Why do we fall?

Our eternal relationship with life is not one of the simplest ones. We are fighting every moment with the devils inside us. You cannot always identify them. But these devils stay with you even when you so much want to move ahead of them. The thought of defeating these devils makes us more vulnerable to these devils. It is not always us against the world but us against ourselves. There are many falls that occur in our lives but why do we fall? Why do we give in to the devils inside us? Because may be just may be they are our own, they belong to us. No matter how the thing is, what the thing is. It belongs to me, it belongs to my identity how can I not be with it. It makes me what I am. May just may be it is very much a part of me as any other organ inside my body. Why is there a fight when I can accept them.

yes. It is a continuous fight against evil or devil by whatever term you may call it.

I don't struggle with demons. I live life to the fullest and take it day to do. I do what I know is the best for me. I am far from perfect but I am who I am. I know right from wrong and live my life in that manner.

Pleasure and pain are twin brothers.If you want to accept happy things.At the same time, you are likely to accept the pain.Misfortune may be an actual blessing.Good things, or things can be transformed into each other, So enjoy everything to enjoy life, enjoy happiness.

I don't think about devils inside me. I certainly don't fight with them 'every moment' as you claim. I find such thoughts unhealthy.

The inner conflict exists in us because we don't wanna be slaves in the hands of those devils.We are constantly fighting with them & the fight will carry on until we finish them once and for all.They never belonged to anyone nor they are meant for us.Root analysis reveals that "body consciousness" & "mind consciousness" are the reasons why they exists in us.One can only get rid of those devils through "soul consciousness".The choice is ours...

you should start believing in god and you should star pray, you should always thank god even for the little things....if you want those devils out of your head...this is your only solution! PRAY!

I think devil is nothing but a negative energy or negative thoughts that hamper our positive or assertive approach towards life or how we look at others. The devil does exists in all of us and some people recognize and some dont. When we realize that a certain problem has no solution at all, then the devil forces rise more as they tell us that the world around us is not that good enough as we perceive it to be.

There is no devil inside me, but is the sinful nature that is still in my fleshly body. The Holy Spirit of God is within me but my flesh is weak, vulnerable to sin. I do really fall into sin many times. It is just by the grace of God that I am still alive. The fight within us, especially if you put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ is between the Holy Spirit and the Flesh. The flesh wants to please the body and the Holy Spirit wants to please God.
