They are every where, everywhere!

In my life I have seen both the best and worst of humanity. I have witnessed the results of man's inhumanity towards mankind. I have worked around and with the worst of the bad apples you can imagine that our society has to offer, and even in the worst individuals, if you allow yourself to see it, there is still some good. And even though most of the people you will ever meet are really good and decent folks, there is another type out there. These are a certain type of people that were probably the inspiration for the phrase "Some people are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them." We have all met them, and often times we have met them several times throughout the progression of our lives. These individuals rarely actually break the law, and when they do, they always seem to get by with it. They seem to exist to only make our lives miserable. This is something they certainty do quite well. They are found in every walk of life and in every stripe, creed and color. Sometimes they plague us for a few days or weeks, though there are times they will plague us for years. There is a reason why they enter our lives. That reason is of course different for everyone, but over-all their purpose on a higher plateau is to actually help us to become better human beings. They are definitely unpleasant, and a huge source of stress. They seem to delight in making us miserable simply to make themselves feel better. But this is because their own lives are so miserable. But in each case where they enter our lives, it is because there is something that we need to learn from the experience and they will continue to have an effect upon us and our lives until we can learn the lesson the cosmos demands that we learn.

I recall the words of Sybill Leek where she addressed this phenomenon. Sybil said that people like this are at a low level in their reincarnation cycle, still greatly influenced by their past animalistic natures, and that we may have at one time been just like they are. And although most of us would love to see a utopian society, Sybil claimed that a Utopian Society was an impossibility because we are here in this incarnation to learn and grow. Something that would not be possible in a utopian society.

Well I would like to see a utopian society, where people would help each other out, where everyone had time for meditation, pursuits of the arts, reflection in nature, plenty of everything to meet their needs and on and on, but I too feel this is an impossibility simply because the way people are. Hopefully at some point in our evolution we as a species will finally evolve to the point where it becomes a possibility. But that will not happen in our lifetimes. So we are stuck with those who will exploit us, nature and everything else that they can exploit in any and every way they can for their own reasons and amusement. Those who will always get ahead at our expense. So how do we deal with these people? Well I myself pity them. They are miserable individuals living miserable lives. They do not have any real friends and will never know or understand the true meaning of Love. I also try to learn why they are in my life at that particular time. I intentionally examine my own life and and the part they are playing in it as well as the steps I myself took to bring them into my life. Then I try to work through the lesson they have for me to learn. Once I can accomplish this, I can put them behind me and enjoy much more pleasant things. It is all a part of realizing that we are in control of our own lives and taking personal responsibility for our lives rather than passing the  buck. As we learn the lessons these people have for us to learn, our need to have them in our lives lessens, and the frequency of these types crossing our life paths becomes less and less frequent. Eventually, and hopefully we will ourselves grow to the point where we no longer need to learn and re-learn the life lessons that those types are in our lives to teach us.
