good-and-evil

In each of us, two natures are at war _ the good and the evil. All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer. But in our own hands lies the power to choose _ what we want most to be we are.

With Stefan, the line between good and evil, right and wrong, becomes increasingly blurred.

It may not be nice to be good, 6655321. It may be horrible to be good. And when I say that to you I realize how self-contradictory that sounds. I know I shall have many sleepless nights about this. What does God want? Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness? Is a man who chooses the bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him?

It may be necessary temporarily to accept a lesser evil, but one must never label a necessary evil as good.

People who live in the luxury of a steady paycheck and food in their bellies get too caught up in right and wrong, moral and immoral, good and bad, heroes and villains, even truth and lies. As if we're all either one or the other. As if we all have a choice. As if I have a choice. But I don't believe in choices. I believe in survival.

And I must believe that man has the power to know the right, to choose between good and evil and know that his choice has made a difference...

Some people are good only because they are afraid of punishment. These justify why we need government

An eye for an eye, I say. If someone hits you you hit back, do you not? Why then should not the State, very severely hit by you brutal hooligans, not hit back also? But the new view is to say no. The new view is that we turn the bad into the good. All of which seems to me grossly unjust.

Nature evaluates a character on the basis of its merits, not demerits.

No book dropped from "up there". If it did, you say, then something is screwed up somewhere between your neck, and the top of your head.

Truth respects no ism.

Believing or not makes no difference to the Absolute of Things That Be. But it does to you. For you shall live and die accordingly. A wise person, or a fool. Choose.

Humans as a whole are but an unwholesome hole with a sorry ass. In short, a**holes.

If we can somehow survive this world, we would've achieved something in this world.

Not God, but man-made gods kill, by self-will.

Just a child is free to wander in one's father's garden, discovering little or big things; it is left to the seeker to grow unto the Nature of the Absolute.

Cruelty and wrong are not the greatest forces in the world. There is nothing eternal in them. Only love is eternal.

It's shameful for a devil to be good.
