We are already punished in the ground when we break the laws of bodily existence, with the evils that are the consequences of this offense and our excesses.

Deviation for that we have entered a wrong path, and consequently result in
fallen into misfortune.

You try to envy the joys of those who seem to you the happiness of the world, but maybe you know what awaits them? If you do not have that for themselves, are selfish, and will be the turn of sciagura.Piuttosto compiangeteli. God sometimes allows evil to prosper, but his flourish did not deserve envy, because it will serve with bitter tears.

It could not possibly say if, instead of a bad lawyer, become a good mechanic, and so forth? ".
Kardec: The movement of men out of their intellectual circle is without doubt one of the most frequent causes of false hopes. The inability for career undertaken is the source of troubles, and afterwards heard a bad self-esteem prevents the fall trying to rebuild in a more humble profession, and points out the supreme
suicide as a remedy to escape what he believes to be a disgrace, a humiliation. If moral education he had done more than the silly prejudices of pride, he would never be caught unawares.

Answer: "In no society ordered by the law of Christ, a man must die of hunger."
Kardec: With a wise and prescient social constitution a citizen could not miss the need for his crime, but often its the same faults are the result of the environment in which they live. When the man, made better, and carry out the true law of God, will have a social order based on justice and brotherhood (see numero 793).
931 - Perché nella società in cui viviamo le classi sofferenti sono più numerose delle benestanti?
Risposta: «Sulla terra non esistono classi di persone pienamente felici, e quella felicità, che molti invidiano, nasconde spesso gravissimi cordogli: il dolore sta nel tugurio del povero, come nel palazzo del ricco. Tuttavia, per rispondere al vostro pensiero, dirò che fra voi le classi che chiamate diseredate sono più numerose perché la terra è un mondo di espiazione. Allorché l’uomo ne avrà fatto il regno del bene e il soggiorno dei buoni Spiriti, essa, convertita in un paradiso, non albergherà più sventurati».
932 - Perché mai la forza dei evil prevails so often in this world, on the strength of the good?
Answer: "For the weakness of these. The villains are intriguing and daring, and the good timid. But when they
wish, take over. "
933 - How often is the man the author of his sufferings materials, is also the cause of his moral pain?
Answer: "So, and even worse, because often the materials are beyond the suffering, but the wounded pride, ambition, disappointment, anxiety, greed, envy, jealousy, in short all the passions, are the tortures of the soul. Envy and jealousy! Blessed are those who do not knows these two worms rodents! One who is no longer troubled peace has no rest: the objects of his greed, his hate, his rancor, the first stands on end like ghosts, which do not give him pause, and get him to sleep. The envious and jealous are in constant state of fever. And 'this life bearable? It does not include the man who with his passions is created deliberately atrocious tortures, and turning the earth into a living hell? ".
Kardec: Many phrases depict the effects of certain passions vigorously. It is said to be swollen with pride, fret with envy, consumed with jealousy expressions not far from the truth. Sometimes, envy goes so far as to have no definite object: they are envious that we suffer from the general welfare, and have instead
of famine, public calamities, disasters, and even the beautiful days in the days of great feasts. This is the envy of misanthropes. The man is unhappy
often only for the importance it gives to things of the earth: make unhappy vanity, ambition and greed disappointed. If he falls outside the narrow circle of material life, and elevate his thoughts to the infinite, which is his destiny, the vicissitudes of humanity seemed petty and childish as the discomfort of the child, crying for the loss of a plaything, that it was his delight. Who does not see happiness if not in pride and satisfaction of material desires, is poor, unless we can satisfy, and who does not ask for the superfluous is very pleased that others deem misery. Here we talk
civilized man, because the wild, with more limited needs, has the same objects of lust and anguish and his way of seeing things is different. In the state of civilization, the man thinks about his misfortunes, and analyzes them, and then it hurt more, but may also seek and you will always find consolation in the Christian sense, which gives hope for a better future, and Spiritualism in
that gliene porge la certezza.
