Citizens across the world are currently being abused, and must face the fact that there are evil people intentionally trying to hurt them”
I had to read a lot of psych books and this is where I had to stop, for whatever reasons.
The reality of these people, the people of the lie, the dark siders so prevalent when society gets too out of control and too close to the edge, with too little integrity and little to no awareness of nor respect for God, like in these times now(!), they truly bothered me then and still do now.
And then learning how easily played all humans are everywhere, and in all times and places past, present and future, and how we usually never become or will let ourselves become fully aware of it … ever, I start thinking about the dark siders now and throughout history. (The Bible’s examples are very helpful for understanding the big picture, fwiw.)
I think that’s why I couldn’t go farther/further reading about the truly evil among us. Unlike everyone else I presume to know, they have no limits.
It really bothers me seeing how they enjoy taking full advantage of our push-button, built-in human gullibility to then fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time … with full knowledge and without limits … and then do so much damage for ego, fun and profit.
Fear and anger are a couple of Satan’s favorite tools, because he can possess almost anyone with them and then make us do almost anything he wants us to do.
But the volunteers don’t need to be possessed to be his tools. They use his tools to posses us!
And they like it and seek it for their own reasons, and, for whatever reasons and in so many times and places, they often will occupy positions of power over us.
And here we are! Check the view screen, Uhura: Ephesians 6:12, for real!
Shields up! Red Alert! All hands to Battle Stations!
I define evil, then, as the exercise of political power — that is, the imposition of one’s will upon others by overt or covert coercion — in order to avoid extending one’s self for the purpose of nurturing spiritual growth. Ordinary laziness is nonlove; evil is antilove.
