Sub-Topic 1:  CAUSES OF COMMON CRIMES

Weakness

People are not bad by nature, but sometimes simply too timid to resist the vicious demons that play on their weaknesses and cut their bond with the source of their Power. Humans are good by default, but not everyone is made of steel so as to defend themselves against the demonic forces – destructive emotions and detrimental attitudes: There are two core reasons why weakness prevails with some:

  • lack of faith, not believing enough in the power of one’s own internal weapons (against inner demons), such as:
  • imbalance– most criminals are simply too strong physically, pumping up the body muscles, but not enough the mental and emotional muscles. The reason why their strength becomes weakness is because they are not balanced.

Poor judgment

Lack of proper education and great role-models causes many to fail to distinguish right from wrong. In most cases offenders don’t think they are doing something wrong; it seems right from their point of view.
Poor judgment is also reflected in knowing it’s wrong, but thinking they could get away with it, not getting caught.

Lack of love

Being raised in a dysfunctional family, or coming from a disadvantaged background, or feeling discriminated, none of it alone can cause crime. There are so many others in the world with such conditions, but nevertheless don’t turn to crime. However, they cause the lack of love and respect for others. That, endorsed with some other factors, can be a major issue related to crime.
