Miracles are useful. From a pragmatic point of view, we should have faith in miracles. Faith is the strength that engenders a miracle by uniting with truth and love.

Blind faith in one's paradigm breeds lies because it denies other paradigms. You should know that changing the paradigm changes the way things look, so, recognizing the truth of one point of view, recognize the truth of two other opposites at once.

Faith is the power of action. In a calm state, faith is a potential force. To feel the real power of faith, one must act. In motion, the potential force passes into the kinetic and there is a process of transformation and release of energy.

People who have moved to the virtual world will lose their faith and will turn into trees. Faith used to be their strength of movement but there is no movement in the virtual world. Having lost the habit of moving, people will lose their faith and will no longer be able to move, thus turning into trees.

Pridefulness and vanity are dangerous also due to making one undertake tasks (or draw tasks and problems), that are too hard for one to fulfil. Having lifted a heave load for a while, a person gets frozen as legs give way before falling down…
And the heavy load falls upon the person, pressing to the ground with its weight and making it difficult to draw breath ...
And there lies that person, dragged in the mud, and finally realizes that
pride and vanity are terrible sins and probably are the worst of all sins...
And God looks at it from above... smiles and rubs hands … and thinks: didn't I tell you that you shall not make for yourself an idol, even if this idol is yourself...
Pride, vanity and self-complacence contribute to one's attempts to make an idol out of oneself.
Remember that Providence doesn't like fake idols.
As it was said that you shall not make for yourself an idol...

Some people don't see the difference between pride and pridefulness. Pride means gladness for something done well or right. While pridefulness is a sin that makes one full of complacence and the feeling of being very special and irreplaceable.
Pridefulness is an attempt to make an idol of one's own personality so that to pray to oneself and even demand others to worship one.
Pridefulness doesn't make one feel anything but hatred towards others.
Pridefulness is a source of hatred.
While pride is a source of sincere gladness and happiness.

Many silly people think how nice it would be to sell soul to the devil, nurture the inner demon etc, as those people are under the illusion that it may bring them money, power, wits...
The problem is that the devil already exists within each of us. And he starts to show his presence only when a person already gains power. The devil doesn't give power as he's like a side effect of being in power.
What's more, I may suppose that the essence of the devil's existence is in destroying its possessor.
The devil is a means of self-destruction and it becomes active when a person becomes stronger than usual. This makes a person's sins become active too and it makes this person unbearable for others. Thus, others can easily and relaxedly destroy this person possessed by the devil. Sometimes one's sins may be so heavy that their possessor destroys himself and no one's help is necessary for that.

The danger of being cloyed with pleasure is that the state of being cloyed demands doubling the amount of pleasures. And doubled or tripled amounts of pleasures are very expensive and extremely destructive for human bodies and souls.
Avoid being cloyed with anything. As the state of being cloyed is the enemy of pleasures and happiness.
Be satisfied with little. For instance, be happy with a little slice or a piece.
To know when enough is enough is like to know God.

Movies and literature popularize the idea that one should break laws of ethics and moral codes in order to become successful and wealthy. It's a big lie and the most wrong way of seeing things. As everything happens another way.
At first, a right strong person gains power and wealth and only after that this person's sins start to recur chronically. A person who is weak in spirit will never climb up to the height of power or wealth. Unless someone helps this person or this person has nice connections. But it's only someone decent and noble who can gain everything all by oneself.

- Yes, it's possible but this way the joy will quickly bore you and you'll start to hate it...

Uselessness brings unbearable pain. Not every person can tolerate such a torture. Suicide as a kind of humane euthanasia seems to be a nice way out…
Obviously, it's the state of feeling oneself useless that is the first reason of all thoughts about suicide. When a partner "dumps" you. When you got no children or they died. Or your job is meaningless and brings NOTHING. You got no aims and meaning in life. You're simply useless for anyone or anything and it brings you excruciating pain and makes you want to die.
But there is a better way out- try to find something you can be useful in. Find those who need you. Find the meaning of life and the place where you can be useful and appreciated. A human being is a tool and the meaning of one's life is about being useful for somebody or something. One may be useful for the providence and the goals it fulfils. Or one may be useful for one's children or relatives...
One should be simply useful for somebody or something.
Find new goals and tasks. Find someone to love. Start a family or adopt a child. Go in for art or constructive work. Start helping people in need. Or become the best helper to those who are already fulfiling great goals or those who are "creators". Plant trees and take care of your garden... Life is full of places where one can find one's predestination in.
