makes has consequences, both positive and negative. For example, choosing a profession one is passionate about can lead to success and happiness, while choosing destructive behavior can lead to pain and suffering.

      Fose: Do you believe that people have complete control over their choices and their outcomes?

      Lucifer: People have free will, which means that they are able to choose their own path. However, there are always external factors that can influence their decisions. Ultimately, the individual is responsible for his or her own choices and their consequences.

      Fose: Can you give us an example of how this manifests itself in the human experience?

      Lucifer: Sure. Let’s look at the example of addiction. Someone who is addicted to drugs or alcohol may have initially decided to try them, but as their addiction grows, their ability to make rational choices deteriorates. They may continue to use drugs despite negative consequences, such as losing their job, home, or family.

      Fose: How can someone who made the wrong choice in the past change his path?

      Lucifer: It’s never too late to change something. Every moment is an opportunity to make a different choice. However, it is important to understand that changing your path may require sacrifice and hard work. It is also important to acknowledge and take responsibility for past mistakes rather than blaming external factors or making excuses.

      Fose: Is there any final advice you would give people when it comes to their choices?

      Lucifer: I would advise people to use their free will and make conscious, deliberate choices that are consistent with their values and goals. Remember that every choice has consequences, and the responsibility for those consequences lies with the individual. Choose wisely!

      Accepting Evil

      Fose: Thank you for coming, Lucifer. I know it must not have been easy for you to leave hell.

      Lucifer: It’s not often that I get to leave the depths of hell and talk to people.

      Fose: I’d like to talk to you about the attraction of evil. It seems that some people are attracted to it, and they willingly accept it. Why do you think that is?

      Lucifer: Well, people are complex creatures. They are capable of great good and great evil. The lure of evil is often associated with the desire for power, wealth, and success. These things can be obtained by using the darker sides of one’s nature, but there is always a price to pay.

      Fose: What is that price?

      Lucifer: The price of accepting evil is the loss of one’s soul. When a person chooses to indulge his dark impulses, he gives up part of himself. It is a bargain with the devil-you can get what you want, but in the end you have to pay for it.

      Fose: What about the idea that evil can bring success? Do you believe this to be true?

      Lucifer: Yes, it can. Evil can be a powerful tool to achieve one’s goals. But, again, there is a price to pay. Those who embrace evil may be isolated, feared and hated. They may succeed in the short term, but in the long term their actions will catch up with themselves. I have seen this kind of thing happen many times.

      Fose: So you mean to say that the attraction of evil is ultimately a trap?

      Lucifer: Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Evil promises power, wealth, and success, but brings only pain and suffering. Those who choose to accept it may gain everything they ever wanted, but in doing so they will lose themselves.

      Fose: Is there any way for someone who has accepted evil to redeem himself?

      Lucifer: It is possible, but it is not easy. Redemption requires a willingness to admit your past mistakes and make amends. It requires a willingness to sacrifice and do what is right, even if it means giving up everything you have gained through evil.

      Fose: What about those who have not yet accepted evil? What advice would you give them?

      Lucifer: I would advise against the temptation to evil. It may seem like an easy path to success, but it’s a trap. Instead, focus on doing what is right and building meaningful relationships with others. After all, that’s what really matters.

      Suffering the consequences

      Fose: Lucifer. Let’s get right to the point. Can you explain how choosing the side of evil ultimately leads to suffering?

      Lucifer: Of course, Fose. Choosing evil can have immediate consequences, such as physical harm or emotional pain inflicted on others. But even if one avoids the immediate consequences, one will still experience suffering in the long run. This is because the dark side’s choices run counter to one’s innate sense of morality and decency. They can cause guilt, shame, and regret, which can destroy a person’s happiness and sense of self-worth.

      Fose: Can you give us an example of this kind of suffering?

      Lucifer: Sure. Suppose someone had stolen something. They may feel a temporary rush of excitement or satisfaction, but later they are likely to experience guilt and shame. They may worry about being caught or judged by others. They may feel that they have violated their own sense of right and wrong. These feelings can be very strong and cause great emotional pain.

      Fose: That makes sense. Are there other forms of suffering that may result from the choice of darkness?

      Lucifer: Absolutely. Another form of suffering is social isolation. These people are often ostracized by others. They may lose friends or family members who do not want to associate with a person who is behaving in a harmful or immoral way. This experience can be incredibly lonely and isolating.

      Fose: Are there other kinds of suffering you’d like to mention?

      Lucifer: Yes, another form of suffering that can result from evil choices is spiritual suffering. Many people believe in a higher power or have a spiritual sense that guides their lives. When someone makes an evil choice, they may feel that they are betraying their spiritual beliefs. This can cause great inner turmoil and confusion, and can eventually lead to a crisis of faith.

      Choosing to be good

      Fose: So, Lucifer, there’s been a lot of talk about your choice to do evil and corrupt souls. But today I want to talk about the benefits of doing good. Do you think there are advantages to doing good?

      Lucifer: Of course, Fose. There are many advantages to doing good. However, I must clarify that I did not choose evil. I was expelled from Heaven because of my pride and rebellion against God. But to answer your question, good can lead to inner peace and contentment.

      Fose: How can doing good lead to inner peace and contentment?

      Lucifer: Doing good can give you a sense of purpose and satisfaction. When you do something good for someone else, not only does it benefit them, but it also brings a sense of joy and satisfaction to yourself. This is a fulfilling experience that money and material possessions cannot provide.

      Fose: But what if good deeds don’t bring immediate rewards? What if it’s a long-term investment?

      Lucifer: That’s a good question, Fose. Doing good doesn’t always bring immediate rewards, but it’s important to remember
