In one of the meetings the devil held with his demons, he gave them all a task...

- Your mission is “Mr. I’m In Control” – the devil said.

- Thanks, I always wanted to have this mission. And who’s the target? – Replied the demon.

- The target is this young man – showing a picture.

- Ok, and what are my tools? – Asking with excitement.

- Calm down, pay attention because you know how much I hate when someone fails me. – Said the devil with an angry tone – your tools are: Thoughts, friends, music, media and the extras.

This is how you will use them:

1. Thoughts – once you are in his mind it will be easy for you, tell him that he deserves freedom and his parents are old and don’t care about him, don’t allow him to understand that he needs directions or even think about God, only my favourite thought: God doesn’t care;
2. Friends – they are a good tool, because God made them have the need for friends to create a good environment, let’s use it in our favor. Make that gang that we created come close to him and convince him they are “cool” and “independent” and if he wants to be “cool” and “free” he must join them and do whatever they ask of him, because he is the “Mr. I’m In Control” ha, ha, ha, right! He’ll obey them. Hey, be careful of that Christian one, he wants to be a good friend, he is dangerous;
3. Music and Media – both were inspired by God, one to praise Him and make people feel good and the other to bring information. But let’s use them to influence him to use drugs, be violent, and feel a desire to have a premature sexual activity. Then comes the extra;

-And what are the extras?

- DON’T INTERRUPT ME! – The devil shouts nervously.

4. Extras – God made these creatures depend on love. Lets give him “love” then. Tell him that he is handsome and make him “fall in love” with that girl… hey you, come here – calling another demon – how is your prey?

Bad, I’m playing with her, it’s so funny – Answering with laughs.

He needs your help for his job; make her meet his little toy. After a while make her betray him! Ok?

Right!

And after that you deal the last strike: make him think that no one likes him, that life is worthless, and he’s better of killing himself. You both have fun, enjoy their destruction.

Ok, boss! Let’s go!

Don’t forget he is the “Mr. I’m In Control” ha, ha, ha…. Right!
