Fate forces us to work with the spirit - Fate cannot be moved to pity

08/07/2022

Fate cannot be moved to pity, but it is never cruel; it is simply just. All the misdeeds you have committed are piled up on one side of the scales, but if you decide to turn your life around, the good you do will be added to the other side. So, when the time comes to pay for your transgressions, all your good thoughts, feelings and actions will counterbalance the bad, and the payment will be lighter. This also means that you must not become fatalistic and say, ‘Since my fate is such and such, there is nothing I can do about it; I just have to accept it.’ No, you must never forget that fate has no desire to stifle or snuff out the spirit. On the contrary, its role is to force us to arouse the spirit and work with it, so as to create a new destiny for ourselves.
