Fear of the Devil

A ghost that scares everyone

By Barnabas PayamPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

It can be said that this fear of the devil started to be born when man was born with fear. It can be said that the fear of the devil starts when the devil is born in our heart. The devil is an evil spirit, and whenever it enters into the hearts of men, man is afraid of the devil.

Fear is when a man sees something greater than his power and cannot conquer it, allowing himself to become a slave to whatever it does to him. This fear is so bad that it can be said that when a man is faced with a man who is stronger than a man, the heart trembles and succumbs.

In our village, those who fear a strong man, i.e. a person who has money, property and power, came to our village and everyone was afraid of him. The fear of power, money, and power, when they have those attributes, fear goes away from them.

If a small child gets scared, it will not go away easily. For example, a child who is afraid of a biting snake will be afraid even if the snake has its fangs removed. When the child is able to hold the snake twice with his hands and it does not hurt him, the child is no longer afraid of the snake. In this way, if people are afraid of something, they will become braver if they find the weakness of the thing they are afraid of to get rid of that fear.

And the fear of the devil is not visible to man. At the end of our village, they said that there is a ghost on the side of the Worm tree that scares people who come alone at night, and everyone in the village knew that fear. Everyone was afraid to go that way at night.

No matter how much money, property and power the people of the village have, they are thinking of what to do, so they called a demon magician from Next town The sorcerer came and performed the cure and said that the devil will not do anything else and took money from all the people in the village and left. The next day, when they prayed to Worm tree at night, they prayed without any fear. They started saying that the ghost had gone.

But after a few days when some people were hanging around that Worm tree road at night, the ghost started scaring them. This time the villagers came to know about this and again went to the sorcerer and complained. The sorcerer said that he would come and exorcise the demon if he paid more. OK, I will give it. The sorcerer came again and said that he would cast out the demon. And for some years, the devil did not frighten him in the same way, and for some years he was frightened again.

This time they scolded the magician and reprimanded him, but they were afraid to say anything to the magician. The people of the village stopped going towards that Worm tree road at night because they could not tell the magician what we can do if the demon magician sends demons on us.

Man overcomes the fear of humans, animals, and finally death, but he is unable to overcome the fear of the invisible devil.

Many ask where the devil is. There are no people who say that there is no ghost. But this devil is the selfishness of men. Selfishness frightens a man and frightens him throughout his life. In other words, what we bring when we are born, we don't bring what we bring when we pass away. But selfishness is the devil for every man to live with selfishness for the end of life. A selfish person worries and scares many.
