[little jeremiah]

“Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains ... an unuprooted small corner of evil. Since then I have come to understand the truth of all the religions of the world: They struggle with the evil inside a human being (inside every human being). It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956

“And even in the best of all hearts, there remains ... an unuprooted small corner of evil.”

I’ll take WHAT IS YOUR EVIL?, Aleks for $0.02. I’m betting it all (and I do quote Aleks often but disagree with him on this.)

Lots of never thought of EVIL individuals on this planet...and even more who never spoke of EVIL...and more who never acted on those thoughts and words of EVIL (especially the little ones...the babies).

It’s OK to act UNCIVILIZED toward the UNCIVIL. The SUPEREVIL? THEY must be ELIMINATED by US, the non-evil. it’s a tough job, yet somebody has to do it. Those who do not learn from history...
