Three Spirits

Three spirits residing with one another, obtaining personalities and morals that fall on extreme opposite ends of the spectrum (assuming a spectrum could have 3 ends).

Spirit "Uno" is a settler attempting to hide her vibrant yet delicate light under a sheer curtain. She is passive-aggressive, easily satisfied, allows manipulation, sacrifices self for others as she attempts to avoid disgruntled customers and pacify those that are less than satisfied with life in general. Uno could be happy, in a sincere way, with many of the simple things that life has to offer. But when dealing primarily with other spirits whose lights are dimmed by selfishness and stubbornness, she cannot experience joy. See, those who have selfless demeanors do not often flourish with those who demonstrate being enamored with themselves. Maybe Uno is a late-bloomer, too. It is very possible that she has been jaded the majority of her life by mis-guidance. Recently, though, she realized that life does not have to be this way- that just maybe she is worthy of the joy that God intends for her. What is she willing to do for it?

Spirit "Dos" is a settler, also. His light is strong, but is locked in by an iron clad capsule. He spends his life trying to progress and get ahead of the next big guy, much like running in place on a treadmill. For many reasons aside from his slow progress, beginning in the early days of his life, he experiences an enormous sense of inferiority. Though many choose to deal with this by trying to prove wrong the suppressors of their past by doing, he chooses to do so by talk and degradation. In doing so, Dos also becomes a suppressor. It seems to the outsider that this is a counter-productive process and is probably not at all what Dos had in mind. Poor Dos. His strong, domineering, combative personality inhibits him from experiencing the love and joy that God intended on giving him. It also causes other spirits to become reluctant around him, not wanting to provide the love and joyful experiences that may otherwise come naturally. He is the counterpart of Uno, the selfless spirit.

Spirit Tres is concerned, yet progressive. Her light is bright, but it bounces all over the place, not sure where she belongs amidst Uno and Dos. She has no problem finding self motivation and has no reserve about being independent. She attempts to maintain the same selflessness that Uno demonstrates, though it doesn't shine all the time. She struggles as she watches Uno and Dos try to function as a team, because again, selfless and selfish cannot reside together. However, she can do nothing. She can do nothing but watch the two previous spirits perform an ugly, twisted dance that seems to work for them.

The matured spirits choose to squander their lights, each beautiful and vibrant in their own way. Tres cannot bear to witness such misery, though her attempts to fix the situation are in vain. To the best of her efforts, all she can do is make sure she doesn't repeat the same pattern, and keep her thoughts to herself.

These three spirits that which God has created must all be responsible for their own growth. The journey is not easy.
