____I last spoke of hate and it's darkness in the human heart. But hate is nothing without it's fuel, Fear. Fear is what causes all problems in this world. all sins are derived from fear. The sin of Avarice is the sin of always wanting more currency. It usually develops in those who already have great wealth. The secret to avarice? Fear. It is fear of losing that money. Those who inherit wealth do not have avarice because they did nothing to garner that wealth and intend to spend it. Those who harbor the sin of avarice are those who struggled to get where they are and fear losing their one true symbol of accomplishment.
____Fear is not new. It has driven humanity since the dawn of man. If you are in a relationship with someone and you two seperate. If, when you start talking to others of the opposite sex (or sometimes even the same sex), your previous partner becomes angry and spiteful, and they start lashing out at you and the friend it is because they are jealous. They are jealous of the healthy relationship you share with that person. They are envious of your ability to simply talk with nothing on the line. The ability to socialize freely with that person with anger of what the other said never truly rising. They are envious of this, but it is because they are also fearful. They are afraid that the new person will be better than them and will, in turn, replace them. They lash out in fear because they don't want to lose that person.They fear that the time they spent together will mean nothing. It is why they seek to control the situation but they act irrationally because their paranoia has clouded their judgement. They act and speak without thinking. They use horrible language and hurtful remarks to attempt to gode you or the other person into a challenge that you don't need to fight. Though later they may regret how they acted it is too late to rise above what they have said and done.
____Please again I ask a favor. if you are put into that situation do not allow yourself to be goded into conflict. Pity that person that their fear has so consumed them. But do not accept the challenge. Nothing good comes of it. If you are the one feeling spiteful towards another for speaking to your previous partner, calm down. They may be simply friends. Nobody in this world has the right to dictate who another socializes with. And if they get together do not breathe lies and insults, rejoice that your previous partner has found happiness with another and that they are giving another person the happiness that they shared with you. Do not worry about the future. If you truly still care about them then say so. Time makes fools of us all. Do not be afraid to talk but do not lose control of yourself in the process. Be happy that there is so much kindness in this world that someone can find happiness in another. Because you two split doesn't mean you can't be friends, or that you and the new person they are with can't be friends.
____And NEVER let another come between your friendship. If someone is jealous do not abandon your friend to appease them. Stand up for yourself and the other person. But do not let one fearful person hurt you friendship.



Remember love in all forms is precious.
