Life is a war – not with outside but inside demons – we must fight the demon of ego, "I want", "Now!" We do this through the antidote of humility – mainly induced through gratitude – hence Jewish people daily say a litany of thanks – We must fight the demon of fear – we do this mainly through faith which again comes for gratitude (for by recognizing we are given… we lack insecurity.) We must fight the demon of laziness – we do this by considering how others lack. – We must fight the demon of addiction by realizing its utter shameful degradation; and finally we must fight the demon of pride, and we do this through reminding ourselves of our shame.
