Good and Evil

My feelings on religion and cosmology are admittedly a little different: I don’t believe in the Big Bang, gods, or subscribe to any religion, so you may think it odd that I write about “Good and Evil” outside any religious context. Frankly, I am not even sure “Good” actually exists; however, I am certain that “Evil” does.

Admittedly, evil requires a subjective, secondhand opinion in order to exist because it isn’t an independent force, spirit, or devil; rather, it lives in a gnawing, infinite vacuum within certain of our fellow men: Men with no inner light, imagination, or decency. Men with an inner void.

One striking example of this comes from an email in the Epstein Files, an email in which Jeffrey Epstein remarks to his brother that Donald Trump has absolutely no morals, no shame, and no scruples whatsoever. He receives an LOL reply that Trump doesn’t have so much as a single cell of decency in him. Why does it seem the number of such men on the world stage is increasing?

That’s like asking why are there so many mass shootings. Who knows? Maybe it’s the pressure of overpopulation in a world of decreasing and mis-allocated resources. Maybe it’s plastic, endocrine disruptors, or millions of chemicals in the environment. Maybe it’s the number of parents teaching children to believe in a religion based only on a blind faith that their god is real. Maybe “All of the Above” is the right answer.
