Author of quotes: Allan Kardec. Page 1

You chose the test. The more difficult the better you survive, the more you are exalted. Those who spend their lives in affluence and human happiness, the essence of cowardly spirits, frozen in its development. Thus, the accidents in this world far exceeds the number of happy, because spirits are mostly looking for tests that would be more fruitful for them. They see all too well the emptiness of your honors and pleasures. However, life is indeed the happiest always in motion, always in tension, and not simply the absence of pain.

They chose the test, he creates for himself a kind of new destiny, which is a consequence of the position in which it is located; I'm talking about the physical test for that which concerns the moral trials and temptations, the spirit of preserving the freedom of his will towards good or evil, are always free to give in to temptation or to resist. Any good spirit, seeing that he's getting weaker, can come to his aid, but cannot influence him to subdue his will itself. Evil, that is, inferior spirit, showing him in every way and in front of him, exaggerating physical danger, can bring him out of balance and intimidate; but the will of the embodied spirit is still free from any bondage.

Question: How to reconcile the liberal opinions of some people from that despotism, which they often display in their home and with their subordinates?

Question: Since men are equal before the law of God, then should they be equal before the law human?
Answer: This is the first Foundation of justice is: "do Not do to others what you would not want yourself".

Response: rights - Yes; responsibilities - no. Everyone went about their business; let the man engaged an external party, the woman internal, each according to his inclination. Human law, to be fair, should consecrate the equality of rights between man and woman; every advantage provided to one before the other, disgusted of justice. The liberation of women follows the progress of civilization; her enslavement is in hand with barbarism. The floors, however, exist only in physical organization; because the spirits can take one gender or another, between them there is no difference in this respect, and therefore they should enjoy the same rights.

Question: does a woman of her physical weakness naturally dependent on men?
Answer: God has given the one more strength to protect the weak, not oppress it.

But until that happens, you will remain only the enlightened peoples is only the first stage of civilization.
Two peoples who have reached the top rung on the ladder of social development, only one can call themselves the most civilized in the true sense of the word, in which only less selfishness, avarice and pride; habits which are more intellectual and moral than material; in which the mind can develop with the greatest freedom; which is more kindness, goodwill, mutual blahozelania and generosity; whose caste and birth prejudice the least rooted, for those prejudices are incompatible with true love of neighbor; in whose laws do not sanctify any privileges and is the same as for the first, and for the last of the citizens; at which justice is carried out with the least passion; which always finds the weak protected from the strong; in which human life, beliefs of a person and his opinions are most respected; where only less number of accidents and where, finally, every person of goodwill is always sure that he will not be lacking in the necessary.
