The word “devil” comes from Greek διαβολος. It basically means to be antagonistic. It’s Greek translation of שטן or شطن, which means “to oppose”and later became 2nd deity despite monotheism. I believe it came originally from military cult of Set 𓃫𓉥 the Israelites were enslaved to, which was taken out of context from a complex allegory about our relationship to environment: observation 𓅃 or 𓂀.

It’s a #behavior.

Could think of examples, yet don’t want to waste energy. We know in our hearts.

Turns out an experiment to determine the cause of addition revealed that as our environment grows increasingly hostile, addition increases right along with it.
