"Evil is a make-believe concept we've invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans."

A progressive young American couple was killed in an Islamic State-claimed terrorist attack last month while on a bike trip around the world.

Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, who were both in their late 20s, quit their jobs in 2017 to embark on a trip around the world. Austin, a vegan, and Geoghegan, a vegetarian, decided that they're were wasting their lives working.

"I’ve grown tired of spending the best hours of my day in front of a glowing rectangle, of coloring the best years of my life in swaths of grey and beige,” Austin wrote on his blog before he quit. “I’ve missed too many sunsets while my back was turned. Too many thunderstorms went unwatched, too many gentle breezes unnoticed.”

The couple documented their year-long journey on social media until it came to a tragic and gruesome end in Tajikistan, a country with a known terrorist presence.

“You read the papers and you’re led to believe that the world is a big, scary place," Austin wrote. “People, the narrative goes, are not to be trusted. People are bad. People are evil." “I don’t buy it," he continued. "Evil is a make-believe concept we’ve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own... By and large, humans are kind. Self-interested sometimes, myopic sometimes, but kind. Generous and wonderful and kind.”

Well, gee whiz....didn't they explain this to the five terrorists who jumped out of the car and came after them?

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Exactly. I KNOW some millenials who are as ignorant as this couple. Fortunately, so far, they are plugged in to the real world of making a living and raising a family....and have not ditched it all. Hopefully such efforts will make a deep impression on their psyche and they will get over their pie in the sky viewpoint about the mon-reality of evil.

“Just a few days after she was photographed with Nancy Pelosi grinning in approval, friends found Mehiel tied up, stabbed, tortured, and ultimately dead at the hands of El Hadji Alpha Madiou Toure, a black man arrested driving her car and using her debit card.

He said he didn’t do it.”

“Her belief in black victimization came, she said, at an early age when her mother read to her the book that would change her life: It Takes a Village, by Hillary Rodham Clinton.”

“Some liberals, most of which are ego-soaked, look for ways to support their self-perceived importance so they champion imaginary causes for that purpose,” Newburn said. “They are adult-children who feel free to construct fantasies about their greatness. Their narcissism in part functions to blind them to inconvenient realities. So to compensate, they idealize the targets of their misdirected and pathological ‘caring.’”

I wonder what the Islamic word is for “ TOTAL DUMB SH*T’S “

Wait a sec........I'll check the Koran.

This is what a $60,000 college education will get you.

Yes you have to spend that per year to be truly stupid.

There is no saving some people. 5000 years ago they would have tried to pet the nice leopard and gotten eaten.

[Maskot]

Many! And I sincerely hope they ALL take a bike trip through the Mid East very, very soon.

Millennials are the most ignorant, self absorbed people on the planet, hands down.

Just cleaning out the gene pool.

Sometimes ones highest and best use is to serve as a warning to others.

The experiment proved the hypothesis to be incorrect.

Well then, sadly, I would say that theory has been disproven.

a finer example of Darwin’s Law one could not find, than someone who trusts Muslim killers

[Okeydoker]

[McGruff]

Sounds like the process of natural selection again.

Common Sense, they had, none

“...Austin, a vegan, and Geoghegan, a vegetarian...”

What’s the difference in a “vegan” and a “vegetarian”???

The spelling???
