Have You Been Making a Deal with The Devil?

    We all have our own lives, things to do and stuff to deal with. And, tragic as it may sound but yes, its full of wrong choices, bad luck, frustration, worries etc etc. Well, that’s life! you have to suffer your share of the not-so-good-tings also along with the heart sweeping beautiful moments.
Some days when i lounge around my place when i have the time, *I like to pretend to be a very busy person even when i sit on my ass all day surfing the net or just wasting time*, i think over things and then the tragic reality dawns over me.
Its a terrible life with terrible people! We have all been corrupted. Admit it. Lies, anger, envy, lust, greed, arrogance, gluttony and what not! I am not sure how often we practice the Seven Holy Virtues but sure as hell i know *oh! I know* we commit the Seven Deadly sins along with the numerous little ones, everyday– intentionally, accidentally or maybe habitually *its true my lad, true*

All we ever want these days is Power and money and most of us could do anything to get it.
“I could cheat to get better grades”
“I could cheat my co-worker to outshine him at the presentation and get noticed”

Its like we are slowing but steadily turning into Faust.
Okay first let me tell who who this Faust guy was.

Faust is the protagonist of a classic German legend.

Faust was a brilliant scholar but despite his scholarly eminence, Faust is bored and disappointed. He decides to call on the Devil for further knowledge and magic powers with which to indulge all the pleasure and knowledge of the world. In response, the Devil’s representative, Mephistopheles, appears.

He makes a bargain with Faust: Mephistopheles will serve Faust with his magic powers for a term of years, but at the end of the term, the devil will claim Faust’s soul and Faust will be eternally damned. The legend of Faust is often used to describe an arrangement in which an ambitious person surrenders moral integrity in order to achieve power and success. So what this guy basically did was strike a deal with the devil.

You must have heard the song Cross Road Blues by Robert Johnson? This song is frequently linked to stories of the singer himself selling his soul to the devil for the ability to play music.

Well, there is no knowing if there really is a God or Angels or for that matter the Devil or the demons. If the stories of the Crossroad deals have any truth in them or they are mere human imagination.
Its all a matter of choice- To believe or not to believe.
