Christian tradition depicts a human being as accompanied …
Christian tradition depicts a human being as accompanied all his life by an angel on his right and a devil on his left. The angel gives him good advice and enlightens him while, on the other side, the devil tries to mislead him so that he may become its victim. One may ask why angel and devil are content to remain quietly beside people, why do they not spring at each other's throat. It would be simpler, and the winner would seize the poor fellow concerned. But no, they do not fight, they have respect and esteem for one another, they even greet each other: 'Good day, here you are, how are you?' The devil does not attack the angel of light, nor does the angel strike down the devil. Why? Because in reality the guardian angel and the devil are images that express two realities: a superior and an inferior world; the divine nature and primitive nature. These two natures coexist in man, and it is up to each one to decide which of the two nature he wants to express.
