I was reading about the ancient Egyptian god Thoth. It seems, according to his wisdom, the purpose of humans on earth is to transmute darkness into light, or evil into good. Considering all the evil in this world, in its many forms, that is quite the task for us mere mortals. But I do believe that if we can discipline ourselves from actively contributing to, or creating evil, especially within our own families and communities, hence following the ten commandments, which were more like the eighty commandments in ancient Egypt, then I think we have one of the master keys on how to keep more evil from being born on this earth, by just using that one simple key.
We can’t fight all evil, but if we all give a helping hand to those in our lives or the people who cross our path, I do believe this would transmute a lot of darkness into light; if only in the life of the person you touched with kindness, generosity or perhaps offered a helping hand, or shoulder to cry on, when needed
I wonder how, in 2018, you will do your part in contributing to the purpose of life by transmuting darkness into light: for your family, your community, or some stranger that just happened to cross your path and is in need. How will you transmute any darkness now in your life, or in you, to light?
