You have to believe in the intrinsic goodness of people. If we believe that there is a divine hand in the creation of this world and therefore, there HAS to be an element of this divine energy in everything, then every soul is pure.
Of course, there are layers of
pollution piling up for various reasons. Healing those with awareness and
consciousness is the prime soul contract while transiting from life to life. And
no! It is NOT easy. The churning and turmoil, the pain and the disappointments
are all related to our identification with our body and mind. We are unable to
transcend these to identify our soul purpose which brings us here. And we are
all in this together! The reason to follow a path of dharma, of compassion,
simple humility and a clean mind is simply this. Truth lives within these
qualities and so does human connectivity. Our minds have gone berserk, looking
at the destruction around the world. With power at your command, you can kill
with the press of a button. But, killing with kindness and empathy are
laughable concepts with most people.
All three aspects of Shiva, as
creator, preserver and destroyer are within us. People who pray to Shiva, and
are in awe of the qualities he exhibits, are still unable to understand that
prayers are meant to embody Shiva in OUR lives, to practice what he symbolizes.
Look within, identify the three traits within and work on them.
