Yikes. I was just looking over the posts I made earlier today and
one of the ones I made in this thread came across as overly harsh IMO (not just to Steve, but harsh in general).
That wasn't my intention, and while you could say I’m probably overly critical of what I do, it's just that expressing my
true “Self” without that expression being influenced by my conditioning is important to me, as is being considerate and reasonable to my fellow humans and life in general. As I feel I generally sucked at doing that in my post, I’ll briefly clarify what I really wanted to say:
_____________________________
Is Steve good or evil?
Steve, like anyone else, is neither good nor evil. Steve is human, and in my opinion, an exceptional one at that. The perspective you adopt will determine how you see things, and as such, I believe “evil” is a matter of perspective.
I think what
is important is that you live your own truth, regardless of what it might be. If you don’t do this you may very well label other people as evil if, from your perspective, they seem to exploit you or seem to only be interested in helping themselves, but that is irrelevant.
Only you have the power to create the life you want to live. Until you claim your power, you’ll praise those who positively influence you, curse those who negatively influence you, when you’re the one who’s in control all along. I've found this to be true in my experience. Life is something to be enjoyed, not feared. To quote Esther Hicks/Abraham:

If you knew your potential to feel good, you would ask no one to be different so that you can feel good. You'd free yourself of all of that cumbersome impossibility of needing to control the world, or control your mate, or control your child. You're the only one who creates your reality. For no one else can think for you -- no one else can do it. It is only you... every bit of it you.
