Evil

Mayhap too broad a topic.

I'll try to be succinct.

It wends its way through life, often with a still, quiet voice. Sometimes with a shout, it tears open and apart.

Or it slowly degrades, like steady corrosive acid.

Perhaps the most subtle is the compromising of principles.

Maybe it surfaces as 'let the other guy do it'.

Or it's manifested as 'I'll do it', then nothing gets done.

I have constantly talked of the battle between good and evil here and elsewhere, particularly face to face with, well, both good and evil people.

Yes, it does take the form of spiritual fighting re possession and exorcism. Dynamic and brash, such events rise and wiggle their ugly heads.

I cannot tell the details, but I know this exists. It is your choice to believe such things or not or to find another explanation for them.

I think evil is most often just quiet, bland and an every day nuisance.

It is a whimper, not a bang.

Like the machinations of the collectivists (surely evil), it's a slow steady decline leading to defeat and fall.

Meeting such evil is just as hohum. It's as simple as walking past it on the street and nodding.

Meeting it is essential to defeating it. Nip it in the bud, for such grows and can become seemingly insurmountable.

Ignore the leak in the roof while it's a trickle and one day the ceiling caves in.

Yes, the ceiling can be fixed, if again done in time.

But, there comes a time when corrosion damages so thoroughly that the house can be condemned.

Then, a new house could be built, but if so, learn from the past so that in building, the future is secured.

This is not the first time I've spoken of evil, as I said. This whole blog comes down to that very battle between good and evil.

It is far from the last time I will speak of it.
