And the more pure a soul is sometimes everyday life may be more difficult. Insecurity sends money to some pockets.
For example a usual newspaper has front page a crime. They refer to usually the man as the animal who created the crime against usually a woman, let's say at a city far from the capital. The news may not even be real, it could even be fabricated. And perhaps editors may be happy as more newspapers will be sold that day. Every day.
A pure soul may find it unbelievable that another human could do such a bad thing. And could even start wonder, that if someone else could have done that, is it possible that me too?
So he may start to be afraid of himself. While meeting other women, they may sense he is afraid and would not communicate with him. Because they had been scared too by a newspaper or the little red hoody fairytale etc when they were kids. So a vicious circle may begin where he becomes more and more lonely. Although all he wants is to give love.
So what can be done?
It's easy.
Everybody is good.
Fear does not even exist.
The earth is a paradise.
And when we believe it, it becomes a paradise.
