Evil individuals have two enemies, one that is small and one that is great. The small enemy is the multitude of peoples whom evil individuals oppress. The great enemy is the very evil itself that resides within the heart of the evil individual.

Those whom evil individuals oppress do not always have the necessary strength to pose a threat to their oppressors. The weak and the downtrodden may or may not be able to defend themselves against evil souls, therefore they are most often no threat at all. This is why they are called the small enemy, for although they pose a constant threat to the evil individual in their thirst for justice and revenge, still more often than not, they lack the power and therefore can cause no real serious harm.

However, although the weak and oppressed can be silenced and their danger neutralized, there still remains the greater enemy, the one who cannot be silenced, or intimated. The great enemy cannot be oppressed, for it is the oppressor. The great enemy cannot be conquered for it is the conqueror. The evil heart inside the evil individual has a life of its own and more often than not turns on its own self, just as easily as it turns on the weak and oppressed. Ultimately in the end the evil individual becomes as much a victim of his own evil as are those whom he oppresses. This is unavoidable and inevitable. Evil is its own downfall. For them we have no pity and for them we shed no tears. Evil deserves its fate.

After all the harm evil does to others, evil eventually turns back on itself and destroys its host. Although we may not be the instruments for the destruction of evil, we can hurry it along. Although we may not be strong enough to confront, attack and defeat evil, we can still gain a minor victory in that we are able to resist. It is in our resistance that lays our true strength and it is in our resistance that plants the seeds for evil's inward turn and destruction of itself.

The secret of defeating evil is righteousness. Righteousness simply means living by doing what is right, always. It is often hard to distinguish between right and wrong in all circumstances. Therefore, the righteous rely upon what they know in their hearts more so than what they know in their heads.

Knowing in the heart is not an emotional state. Knowing in the heart begins when feelings and emotions end. In order to truly know what the heart knows one must silence the noise of conflicting emotions and still the raging fire of one's feelings.

When the heart is silent, then it can hear the voice of the inner mind. The inner voice is not heard by either the ear or the mind, but the heart knows its language well. It tells the heart what the right thing is to do, when and how to do it. This is the voice of conscience. It is the heart of righteousness. No one can be righteous without a conscience. No one can hear the voice of conscience over the roar of a conflicted heart.

One's house is one's home; yet it is more than a building or a physical place. The house of the righteous is his inner place; the place where his heart and mind merge as one, showing him the proper path that defines righteousness. This house shall stand forever, it shall never fail or fall.

Although the power of evil can be most formidable and most foreboding, still, the righteous stand firm against it. Although the evil one may kill the body of the righteous soul, still the resolve and heart of the righteous will stand firm and live forever. Thus his house remains forever intact.

The echo of righteousness lives on forever. It is more powerful than any force evil individuals can ever generate. The echo of righteousness seeps into the inner mind of the evil individual and does war with his evil heart. It is this inner war that is the fall and demise of evil. When evil turns to fight the inner war within the evil individual, the evil becomes consumed; it self-destructs and eventually ceases to exist.

The echo of righteousness however will live on and on. It will pass from one righteous soul to the next, from one generation to the next. In the end, only righteousness will remain. This is a long road and we still have a way to travel upon it. Yet, the end is near, and the outcome is assured.
