Our world has become sometimes intolerable. It is our own making. So now, in order to improve this or repair the world, or the house, the big house that we live in, with so many rooms which are the nations, then we should know that evil is avoidable. Evil is avoided by doing good, by keeping the commandments, by loving thy neighbors. But because our mind is so used to an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth: it is difficult to do what we think we ought to do, or to treat others in a very loving way. Therefore, we need a stronger force to help us, to pull us out of our habitual thinking and actions.

Everything in this world is actually also good for us, even evil. Evil is our mistakes. Fine. But, then we do not have to stay in the mistakes forever. At least the mistakes are a kind of shock When we receive the effect of our mistakes, we will be shocked into realizing that this is not a proper thing to do. It causes us misery and unhappiness. Therefore, we turn around. And even all things in this world which are beautiful and enjoyable, are there to remind us of our true happiness within, in our true home.

Therefore, it is not a sin to enjoy the things that God created for us. But if we always feel very attached to these things, God will remind us that this is not proper. Therefore, we will sometimes experience unhappiness, or misery from the things that we cherish most.

It is wrong to deny the world. But it is not right to sink deep into the world all the time. Because we miss the better half of life which is spirit, which is more enjoyable than anything that this world could afford. Everything in this world is just a reminder of the true happiness, the true glory, and the true life that we should have and that we should know, because we have forgotten.
