Physical beauty can bring about unforeseeable tragedies for the soul that lacks discernment.
Excessive money is a door to pauperism, if the one who possess it cannot maintain his own balance.
Too much comfort is a disadvantage, if one does not learn the art of detaching oneself from it.
Prominence can be the introduction to a spectacular fall, if one does not mature ones reasoning.
Too great an authority spoils the joy of living, if the mind does not cultivate a sense of proportion.
Too heavy a responsibility can exterminate the existence of one who has, as yet, not risen above ordinary understanding.
An enormous amount of knowledge in the midst of many ignorant, vulgar, or foolish people is a poisonous and bitter fruit, if the spirit still has not become resigned to solitude.
Excerpted from Chapter 27 of "Christian Agenda" - Chico Xavier (by the Spirit André Luiz)
