Ill-Will is Very Degenerative - (5372)

Once ill-will has taken shape in a person, it branches off and invades the many areas of life. 

It starts off as ill-will against the Divinity then from the sexual desire it branches off, taking shape in areas of life that are related to sexuality, i.e. relationships. The ill-will of human beings is always almost directed at other human beings. Or if we have ill-will at an object, we have that ill-will because that object is related to a person.

Ill-will then as it grows is the major element of degeneration in a human being. The worst form of ill-will is the one that goes against ourselves. This ill-will takes on many different forms from neglect, over-eating, over-sleeping, fantasizing etc,. to open self-deprecation.

Conversely good-will is a way to regenerate ourselves along with transmutation. In fact, transmutation done well in the complete sense is really total good-will.
