(1 Cor. 4, 17–5, 5; Matt. 24, 1–13) “Because iniquity abounds, the love of many will grow cold” (Matthew 24:12). Love is destroyed by lawlessness; the more sins, the less love. Where all the sins are, don’t look for love there. Therefore, whoever seeks the spread of love and the reduction of dislike must take care of the minimization of sins and the reduction of the area of ​​love of sin. This is the real beginning of humanity! Having accepted it, one must accept all the ways in which one can counteract sin. Sins on the outside are the fruit of internal sinfulness. Internal sinfulness is all rooted in selfishness and its offspring. Consequently, humanists need to make it their law to adopt such rules by which egoism is suppressed, and egoism is most strongly suppressed by not giving oneself the will. Don’t give yourself free rein and you will soon overcome selfishness. On the contrary, use whatever means you want against egoism, you will not do anything with it if you give free will. It follows that where they look for wills in everything, they look for the expansion of egoism and the drying up of love, they look for greater evil. Meanwhile, this is the spirit of the current times - and evil is growing. You might be interested in:
