The Concept of Evil

Hmmm 🤔 what will I write about today?

I guess I’ll give the word evil a shot. That’s always a good writing exercise.

Some good and powerful philosophers saw something unusual and came up with the concept of evil.

Let’s ponder on this thought because wise people often study.

And it could turn out to be a good topic.

When we think we have it all figured out, in reality some things just don’t make sense.

Look deep into a person’s eyes and we might even see their soul.

Trying, trying and trying again to fix a broken clock ticking in the other direction to be able to tell time.

And when time is up, the concept of the word evil is still there, but we have to keep going.

We’re problem solvers.

We have to keep trying, we have to be the goad that keeps things in motion because some people will not make it.

A mother crying because unstable men killed her only son.

Your best friend describing how it felt having sex with your wife after the wedding, he played the role very well as the best man.

A faithful priest molesting little children and sending pictures of his body parts to a nun.

Was he possessed or just nasty? The concept of evil.

Where is that inner voice coming from?

To some this piece may seem Rated R but I’ve picked my words with good intentions so let’s continue.

A good person can be left for dead, hurt, tortured and left to masturbate, drowning in sexual fantasies and frustrations only to become numb in repentance.

Why?

What does this all mean?

Men coming to arms to stop over four hundred years of slavery, rape and brutality.

Young boys being killed by grown men over drugs that alter the mind.

People smoking and drinking themselves to a higher state of numbness while making the lives of others worse than they were before.

Multiple people all in a room having sex in front of a camera, it feels so real.

It’s stimulating. What a stimulating thought. They’re having a good time exercising with sex.

The ups and downs while sweating, let’s watch and play with dopamine.

Why marry only to be cheated on and tortured with a divorce?

Put the gun down, trust me it will get better.

Life is a risk worth taking so let’s keep going.

We all could use some motivation.

Why give in? Why give up on redemption?

So let’s keep going deeper with this topic.

Some masters literally beat their slaves, had sex with them at their own leisure, then left them for dead. Freed them with nothing… Nothing.

Kept them dumb for a reason and gave them their own altered Bible so they wouldn’t rebel.

People owned by people, take it in, I know you want to feel good but I have to get you to understand this concept. This idea. The concept of evil.

It’s a wild topic. 

It’s like watching the very person you love, the person you depend on getting tortured right in front of you.

It’s like going out to sea and enlisting in the military only to come home and forgotten.

Left in a room with no legs while the world goes on without you.

It’s a mind breaker. It’s evil and it won’t go away.

It’s like knowing everything and having to pretend like you don’t even exist because the knowledge that you have could bring some very powerful people down and you could possibly be killed for what you know.

This is the concept.

Some books say that there has to be balance, is that why good boy Henry is being watched?

Is that why good boy Henry is hated so much?

He’s the talk of the town, the apple in his mother’s eye.

Is the development of the conscience mind the true nature of our mental state?

I mean how wealthy can we get?

How good or evil can we become?

If there is some divine force does it reward those with good intentions?

Is a hero a concept of literature that comes in and saves the day?

I mean how many heroic stories are there?

Let’s keep pondering on this topic.

One writer said that good men dream of the things that evil men do.

Is this true? Does evil exist?

Let’s talk about this very dark topic, we’re at the funeral of a slain man, it’s worth a thought.

Evil…

Let’s open the mind a bit. It gets wild in a prison cell so tell the story spread it out to the masses to stimulate their thoughts a bit. They have to know about this concept. It will wake them up so they won’t be afraid because it never sleeps.

People hiding, burned in ovens, tortured, whipped, raped, slaughtered and screaming for help.

Innocent children never getting a chance at life.

Black bodies hanging from trees in broad daylight.

This concept is what keeps a lot of good people awake at night.

This concept has bothered me my entire life.

I too get paranoid, checking myself. Drowning in my own sins. My own dysfunctions. Trying to keep a stable mind while drowning in a mess. 

I, like many, fight with this concept every night questioning my own behavior and choices.

This concept has literally driven me to go above and beyond the call of duty.

This concept has kept me on guard.

I can’t let this concept defeat me.

It’s like a virus that spreads with no cure in sight.

Okay,

Congratulations, we made it out alive to see another day.

I feel better now.

The storm is over for now but the concept has made us stronger. We’ll be better prepared next time.

I promise.

Stay awake on watch because the concept never sleeps. It’s spontaneous, it’s everywhere, we all fight with it.
