I am spiritual sugar. Who doesn’t love sweets? I run fast. I get digested in hearts and minds, able to change them. I rule over thoughts and feelings and tongues. I change the course of history! I am everywhere and you love me. I cause decay and disease and loss of life, health and money. But I am just too tasty! When I am at my best, aided by my people, I can travel the globe instantly. I last as long as human memory and stone will stand.

Worry

Come, let’s think about the most fearfully awful, tragic things that could happen. Nobody likes me, but everybody entertains me. I am that urge to pick. I pick pick pick at anything you’ll give me. I only last in the present. I take your faith and tell you to put it in your fears. You listen to me. You always listen to me. You proudly call yourself a worrier! You use me as an excuse for everything. You’ll never get rid of me because it’s way easier to live with me than faith and hope in what’s Good.

Violence

I come out of nowhere and strike where I will. I overwhelm. Destruction and death follow me. My influence branches out in any atmosphere. Strength and viciousness attend me. I shock and terrify. I am in the abtract and the material, through dimensions. I work through people, the weather, animals, words and feelings. There is nowhere I cannot be.
