RE: What is "evil"?

in #philosophy6 years ago

Those are some powerful words my friend. To do nothing is to allow evil to reine. Just because we don’t want to acknowledge it, doesn’t mean it fails to exist. Once we acknowledge it is our responsibility to do the right thing no matter what.

It is more pervasive now than ever before. Greed and lust for power are testing us all.

Thanks my friend.
One of the most difficult things for me to distinguish while growing up was when to stand up against it and when to rise above it and be indifferent. Sometimes I still struggle. There is some basic premise I should be using that would make the decision quicker but I'm not sure exactly what it is. My integrity, my self-worth. Those things together anyway. Still I am unsure.
There have been time so in my life where things have been said and I took too long to decide if I should say something against it and then later found myself regretting not standing up for myself, almost like it looked like a lack of self- respect. Actually it was me trying to think about the situation rationally, not to act on emotion, but I took too long. That shouldn't be that way and that how I know I'm missing some basic premise. When I figure out what that is I think I'll be a lot stronger and sure of myself in these situations.
Love 🐾🐾 ;-)

And you are right - it is about power. Or the feeling of lack thereof for some people. The world can be an evil place because of insecure people who crave power because of their insecurities.

You are not alone. I have sat many times trying to digest the situation wondering if it was appropriate to be say my peace. Instead, regret has come and I kick myself for the things that should have been said. Much Love my friend. ❣️🐓🐓
