Slander

Some people when they feel the uselessness of their life with a awareness of failure, maliciously attack others, slander them, and try to destroy their reputation and life. This they do just to make themselves feel that they still have value, they still exist, and they still can operate and draw attention from people. But in such an effort to prove to themselves that they still exist, they find themselves in deeper and deeper despair and emptiness.

For a while the fight against their victim keeps them alive, but as the victim is knocked down or even annihilated or is unmoved by their attack, they feel that they have totally lost their existence. This leads them to depression and suicide.

The awareness of your existence cannot be restored by the destruction of others but by the affirmation of the existence of others. Attacking others slowly reduces your existence. Recognizing the values of others builds your awareness of your own existence.

People destroy themselves in trying to destroy others for the sake of their hatred, anger, jealously, and fear.

Man is created in such a way that he can regenerate and vivify himself only in regenerating and vivifying others. This is a most mystic law.

People slowly become like vacant and abandoned houses in trying to deny others their values and beauty. They wait anxiously to see an error in others by their own standard or by their malice in order to attack them. Such an attack is like a thief who takes away furniture from your home and carries the furniture to another home, the owners of which you hate.

Our individuality is built only by the moments of recognition of the values of others, or in moments when we try to help others to overcome their errors. By giving light you increase your light. By giving your love, you increase your love. By trying to make people beautiful, you increase the resources of your beauty.
