If It Only Weren't for Him!

Paul Stark Seeley

One of the many blessings Christian Science offers is the way by which an individual whose happiness, success, and progress seem to be blighted by the wrongdoing of another, can mentally free himself from this blighted sense through an understanding of God and man.

Evil aggressively suggests to many individuals: You are a fairly good sort, but that other fellow is the cause of your trouble, and until he changes his ways your life is likely to be far from a happy one. This trouble-maker appears in many roles. Often it is a husband or a wife, a business associate, a competitor, a critic or a gossiper, a jealous or malicious opponent. How often we are tempted to think that if we could only remake this other fellow, life would have a rosy hue.

The one who is plagued with the common belief that he is entrapped in the material sense of life and selfhood, bound to some person or situation that is intolerable, his happiness clouded, his ambitions thwarted, his progress hampered, his health and life perhaps jeopardized by some wrong thinking, wrong-acting mortal, can surely find his deliverance in Christian Science.
