The Hindus divide humanity as born good, human and evil. Humans can go either way in their lifetime. The purpose of Good and Evil is to sway them. Create imbalance. Hubby Hindu.

I agree we are getting there although each generation also feels that...... mine was world war 2 and TB, AIDS etc.

Ultimately we can only be as we are born......

Being scared supports Evil, best to trust the universe and do your bit๐Ÿ’•

Thanks for reading and commenting Carol! The "ancients" understood evil better than us "moderns"!

A wonderful analysis Baird and a scary trajectory. In therapy sessions folks are sharing that they are frightened about the global landscape, the ethical contradictions and the blatant lies being passed off as truths. The urge to go along with pointing the finger at chosen distractions is as you impart, is driven by survival fears. It's a real challenge to take the moral high ground and see the evil for what it is.

Thanks for reading and commenting Sheri. I know your eyes are wide open to the subject of evil and to morality as the only "cure". I'm glad we're on this journey together! โœŒ๏ธ

Ditto Baird...it is heartening to have allies in the world, like yourself who are awake (not woke lol) and discerning of what we are up against!

Great article. I really enjoyed it. I chuckled a bit at the end when you talk about Saints pride in their moral superiority; reminds me of my vegan self!

Thanks for reading and commenting Michelle!

Hope your book project is proceeding well without excessive stress or procrastination. When you finish that professional opus, your fans "demand" the publication of a collection of your creative writing!

Be well! โœŒ๏ธ
