In this blog, I will attempt to bring to your attention evil in the world. You might ask "What is evil? Isn't evil in the eye of the beholder? Isn't evil just what you see from your point of view? Isn't the entire purpose of this blog bogus? Won't it just reflect one viewpoint over another?"
I could declare myself ruler of the world and say that whatever pleases me, no matter how depraved you might see it to be, is good and if it doesn't please me, not matter how noble you view it to be, it is evil.
I will not take that tact. I will give you ground rules by which you can understand how I will look for evil to shine light upon. You can tell evil by it's desire for power over you, for its use of secrecy, for its instillation of fear and its use of violence, for its use of force and bribery, for its corruption of the goals and dignity of good people, for its pitting of one good person against another.
Why shine light on evil? It is because I believe that the one thing evil most fears is light. It is being out in the open where people of good will, who vastly outnumber those committed to evil, will be disgusted. If something is good, it needs no secrecy in the long term, and little in the short term. Evil thrives on secrecy.
If you happen upon this blog and have any ideas, any evils that need exposed, please comment!
So, let the light shine!
