only thinking


"There is no good or bad...

only thinking makes it so."

ha ha but Hamlet was mad! and a fictional character to boot.

There clearly is good and evil, and a choice to be made between the two.

People limit their own spiritual growth, by evil actions, as can clearly be seen on the world stage......

...william shakespeare...alluded to the fact that only through our conscious thinking and judgement do we categorize one thing or another as good or bad...in other words...nothing is inherently evil...it is only observation of the seer that makes it so...in the end...who decides?

...an inanimate object cannot be good or evil...there undoubtedly are good actions and evil actions...

People have a choice between good or evil and they themselves choose between actions for good or actions that are evil.....

Clearly there is much evil in a world where people are tortured, murdered and enslaved.....

people do know if an act that they are committing is evil, and it is a great tragedy that people with power do act in an evil way.

who judges this evil is, perhaps another question, however we can only decide for ourselves at the moment whether we will be a force for good or for evil in the world
