Black Magic: A Childish Game or a Real Threat?
When I mention black magic, many stories come to mind. In 2018, my father's tragic death at the hands of my first younger sister, with the support of a Tantric, for land property, was a stark reminder of its power and harm. From that moment, I am certain that belief in black magic is insufficient and dangerous.
Understanding Black Magic
Black magic is commonly described as magic used for evil purposes, invoking the powers of the devil. However, a more nuanced perspective is necessary. Despite its often malevolent connotations, black magic encompasses a culturally-rooted knowledge that was once harnessed in ancient societies for various purposes. The issue arises when individuals use it to manipulate and deceive others, often for financial gain or power.
My research delved into the negative impact of black magic and witchcraft on society, particularly within the Muslim community. Key aspects of the study include the frustration that comes with black magic, the existence of fake magicians, the opposite effects of black magic, a lack of awareness among people, the influence of media, and the wastage of time associated with such practices.
The Evolution of Black Magic
Black or white magic can be seen as a primitive attempt to control a world filled with fear and uncertainty. It is a relic of an earlier period in human history that is rooted in imagination and lacks scientific validation. The idea that black magic can work is often a product of psychological manipulation and a need for hope and comfort.
Belief in black magic is largely driven by human needs and fears. Those who engage in these practices often do so out of desperation or to seek shortcuts in life. The ironic truth is that the results of relying on supposedly "magical" practices often bring more harm and fear than actual comfort. Furthermore, the idea that black magic offers any real effect can be attributed to the power of suggestion and belief.
The Real Magic in Life
Contrary to popular belief, the true magic in life lies in practical steps and hard work. Working towards one's goals and believing in oneself are the true forces for change. As the Bible says, “When I was a child, I thought as a child.” It is time for us to grow up and let go of our childhood fears and childish beliefs.
Advancements in science have demonstrated that magic is merely a game for children. Daily marvels, such as my phone transcribing my words and connecting me to the world, showcase the transformative nature of technology. With just a few questions, Google can provide accurate answers and detailed information far surpassing the claims of black magic.
In conclusion, black magic is a relic of a bygone era, more of a concept founded in imagination and fear than a real threat. Encouraging people to believe in themselves, work towards their goals, and rely on scientifically-backed solutions is the true magic of our modern world.
