but also to enjoyment from alcohol abuse, drugs, insulting others, cruelty to people and animals and the destruction of the world around. .
History keeps many examples of the inhumanity of the world of people in its dark and bloody annals, by the way, numerous facts of fascist atrocities are cited. Fascist atrocities, fascist beasts - this is how one of the participants in the terrible meat grinder of the 20th century is considered. Is it just atrocities like interrogations, denunciations, executions, gulags, etc.? No, these are not atrocities, this is the very manifestation of the essence of a “reasonable” person with his perverted consciousness, no matter how fiercely you deny it.
What to do when evil has found you? - Fight. Don't let the pleasure of hurting you and others be cut down. "Reset brains", nip in the bud. Do not let evil sit in you with unthinkable pain and expiration of cruelty on other, innocent people in your Terrible Pain ... Only in this way and in no other way will you be able to contribute to the development of Bright Humanity and its exit from the dark and gloomy nooks and crannies of the ages. The experiment of higher powers to create Homo sapiens on our planet turned out to be, alas, unsuccessful, but you, only you, if you have not yet been subject to the destruction of consciousness by evil, YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD and make Your Invaluable Contribution to the Development of Homo sapiens on planet Earth.
If not you, then who?!

Recently we stumbled across the Internet on the article "Predatory Power" by Boris Didenko Recommended for reading and understanding, although the author himself likes to go to extremes, we warn you :)
In the article, the author describes in some detail how predators in human form come to power in human society and why "spineless people" cannot resist them and demolish everything that is imposed on them.
In turn, let us recall a rather interesting experiment conducted on American students, who were ordered by the Administration during the game "to memorize words" to beat students with electric current and raise the amount of (thank God, non-existent) current with devices for the erroneous answers of students-and-actors -in-the-same-face. So, only a few of the participants refused to inflict Pain on the tested Person and left the race. Most of them Pressed the Buttons despite the Shouts for Mercy of People (the actors tried to show all the charm of the impact on them with a current) until the end of the experiment. When conscientious participants were asked why they pressed the buttons, although they saw the torment of a person, the answer was Horrifyingly Simple: "Because you said so." - Complete renunciation of their actions and handing Responsibility for the experiment in the Paws of the "Predator".
And why did people press the buttons?))) - Someone took advantage of a good moment to satisfy their sadistic inclinations; someone was forced by Fear of the teacher, so as not to bring trouble on Himself; and someone wished to complete this task in order to get a solid test!;))) And all this rests on selfishness, the ROOT OF ALL EVIL ON EARTH.
A car parked across the sidewalk - where it was more convenient to park; piles of garbage in the walking park - where it was more convenient to get rid of it; an ambulance stuck in traffic - "I'm going where all you goats are going"!; suicide - "I'm so sorry for myself, NO ONE LOVES ME, I'd rather leave"; a downed child - "I'M GOING, CATCHING A DRIVE!"; a man lying on the snow - "I'll get involved - only I still didn't have enough extra problems"; fight - "I'm RIGHT, and you are RED!"; disputes-monologues, in which the truth is not important - "-I'm RIGHT! -NO, I'm RIGHT! SO WHO IS WHAT?!"; strangled rival - "I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, I AM SO GOOD WITH HIM, DIE, BEAST!"; malicious comments on the Internet - "I'm RIGHT, and you are a schmuck!"; calls for violence - "BEAT THE DISSENTERS! BEAT NOT LIKE US!", a video of a burning house on the Internet, and the "crap videographer" did not call the firefighters (!!!) - "HE Caught A STAR FRAME!!!" (here is a goat !!! - a comment from the author), etc. etc.
- ALL THIS AND MUCH OTHER MANIFESTATION OF HUMAN EGOISM - UNIVERSAL EVIL.
EGOISM is the behavior of a human individual who puts his interests above others, even if he causes EVIL to others by his behavior, this is not important for her. Where does EGOISM come from? Scientists believe that it is contained in the genes, plus we add active propaganda of a selfish lifestyle, and it is everywhere. MOST PEOPLE ARE SUPER-SEGOISTIC, CANNOT LISTEN TO OTHERS, DO NOT SEE OTHERS, but only THEMSELVES and a certain circle around THEMSELVES. THEREFORE ALL DIFFERENCES AND MISSIONS OF EACH OTHER.
When Our Loved ones, the Best, leave our Gray, Nondescript (at first glance!!!) Life, we often repeat in tears - "HOW THE WORLD IS CRUEL!!!". Yes, simply because Good, Bright People in this Life, indeed, are VERY VERY VERY VERY SMALL in the midst of an evil crowd of egoists !!! DO NOT THINK of torturing Yourself, if such, Alas, happened, DO NOT GO CRAZY, DO NOT CURSE This World!!! After all, You are not the same vicious little egoist, exuding waves of malice, anger and resentment, not wanting to let go of the departed Light Person with those pleasant feelings that He ALWAYS GIVEN You??? Let Him go, Remember Him ONLY GOOD!!! Take a Particle of Light from HIM in Your Heart!!! Away with anger, Away with resentment, TAKE A LIGHT TORCH AND JUST SWEET!!! Shine with KIND, CARE, UNDERSTANDING FOR PEOPLE, GOOD FEELINGS, GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST THAT YOU HAVE AND THE WORLD WILL BECOME BETTER, CLEANER AND LIGHTER!!! Know It, BELIEVE IT!!! DON'T BE LIKE EGOISTOOOM, DO YOU HEAR?!!!...
Modern Man would turn on MIND, Become ABOVE his bestial level, genes, instincts, his egoism... But no - Cruelty, Indifference and stingy Egoism have been rampant on Earth for thousands of years!!! THE EGOIST CANNOT BE HAPPY, BECAUSE EVENTS IN THE WORLD WILL NEVER HAPPEN AS NEEDED ONLY TO HIM. The EGOIST cannot understand that in this World there is not only HE, but also OTHER PEOPLE, THEIR DESIRES, INTERESTS. The EGOIST destroys the Lives of OTHERS, he himself receives the most severe lessons and SUFFERING from Life, and the new generation receives them again and again. Vicious circle...
SO BE SMART!!! Turn on Your Mind, Reader, and May It Protect You and Others!!!

I heard in my environment about the cruelty of the world. I thought about whether the world is really cruel or is it just me who lives in “rose-colored glasses” and does not see cruelty? And what are the "pink glasses" that we wear? I share my thoughts and my feelings on this topic.

Dual view of the world

Cruelty, like mercy, appeared as a dual idea of ​​the world. People believed that there is love in some things and not in others. But is there in our world something in which there would be no love (God)? No.

When people decided that love is “like this”, and in another way it is no longer love, they became unhappy, put on “rose-colored glasses”, believed that there is a world without love. People began to seek and hold on to love and struggle with what is not love. Like blind kittens, they poke at their mother cat, and when there is warmth and food, this is love, and when we are carried by the scruff of the neck, our “mother” (soul) is no longer love.

How does your world respond to thoughts of cruelty? Share in the comments whether the topic of the article was valuable and what else to write about? Ask questions, get answers.

After a long time from the moment when I saw an application that was interesting to me, I nevertheless decided to write a story about a little cat.
The world we live in is huge. The number of inhabitants near the line is several billion. Every day people are born and die. Every day, a large number of people pass through the streets of a big city. Every day, because of the cruel human heart, there are many innocent animals on the street.
And the same evil fate awaited a small defenseless fluffy ball. Curling into a ball and burying his nose in his mother's tummy, he felt safe. Mom's rough tongue slid down the back of his head. He knew that his mother would protect him. A few days passed, the little ball grew up. A week later he became a very agile kitten. But they didn't know what lay ahead of them.
There was a replenishment in the family, his beloved wife gave birth to a son, Alex. Everything was quiet and calm until the child learned to crawl. One day there was a loud cry of a baby. Alex's parents came running at the same second and caught the picture of how the curious son decided to do a great thing (where would it be without it) - to take the kitten by the kitten's tail.
Seeing a scratch from the claws near the eyes, they were furious. The kitten's mother tried to protect him, rushed at them and beat them with her paws, hissed and growled, but it was all in vain. The parents took the kitten by the collar and threw it out into the cold and wet street. That evening it was raining heavily, there was nowhere to hide. The frightened little kitten did not know where to go. Calling with all her might for her mother, she did not appear. The voice was hoarse, the loud meow turned into a quiet whisper. Only the rumbling of a hungry tummy was interrupted by the loud sound of rain. And the wind tried to blow harder and harder. The baby was completely wet and cold. Wandering the streets with wide eyes that read: fear, loneliness, hunger. The little paws no longer wanted to go, they began to give way, and the people did just that, kicked him with their feet. Shouting after him: "Get out of here, don't get in the way." Strong blows came to the tummy, and he began to hurt more and more. All the baby thought about was unbearable pain in the abdomen.
“Why did I end up here?”, “Why was I treated so unfairly?”, “Why they threw me out, it’s not my fault, he started it first ...”
The cold penetrated to the bones. The impeccable fur coat gradually acquired not the best look. Having found some quiet corner, he received strong blows on the muzzle with the paws of other homeless animals, driving him out of there. The strength was leaving him. Breathing became more and more difficult. Barely moving his paws, he did not give up. He wanted to find a place where he would be loved, he wanted to return home. The little heart was bursting with pain. From an unfair fate. From the fact that he is so small, and fate played such a cruel joke with him.
It was already dawn, completely exhausted by hunger and cold, he decided to lie down. The night exhausted him, the rain also continued to pour from the bucket, and the wind did not subside.
Faith in hope left the baby and he did not know what to do at all. Breathing became more and more difficult, each breath was excruciating and piercing with severe pain. Her fragile body was buzzing with fatigue, the hellish pain did not subside, but only grew. Unable to bear it, the baby was preparing to close his eyes and never open them again. They were slowly closing. The eyelids were getting heavy ... now the last breath, the chest moved imperceptibly. Deciding to look at this cruel, but interesting and boundless world for the last time and say goodbye to it ... when I suddenly felt warm. The rain stopped beating in heavy drops and the wind did not penetrate to the bones.
It was a girl with eyes like crystal clear sky. She squatted down and stared at him intently.
“So what this time? Why are you torturing me, let's hurt like others, don't be afraid, I'm strong. I can endure like before. Hurry! While I'm still alive!" His thoughts didn't stop.

Sh. Atia: If the reality of this world is, in general, a pre-made scenario in which nothing can be changed, why is this scenario so cruel? Why does it consist of an endless series of wars, natural disasters, accidents, suicide bombers, blown up buses, diseases, drugs? What is the point of striking at people if it is known in advance that their spiritual awakening will occur beyond their power? Why should the period of waiting for a person - from the moment of his birth to the revelation of the spiritual - be so painful?

M. Laitman: We see that everything that happens in our world: from a tiny ant, earning its livelihood with hard work, to plants, elephants, an individual person and masses of people - absolutely everything reincarnates, improves, accumulates suffering and a huge experience in the development of one’s ego, which in everyone causes the desire to fulfill oneself at the expense of others. Everyone is in a struggle with others for his life: the creations of the vegetative level feed on the inanimate, the animal eats the plant or animal, the person eats everyone and even himself.

All this was created by the Universal Law, which is called the desire of the Creator to delight the creatures and lead them to a great, exalted level, called merging with the Creator. At the same time, the entire reality, starting from a remote point opposite from the Creator, must gradually reincarnate - step by step, until it reaches similarity to the Creator's properties.

Why should this process be carried out with the help of a cruel force that does not take into account anything, does not ask anyone, which is not impressed by anyone's suffering? - Such is nature.

Why are the elements of this nature, this force (sentient or insensible) - the elements of the vegetative level, the animal, the speaking, and perhaps even the inanimate - under the cruel rink of development, feeling suffering and adversity along the way? Why do they have to experience such unbearable sensations. Why should they regret literally every moment of their lives, being in this development, controlled by the Higher power? Why can't the Higher Power develop them in a useful, pleasant, joyful form, in a sense of the fullness of life?

The higher power cannot do this, because it is obliged to give the creatures freedom of choice in their development. Therefore, She hides herself and reveals only the stages of the development she launches, but not Herself.

And the stages of development, switched on by the Higher power, pass through the "live meat", bringing pain. The desire contained in a person, gradually developing from generation to generation, reaches such a state when it finally exclaims: “Enough! I can no longer, I must find the source of my bad feeling. I am not able to continue to live like this, and even death will not help me. This is what a person feels in his subconscious. "I must find the one who harms me." This, in essence, is the first appeal of a person to the Creator: not by the force of good, not by good will, not from a pleasant sensation.

But the Creator is hidden. And a person who continues his further development somehow ends up (also without choosing it of his own free will) in a certain place: in a group, to a teacher who explains to him the purpose of his development. And if a person wants to speed it up, he is obliged to study and understand several special books, which are called Kabbalistic.

How will this help him? Thanks to studying from these books, a person arouses upon himself a huge power from above - that General power that carries out his development. He calls upon himself not the “roller of development” that crushed him earlier, but the “roller” a million times stronger. And a person develops faster.

How can he handle it if he couldn't before? Maybe. After all, now a person understands why he suffers, understands that these sufferings are justified and have a purpose. He is included in some rational process that gives him the strength to endure suffering. And when enough pain, suffering, efforts, knowledge accumulate in a person - everything that he can collect and unite within himself - then the Higher Power, which was hidden from him and which developed him in a hidden form, from afar - is revealed to him.

It shows a person that there is an opportunity to approach the Developing force. And then, if a person sees this force of development, then he can already bring himself into conformity with it. And to the extent that he is able to bring himself into line with this force of development - to understand, to feel it, to coordinate his actions and steps with it - to that extent he feels great pleasure from this. And if before he felt that he was doing everything contrary to the Developing Force, now, as far as he can, he acts in accordance with it.

This power that develops man is called the Creator, or the Plan of Creation, which consists in "enjoying the creations." This is what we know about the Creator, and apart from this we know nothing about Him.

How can a person achieve conformity to this power? To the extent that he, being in his nature, which is more and more revealed as the opposite of the Developing force, can become like this force, to the extent that he becomes more and more similar to the Creator. He merges with Him to such an extent that all his forces, desires, thoughts, various properties - everything that is in him, will fully correspond to the Developing force.

This is called that he has reached his Final Correction. If, bringing himself into conformity with this Developing force, a person experienced pleasant sensations, then having completely completed his assimilation to It. He feels himself in a state of immersion in the boundless Good - and in feelings, and in comprehension, and in the feeling of eternal and perfect life - without any flaw.

The properties of a person are not determined by him, this can be seen from the very beginning. His final state is also not determined by him, and all the desires that open in him over and over again are also not established by him. His whole path is not determined by him. A person can decide only in his voluntary consent to go along with this Developing force, desiring it to such an extent that he even tries to get ahead of It.

This is called that a person wants to comprehend the thoughts and plans of the Creator regarding himself and fulfill them on his own. It turns out that in this whole process we can only participate according to our voluntary desire. After all, one way or another, you will eventually come to this desire and to these actions. Only if you participate in it, if you want it, if you move in this direction, then you comprehend this step, understand the Higher Power, cognize It, and stay with It.

Sh. Atia: Can it be said that we are like a seed, which must be in its lowest, impure state, immersed in the earth, deprived of sunlight, until it rots almost completely, but eventually grows into a tree?

M. Laitman: We are in the seed state, the most polluted state, that is clear. But in the end, each of us must become a diamond. The question here is only in development: either I understand, prepare myself and move forward on my own, or I just wait until they force me from above. And when they force me from above, it feels like unbearable suffering. If I myself move in this direction, realizing that this is exactly what it is worth doing, desiring this progress, then the whole process becomes desirable, kind, full of pleasure.

Sh. Atia: Let's take, for example, two people: one who studies Kabbalah and one who does not study it. Both enter a bus in Jerusalem, which then explodes. What does each of them think? First: is it destined, it was meant to be, and I accept it with love? Second: why did this happen to me? All their difference from each other - in the perception of what happened? A student of Kabbalah will not avoid a bus explosion due to his studies? Will he endure suffering like everyone else, getting injured lightly or severely, or even dying? Does he have to go through all this, regardless of the level of his spiritual consciousness?

M. Laitman: Usually, a student of Kabbalah does not need such difficult trials. Since all these trials are given only in order to awaken a person to think about the meaning of his life, about its purpose, about the suffering that he goes through, in order to lead him to a free choice in moving towards the Goal, towards which the Higher Power forces the whole creation to move.

But if a person connects to this Force and realizes his own choice, striving to achieve everything himself, even if only partially, it means that he is already in this process to some extent and agrees with his development under the control of the Highest. So why would the Supreme send him additional suffering?

Of course, he is not yet in perfection, until he has reached the Final Correction, has not yet come to that state when the whole world, as a result of his work, reaches the Final Correction. It is true that there is still no peace and perfection in the world - this is also his share of guilt. But he no longer needs such reminders, and that such a compelling and cruel force acts on him.

M. Laitman: No, it's not an insurance policy, definitely not. Kabbalah is a method by which both man and humanity achieve perfect, eternal life. But there is no insurance until the end of the path is reached, because the forces that move people towards an absolutely good state are the forces of evil. This is how they feel to us.

Sh. Atia: Does this mean that Kabbalah does not provide us with physical protection from interference?

M. Laitman: Kabbalah does not provide a person with physical protection from misfortunes, evil forces and great suffering. But, nevertheless, to the extent that a person agrees to go along with the developing Force and even wishes to forestall it, he certainly prevents its influence on himself in the manifestation of evil.

Sh. Atia: Is it possible to divide the essence of a person into two parts: the first part is physical, over which we have no power - this is obvious, and the spiritual part, which must be developed on our own initiative and on our own in the process of awareness. But there is another part in which, thanks to spiritual awareness, a person can speed up the pace of his life: instead of going through suffering for a hundred years, go through it in a year?

M. Laitman: Of course, you can go through them in a year and not suffer!

Sh. Atia: How does it work in practice? Does reality change?

M. Laitman: Our reality should not change, because in our life it belongs to the inanimate level. But our internal development becomes impetuous, and then there is no need to stretch it out over hundreds of years.

Sh. Atia: You say that Kabbalah is accessible to man today. He just has to approach and take, and not wait for the 500 years it took to open it, to start using it. Like how a person with a headache does not need to learn medicine, but simply take medicine, reducing time?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Sh. Atia: If we assume such a scale of life, in which spiritual development is at the highest place, and animal desires are at the lowest, and a person, at one of his life stages, feels that he wants to study Kabbalah, this puts him closer or further from the goal. ..

M. Laitman: This puts him only in the zero position, and then he starts the journey.

Sh. Atia: That is, a person's spiritual life begins from the moment when he wishes to reveal the Higher power. And before that, he is no different from the rest of the living, upright creatures around him.

M. Laitman: It doesn't differ at all.

Sh. Atia: Summing up, can we say that the cruel environment in which we find ourselves, on the part of the Creator, is ready ground for maturation?

M. Laitman: He created a bad environment in order to use the forces that surround each of us to push us to development.

Sh. Atia: For good to grow out of evil?

M. Laitman: Yes. And if instead of a bad environment I find a good one, then thanks to it I develop faster .. That's all.

And that is why it is written in the article “Freedom of Choice” that a person has no other means than to choose a good environment.
