Sometimes it feels like a war between good and evil...

[kentuck]

Where the good is not always good and the evil is not always evil.

Where the evil sometimes appears to be good and the good sometimes appears to be evil.

Where neither is all good and neither is all evil.

But one side is more evil than it is good and one side is more good than it is evil.

In this battle for your soul, how can you tell which side is evil and which side is good?

[Walleye]

1. It's not that hard to distinguish good from evil if you're honest with yourself

[kentuck]

3. It is the "appearances" that are deceiving.

They are like wolves that dress up like sheep.

7. The thing is we all know that wolf in sheep's clothing story.But prefer not to believe it

I think most people are considerate and good hearted and they have a hard time believing how evil some people can be

2. Come on. You're a vet on this site. You know which side is good and which...

is evil. It's very clear republicans take the cake for evilness.

[kentuck]

4. That does make it more simple...

doesn't it?

8. And yet, no one seems the least bit inclined to do anything about them

9. Or that they get voted out of office.

Like it or not, GoP is not dying anytime soon (if they aren't expanding their power). All of the talk about GoP dying before 2016 is largely gone now and they have a very good chance at getting at least the House in the midterm.

10. Yeah, voting them out of office

How's that been working out for us?

5. The side that leads a mob to surround Lady Ruby's house with their pickups on January 6th ain't good

As you point out, it's not really black and white. Thinking in those terms doesn't really help solve any problems. After all, over on the other side they're thinking we're evil.

6. I can only speak for myself...

Holding true to my core beliefs, the beliefs that got me through 70 successful years. The beliefs that let me have a successful small business that serviced my clients honorably and honestly for nearly 30 years. The same beliefs that cause me to thank the food that we grow as we consume them for the gift of life. The same beliefs that allow me to be a little sad when I take the life of an insect unintentionally.

I’ve been fooled, mislead and at times in my short life I have shelved those very same beliefs for short times. I used those moments as learning times to strengthen those beliefs as I returned to the core. Everyone make mistakes.
