The Bigger Evil

Evil is an insatiable desire to win by any means necessary even at the cost of disobeying God.  When the Serpent proposed to Eve and Adam that they could be like God, imagine the intensity of their desires to be like God.  Adam and Eve were not perfect. They were creatures of dust and so are we and therefore on Ash Wednesdays, the Catholic priest would say something like: "you are dust and to dust you will return" when he makes a cross with ash on the forehead.  Indeed people do return to dust after death. [1], [2]

Here we are, millenia later, we too can be afflicted with an insatiable desire to win, not necessarily by any means necessary but necessarily by disobeying God by not believing in God enough, by not being humble enough, by not turning the other cheek enough and by not loving (thy enemies) enough.  Having the affliction means we want to win because we have our ego to satisfy, because we believe we are righteous and the non-righteous must lose otherwise all hell would break loose, because we are addicted to winning since winning makes us feel that we are powerful and in control and we must be powerful and in control since we are right and righteous.

To win not by love but by unjust laws, by might, by deceit or by treachery is to play into the hands of Satan.  There will always be the bigger evil somewhere on this planet.  The bigger evil could be the loser in the first round and come back the winner the second time around.  The cycle never ends because vengeance and the desire to win are insatiable.  The insatiability on earth is just like that in Hell where there is a constant void and every desire that is seemingly fulfilled is devoid of fulfillment.

If the desire to win is fulfilled, then the manner in which it was fulfilled must have been perfect for no bigger evil could unseat you in your throne to bring back the desire to get back on it and the only way that can happen is through unconditional love.  Since that is not going to happen any time soon, there will always be a bigger evil to claim the win and the throne, perhaps an old rival or a new kid on the block.

While jostling for superiority, people focus so much on the bigger evil, to prevent it from bringing defeat or to defeat it that they lose sight of the obvious, Satan, the biggest evil.  Those who are continuously devising strategies and mobilizing to win against the bigger evil on earth, Satan in Hell is claiming a bigger and bigger part of those souls that are in the cycle of insatiability.  Satan was the creator of and a current participant in this insatiable vortex of void.  Lucifer, presently known as Satan, created the vortex of void when it left Heaven.  In Hell, Satan has the insatiable desire to beat God in collecting souls.  Take part in Satan's game of insatiable desires now and take the heat in Satan's Hell for in eternity later.

[1] In contrast, Mary, Mother of God and Jesus, Son of God were perfect.  They never disobeyed God and their bodies never became dust.
[2] Literally and figuratively.  Aside from artificial attempts to preserve the corpse, the flesh decays and becomes dust.  Even well-preserved corpses are usually buried in the ground (dust) and not displayed on the living room table.  Even the body of Saint Bernardette of Lourdes was first placed in the ground after she died but her flesh did not become dust when she was exhumed approximately 30 years later.  Parts of body did return to dust after she was first exhumed, washed and re-buried.  That became known after she was exhumed a second time.  For details, see http://www.ewtn.com/library/mary/bernbody.htm
[3] It is not certain if Hell is hot or cold or both.  Perhaps the temperature varies with the location like real estate on earth, or perhaps it is so cold that it burns.  Would that not be hell?
