Euripides

 

Euripides, the ancient Greek tragedian, often explored the darker side of greatness, frequently cautioning that it is inherently fragile and brings no lasting profit to those who possess it.*

Key Themes on Greatness in His Works

Euripides' perspectives on greatness typically revolve around its instability and the heavy price one pays for it: *

Fragility and Ruin: He observed that "greatness brings no profit to people" because the gods often bring "greater ruin to great men’s houses" when they are angered.*

Insecurity: He famously asked what could be trusted in an uncertain life, noting that "happiness, greatness, pride – nothing is secure, nothing keeps".*

The Power of Balance: Instead of striving for extreme greatness, he recommended keeping a "balance in your life" and acknowledging the great powers both around and within you as the mark of a truly wise person.*

Effort and Excellence: While wary of greatness, he acknowledged that "virtue proceeds through effort" and that it is foolish to desire great results without putting in the necessary work. *

How wise is it to attack friendlies and destroy allies?  

How wise is it to go against wisdom and the teachings of Christ?  

How wise is it to break with the Lord's covenant to love and serve humanity, the children of God?  

How wise is it to practice harm to gain Caesar's powers and material wealth, all of which you cannot take with you when you die, and to accumulate sins and crimes against humanity?  

How wise is it to gain the world and destroy your soul and that of the innocent?  

How wise is it to Satanically power and control people and override their talents, gifts, and their basic human rights to live in unholy delusions of grandeur?  

All is not as it seems when practicing lies, Ponzi schemes, grandiose delusions in excessive power trips, and harm.  

Individuals created by the Lord, born of the fruit of the Spirit, cannot be confined or defined by superficial, foolish lies and grandiose imaginary Satanic control. Those assessments would be grossly exaggerated and wrong.

How wise is it to go against spiritual and natural laws without conscience and connections to the Holy Spirit?  

How wise it is will be revealed on Judgment Day.

According to scriptures (Google AI search), when sinners keep on sinning, the Bible describes a progression toward divine judgment, spiritual separation from God, and ultimate destruction.  

Willful, habitual sin suggests a lack of true knowledge of God, as those truly born of the Lord do not live in a lifestyle of continued, deliberate sin. 

Key biblical perspectives on continuing to sin:

No Sacrifice Remains: Hebrews 10:26-27 states that if one keeps sinning willfully after receiving the truth, no sacrifice for sins remains, but only a fearful expectation of judgment.

Wages of Sin is Death: Romans 6:23 declares that the consequence of persistent sin is death, whereas God provides eternal life through Christ.

Separation from God: Continued, unrepentant sin causes spiritual hardness and alienates individuals from the life of God, notes Ephesians 4:17-32.

Not Knowing God: 1 John 3:6 states that anyone who continues to sin does not know or see God.

Discipline for Believers: God disciplines believers who continue to sin, acting as a loving father to guide them back, according to Hebrews 12: 5-8.

💭🙏

Everything requires readiness and preparation.

Before “Lord, hear our prayer,” we prepare our mind, heart, and soul and connect with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ✝️🙏.

Before every meal, we are ready, we connect, we ask the Lord to bless us, and we give thanks to the Lord for the gifts of our meal and the blessings.

Before every request and ask, we humbly connect with the Holy Spirit to ask the Lord for our needs, such as giving us strength and courage, and the calmness of mind and wisdom to overcome each trial and tribulation.

Before we sleep, we prepare ourselves to receive the Holy Spirit, give ourselves to the Lord to keep, and through our dreams, we seek and subconsciously solve or resolve problems of the day and face the unknown. And if we die before we wake, we surrender our souls to the Lord to take.

If we do not prepare the way for the Lord’s will and instructions, and the lights of healing, creativity, and innovation, then the path toward prosperity, peace, and salvation will not be easily received and acted upon.

Are you ready and prepared to receive the blessings and instructions of the Lord?

And pave the way to nurture the fruit of the Spirit in yourself, your children, and humanity?

Are you ready and prepared for the lights of salvation, prosperity,  and peace?

Do you not have someone you want to protect?

A daughter, a son, or a loved one?

Protecting oneself from harm includes spiritual and moral purity of heart, not just physical well-being.

Desecrating the temple of the Holy Spirit causes more harm, not only to the victim.

Finally, protecting yourself from harm also involves guarding against harmful spiritual influences, such as sin, and anything that could lead to damnation or prevent salvation.
