Do you believe in a higher power, a Holy Spirit? 

Do you believe in karma, the principle of cause and effect where actions have consequences—even if those consequences are sometimes delayed? 

If so, then why the blinders? Why is there confusion surrounding instant gratification and power trips that disregard the sacred nature of our actions and the negative consequences rooted in hate or fear? 

Even if you believe in superpowers, were there not those heroes throughout history? 

Let’s examine history and consider what happens to aggressors and destroyers who abuse their power. 

Initially, we often see a rise in power followed by aggressive actions, destruction, and chaos, ultimately leading to a fall or total collapse. 

Why does this happen? 

Because destroyers only know how to destroy; they do not know how to build. 

Take Bashar al-Assad of Syria, for instance. His absolute power has allowed him to commit heinous crimes—especially massacres—against his own people, leading to the destruction of the economy and widespread chaos. 

We can observe similar outcomes with figures like Adolf Hitler and Imperial Japan during World War II. 

Their aggressive actions resulted in inevitable destruction and chaos, which became unsustainable. Economies falter, resources dwindle, and ultimately, these aggressors face defeat. 

Prosperity and peace are jeopardized by destructive actions, as it destabilizes systems, because markets do not tolerate risk and instability. 

There is no way to maintain trade, productivity, investment, or consumer confidence in times of destruction and chaos. 

Yet, intoxicated by their grandiose sense of power, aggressors often fail to notice their declining standing. 

These destroyers prioritize control over others instead of fostering stewardship, goodwill, trust, stability, and the innovations necessary for a healthy economy. 

The end result is never a buildup of prosperity and peace but rather the destruction of both, leading to significant economic downturns and losses—both human and financial. 

The best processes and practices align with the Holy Spirit and the will of the Lord, rather than being driven by selfish gain, aggression, or the desire for conquest. 

In the end, the best leaders are the ones in sustainable and humane practices that are mindful of prosperity and peace, and the consequences of actions, especially their impacts on the economy and the well-being of the people.
