In my last post, I wondered whether humanity might need an outside force — even something like alien contact — to finally unite. But the more I sat with that idea, another question rose: maybe the real enemy has been inside us all along. (Hindu mythology support this idea that good and evil be inside the human in kalyug )
Religions across the world use different names, but the patterns do line up:
In Christianity, Satan is “the tempter.”
In Hinduism, Maya pulls us into illusion.
In Buddhism, Tanha (craving) is the root of suffering.
Different symbols, same thread: it’s not a horned figure out there — it’s the inner trio of greed, temptation, and fear that keeps humans divided.
Just Think it like this:
Fear separates: “I must protect me, not you.”
Temptation distracts: “I want this now, even if it ruins tomorrow.”
Greed isolates: “I need more, even if you get less.”
Every empire that collapsed carried this trio. They didn’t need an external Satan — they self-destructed under these forces.
So maybe the “Satan” story was never about a cosmic villain, but about a mirror. What we’ve been fighting all along is not outside — it’s inside.
And if that’s true, then defeating Satan isn’t an apocalypse. It’s each person learning how to master those three voices within themselves.
The question I want to leave hanging is this:
👉 Should humanity try to eliminate greed, temptation, and fear — or learn to channel them, the way we once tamed fire?
