Sat Sri Akal Ji!

Sikhi is a way of life and Gurbani is our teachings. According to Gurbani we are to think positive about life and take everything as Guru's will. It is also written that no one is bad or wrong and we should consider everyone as part of ours. I just love to love and serve people. I am a strong beleiver of Gurbani and try to see world in a very optimistic way. I always try to learn atleast one good thing about each individual I meet in life, but no matter how hard I try I cant stop myself from thinking that there are evil people and they exist to ruin other's lives. I have tried to see good in others but there are few who seem not to be good hearted people and are not even willing to change. How do I deal with it and how do I see good in others? are there people who really have a bad heart and want to hurt others??? or it is just the way we think?
(REPLY) Sat Nam. Yes, of course it is true, God lives and breathes in everyone. Unfortunately, the divine essence, the true identity (Sat Nam) can be buried so deeply beneath layers of karma in some people that all that manifests is the "evil" on the surface. I think the best we can do is to pray for those who hurt others, and keep on living our low lives as righteously as we can. And it seems you are doing a good job of that! God bless you. SP
