Hello, lovely souls! It’s Hannah Macintyre here, diving into one of life’s big, uncomfortable, and often-avoided questions: Why do bad people exist? It’s not exactly light reading, but stick with me—I promise to sprinkle in my usual dose of humour, honesty, and perhaps even a few mind-bending spiritual truths.
The Free Will Factor
Let’s start with the spiritual elephant in the room: free will. You’ve heard of it, right? That wonderful, complicated gift that lets us make our own choices—the good, the bad, and the “what-was-I-thinking?”
In the grand cosmic design, free will is non-negotiable. It’s like the Wi-Fi of the universe: invisible but essential. The spirit world won’t override it, not even when we’re about to make a spectacularly bad decision. Why? Because our souls are here to learn, grow, and evolve through experience. And sometimes that involves making choices that are, well, less than stellar.
But Why Do Some People Choose to Be Awful?
Ah, the million-dollar question. Some people make choices driven by fear, pain, ego, or unresolved trauma. They’re not inherently evil; they’re disconnected from their own light. Imagine trying to find your way in the dark without a torch—you’re bound to bump into things (or people).
Then there are those who seem to relish causing harm. Spiritually speaking, they’re often stuck in deep karmic cycles, repeating patterns until (hopefully) they learn the lessons they need. It’s not an excuse, but it is an explanation.
The Soul Contract Twist
Here’s where it gets really interesting: some souls agree to play challenging roles in our lives to help us grow. Yes, that awful boss, the friend who betrayed you, even the stranger who cut you off in traffic—they might be part of your soul’s syllabus. Think of them as the spiritual equivalent of those dreaded group projects in school: annoying, but educational.
The Spirit World’s Role (Spoiler: It’s Not Micromanaging)
People often ask, "Why don’t spirit guides step in and stop bad things from happening?" The answer? Because they can’t. Their job is to guide, not control. They’re like spiritual sat-navs: they can suggest the best route, but if you decide to drive into a ditch, that’s on you.
How Do We Cope With the Existence of Bad People?
Focus on Your Own Growth: You can’t control others, but you can control how you respond.
Set Boundaries: Protect your energy. Compassion doesn’t mean being a doormat.
Seek the Lesson: Even the worst experiences can teach us something about ourselves.
Don’t Sugarcoat It: Some people are just awful. Acknowledge it, but don’t let it define you.
Final Thoughts: Finding Light in the Darkness
Bad people exist because we live in a world of contrasts. Without darkness, we wouldn’t understand the value of light. Without challenges, our souls wouldn’t grow.
So, next time you find yourself wondering why some people seem to have skipped the “How to Be a Decent Human” class, remember: their behaviour is a reflection of them, not you. Keep shining your light, set your boundaries, and know that even in the messiness of human existence, your soul is exactly where it needs to be.
