Disagree, I've met some truly evil people and they lived a long happy life & the living
have not suffered any consequences (btw we are talking about serious issues like
breaking laws, tax fraud, cheating, abusing others........).
karma doesn't necessarily come around in this lifetime, they will volunteer to be incarnated to experience that which they did to others. You can also be rewarded in the next life for following God's law.
What is the most harmful myth/lie that can be perpetuated by humans to humans?
I really hope to get some answers in this thread. Please feel free to explain your answer at length or if you just want to leave a short answer - that's good too.
It is noteworthy that all the classic fairy tales end on that note... "They all lived happily ever after." Perhaps it's a hint of a belief in Universal Salvation and the ages to come.
That technology will solve mankind's problems. Quite the opposite, it will end up badly damaging the planet and setting (the remaining) humans back to something of another dark age. We are already seeing technology losing steam, most of the new developments are just for entertainment.
And I'll pile on about religion. The myth that being religious makes one a good person. No, it usually just makes us narrow, opiated and self satisfied.
I thought the saying was that "idle HANDS are the devil's workshop". I think there is much wisdom in that saying. People who have nothing to occupy their time, especially young people, are more likely to wind up in some sort of trouble or dangerous situation.
