evil
Lynn Ruth, I see your point and the question is whether we can battle evil and eradicate it. We can't-- it's like the weeds in a garden: they will always pop up again and it makes one feel rather hopeless and powerless...so should one waste valuable energy to fight it anyway? I think yes where we can with the hope that the system (whether it is the law, morality or miracles) will protect us. But I have given up on the idea that bad eggs can rehabilitate themselves. We live in a flawed world. However, I am trying hard to raise two children and inspire my students to do the right thing in life-- if only I can influence a few, I will have done a lot...or so I hope...

My dear, If I only knew the absolute right way, the absolute good, and could define real evil I would be with you 100% I have often wondered what I would do if I had chilren to rear in this flawed, ambiguous world of ours. You have an awesome task and I do not envy you. We live in a world so full of gray and nothing we can do will refine it into black and white. There is no golden rule any more and in some ways that is good because it gives us flexibility but in others it is frightening because we know not how to prepare ourselves to forge ahead in our lives.
