Playing with concepts: good and evil; right and wrong. Are these identical twins? Can one set of concepts interchange with the other? What is “right” or “wrong”? Isn’t this simply awareness of consequences for actions taken? What about good and evil? Isn’t it the same concept as right and wrong? It should be, but is not. Now judgment is implied; followed by condemnation and gods meddling in the fray. A right move can be repeated; a wrong one can be corrected – but when “right” becomes “good” that becomes an institution. When wrong becomes evil, there you will always find violence: witness man’s endless wars; witness the end of the world as predicted in the Bible! Witness a “God of love” becoming a heartless and cruel judge of creation. Better to let our “rights” free to move around in our minds. Better let our “wrongs” free to endure correction and not become instruments of Devil worship. |

Hello again, how are you? Wracking the old brain again I see.  I never read that particular book, and don't ascribe to 'traditional' thoughts regarding good and evil. There are bad things that happen, without any 'evil' intentions attached to them and the same for good. The Devil is a Halloween mask by which we simply attempt to cover our 'bad' intentions. But I'm just throwing darts here, as I rarely ponder such things.  |
