It seems like evil is alive and well more than ever now, yet throughout my life there have been evil, deadly, inhumane events. I was a child during the Vietnam War and the inhumane responses to the Civil Rights Movement. Later there were the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There have been brutal massacres in The Congo, Nigeria, Syria, now Ukraine and throughout the world. Further we've seen evidence of ethnic cleansing in Asia and terrorist acts everywhere in the world including at our own Capitol seemingly perpetrated by the sitting President at the time, Donald Trump, and his team of self-serving, inhumane propagandist do-nothing-good individuals.
What can we do in the face of evil like this?
Work against evil in yourself
The first step is to make sure that you are not working for evil in any way. Vote for good people, work for good people and endeavor for betterment in all that you do. We can't turn a blind eye toward evil, but instead we must speak up and act against the evil in our midst. To work against evil takes courage, and for some this is a great feat since some live amongst more evil and harm than others.
Work for the common good
The more we can work for the common good and lift the lives of all people, the better we'll all be. Find ways to raise the common good in anyway that you can. Seek opportunities to do that.
Everyday do something that raises the common good. Lots of small acts add up to a big wave of betterment.
We can do this.
