Ways
of
Blame
You know, humans have feelings so strong that they can easily take over
when their souls have to choose between good and bad.
Their feelings about themselves and about each other can be so strong
that they don't properly understand what is good and what is bad any more,
and so they make mistakes.
And when they choose what is bad, it is bad for themselves,
as well as bad for the other people around them.
Well, people's Ways of Blame are not liked by other people.
They call them Vices,
and they blame the people who have them for any bad things that happen,
because bad things tend to gather around the vices.
Now most people don't want other people to not like them,
so you would expect them to avoid the Ways of Blame,
but the Vices can be very strong.
So to live together we need to learn
how to keep these feelings that attract us to Ways of Blame
under control.
We need to learn how to control our Vices,
and struggle against them.
But of course we can't get rid of what attracts Blame altogether,
because the Ways of Blame are a part of who we are.
We have them for a purpose.
That's why we know we can't get rid of them altogether,
we just have to learn the power to control them.
And of course, in that we are helped by God the All-Powerful,
so we have the Best of Helpers.
So what do we know about Vices?
Which way
do you want to go?
Jealousy
Not sharing in other people's happiness.
Ingratitude
Feeling no need to say Thankyou.
Ignorance
Not knowing what is important.
"Call upon God
or call upon
the Fount-of-All-Mercy
whichever you call upon
to Hu belong
the Most Beautiful Names"
and do not be loud
in your Sala
or too quiet in it
but look for a way
between those
your Liege is God
Hu created
the heavens and the earth
in six days
then set Hu upon
the Throne
in command of
everything
no-one can plead for mercy
except by Hu's permission
that is God
your Liege
so serve Hu
will you not remember?
those who believe
and do good deeds
their Liege will guide them
for their belief
rivers will flow
beneath them
in gardens of joy
as a shining
and the moon
as a light
giving it phases
so you might know
the number of years
and the counting of time
God only created that
in truth
making the Signs clear
for people who know
