EVIL: What you need to know about it

EVIL

Putting vile thoughts into motion is the act of evil. We all at one time or another have had negative and mean thoughts. It’s not uncommon at all. But the acting upon something sinister, and hate driven is not and shouldn’t be acceptable. Biblically a thought of evil is abomination (sinful thoughts), but it’s the act of evil that is a sin. It may satisfy ones self at the time, but in the long haul it will cause some sort of damage or repercussion. Evil has a bad taste that leaves pain, and bitterness.

Evil comes in many faces. Individual evil can bother, and upset a nation. But evil in a large forum can, has, and will do more than just upset a nation, or the world. It can cause catastrophically horrible damage on a global scope.

Evil amongst individuals can sometimes happen with a surprise. It may have been in the mind of the person for a while, but the act sometimes comes surprisingly to outsiders. But then by chance, we may see the signs of evil forming in a person before the act of it. That is where we must step in. It’s hard to stop evil after it’s in progress, or when it is done.

National or global evil never is spontaneous. It is planned, and executed by more than one person. There may be a leader of the evil idea, but it is not possible without supporters and followers. These people may feel they are doing the right thing. They feel death, pain, fear, and deception is a means to an end.

Look at Hitler, and Stalin. They still wear the face of evil. Even in their deaths. In a grand scale like that, it requires multitudes for that evil to happen. It takes huge numbers of people to unite in a group of negative power, and vision. Hitler and Stalin didn’t and couldn’t have done what they did without a following, and equal evil minds.

The remarkable thing about the worldly evil deeds acted upon by Hitler and Stalin is, many capable people permitted it to happen. Millions of Germans, and Russians disagreed with the actions taken. Millions were appalled by what was happening. Other nations were seeing what was going on and just watched. Conversations were spoken amongst each other. But nothing was done until millions had died, or it got too close to their countries, and homes.

No lessons seemed to have been learned by those past world evils. Look at Sudan, Rwanda, Israel, Iraq, parts of Europe, and Central America. The situations and progress were not foreseen. No psychic was needed to see the damage and end result. We’ve been there before. It’s just the same script from history with different actors, and settings.

Evil has no growth without being fed, and nurtured. It also has a growing future with no correction, or interruption. Like everything in life, cause has an effect on people around it. Evil is a weed that grows in the garden of life. Pruning, fertilizing the flowers of life and nipping weeds as they sprout will give a healthy garden. Because what allows evil to prevail, and triumph is when good acts and good people do absolutely nothing. Good is only good when it is doing well. Doing nothing about something means nothing.
