"OPPOSING FORCES I"

Since this month, i started the blog by featuring angels and divine beings. And as far my perspective is concerned, I believed that there is always corresponding opposition that co-exists. Still, these are angels, on the contrary of being divine, thus giving them the tag demons.

Self-discipline is the source of a certain virtue. If you pursue self-mastery, most likely you with get to deal with these opposing forces. One by one, I'll post the details with their oppositions. And I hope you like what we can all learn with the topic being featured.
