The negative confession
"The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see."
-- Winston Churchill
Over 5000 years ago the Egyptians earnestly believed in life after death.That´s why classical Egyptian mummies had in their hands a carefully folded papyrus with a negative confession like this:
I have not stolen/ plundered
I have not killed / slain anybody
I have not told lies
I have not been an adulterer
I have not done harm to anybody
I have not caused ruin to any family
I have not drunk or eaten in excess
I have not done any wrong against Nature
I have not misbehaved
I have not committed a crime
I have not cursed
I have not caused anyone to weep
I have not eaten my heart out
I have not gone or led anyone astray
I have not been deceitful
I have not gossiped or slandered or eavesdrop
I have not been contentious in affairs
I have not caused terror
I have not become heatedly angry
I have not been arrogant
I have not reviled the Pharaoh
Now, being good can be extremely boring. Turn the above confession into positive by creating as evil a person as you can think of. Remember to draw inspiration from Satan, Lucifer or Beelzebub.....
Give him or her a name and try to draw him or her
Great minds discuss ideas,
Average minds discuss events,
Small minds discuss people.
