Evil, anyone?

We do our best to protect against evil. We do our best to punish and thus possibly deter evil. We do our best to avoid evil. We do our best to root out evil. We do our best to track the ways of evil to defend and apprehend. We do our best to preach and fight against evil in every area of life. We do our best to discourage evil in those we love. But do we know evil? What is evil, anyway?

Evil is distance. That's it. Even a nano of separation suffices. Love is other-centered (hard to get distance there).

Evil is not giving it a rest!

I love this subject!!!! I have studied this thoroughly, through personal thought research, and armature studies.
evil, evil is perception.
so is love.
but love and evil both have labels
but you cant label the boundless.
so what is love?
science tells us love is..... well.... that love doesn't truly exist as it is labled.
I have come to this conclusion.
love is not something you can label down to the letter, our minds will never allow us to truly observe our emotions.
because we feel them, in vain bias, whilst observing.
this is what I can describe as love.
the longing for an illusion. that just for the moment, even if only for a split second, that we are not alone in our minds, that we can be as one, an attraction, formed by the desperation of the self aware human conscious, that cannot be truly described by science. as those who observe it, have a conscious, but without a conscious, you cannot observe it.
the paradox is endless. such is life.
thus love is boundless and free.
evil?? evil is more unique then you may think.
when one describes evil, they describe what it is from what they have experienced and observed.
love fades many times.
stay around evil long enough and it never fades. evil breaks itself, like love, evil knows no bounds. except evil does not fade.
for me, being raised in Washington. the theory of evolution is quite accepted. it may have rubbed off on me, because, evil to me, may also be an illusion, evil..... but why is it, that if you put a human, with no consciousness of the terms, evil, or love, or good for that matter. they will still discern bad from good to a certain extent? the mind is a wonderful thing isn't it?
in the end, evil is life but life is not evil.
going back to how evil breaks itself, evil divides and conquers, so you are right, evil is distance.
love is the thing that cannot be described.

PS: most of this was what happens when I think in two different directions.
sorry if it is confusing!

Confusing? No, "Brilliant" is the word. God bless. Wonderful insights.

"Distance" seems to be quantum:can you help me with that?

I have known this to always stand true.
"
Matthew 7:15-20

New King James Version (NKJV)


You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them".

Thank you very much for the compliment, as for helping you...
What do you need help with? Describing distance? Define it, then dissect it down to the word. That's what I do when I want to understand something. Works quite well for me.
However could you reiterate what you want help with?
