Reflecting On Good and Evil.

There’s a lot of soul-searching going on. Take a moment to read out loud – to pause and consider. The topic: Good vs. Evil.
_______________________________________________________

That there is goodness in this world is undeniable. That there is evil, capable of taking root to branch and multiply with breathtaking speed and by surprise, is equally the case.

But little candles throw great beams, and light enlightens, while sins cast long shadows.

We and our world are both evil and good. By our deeds you shall know us.

All the learning, earning and yearning can’t replace a moment’s hesitation or justice withheld in the face of evil.

Tyranny, poverty, disease – there is more than enough to battle to prove our inner worth. Though it’s useful to remind that the knowledge and power that accrues can always be turned upon ourselves.

That we possess a conscience does not assure its use. But it can be stirred by the universe and the belief that we all have a right to be here among the trees and stars.

Amid the noisy confusion people do somehow find peace inside, and dreams of a beautiful world, and a confidence (sometimes shaken but never withdrawn).

Injustice is a double-edged sword and given time justice will prevail. (In God we pray.)

I would add that when American excellence started thriving, our egos got inflated, and greed grew like a bacterial colony in agar! Ego & greed combined like matter and antimatter into an explosion of megalomania and perversion, resulting in an attack on humanity by evil itself. Luckily for us, we may have our victory. We need to stay focused on God, Righteousness, Truth & Justice, holding Everyone Accountable!

And with that, I yield. 😉 God Bless, Mike. I hope you and your family are well.

Thanks for this, Scott. Great to hear your voice again. I think in this historic moment of chaos, disruption, and uncertainty, we are all searching for stability, goodness, and grace. Human decency is its own reward. Best, Mike
