Theories about socially deviant behavior range from biological roots to economic sources. This month I'm not interested in the excuses that society requires to make sense of abuse, power, and control. Perhaps I will return to philosophical discussion on it after the month of domestic violence awareness concludes. Then we can talk about the possibilities that man's impotence, both figurative and literal, which play a part in the social disease that plagues mankind.
Today I want to make one thing vividly clear. Regardless of what you do or do not believe, there is a spirit of evil behind it that drives people to exert force over other people for personal gain. Allowing the spirit to control their actions gives them power to use others to get whatever it is that they want. Embedded in selfishness, they cannot survive without certain comforts and essential desires; this is where their weakness lies.
However, victims are not doomed to a life of submission; quite the contrary, they are supported by an equal, yet opposing force called faith. Faith kicks in during our times of weakness, until we are able to access the strength naturally endowed within us at birth. The power is there; you just have to endure your pain and suffering for a short time. Only afterwards can you reach out and grasp it.
