  • Read my comments from the bottom up, if you want it to make (more) sense. :-)

  • you talk too much. put me off reading any of your comments.

  • Rollo May - Join the choir invisible.

    "Oh, may I join the choir invisible, Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better for their presence: Live In pulses stirred to generosity, In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn For miserable aims that end with self, In thoughts sublime that pierce the night like stars."

    - Facing Evil by Harry Wilmer, pub 1988.

  • Aldous Huxley's ultimate advice, 'one stupid little sentence:' "Try to be a little kinder."

    Jeffrey Burton Russell - on the reality of evil - personal and absolute; seen most clearly in Nazi Germany, and in war.

    - Facing Evil by Harry Wilmer, pub 1988.

  • Philip Paul Hallie -

    "The empirical, skeptical authority for cruelty is the victim and the victim alone."

    "It's still always painful to die, at least for a little while."

    Suggestions for deliverance from evil;

    "Become interested in those who care as much for the lives of others as for their own. I'm from Chicago. It is almost impossible to believe that there are such people; those who love the lives of others as much as their own. Try to fall in love, so to speak, with those lovers."

  • Or study the Facing Evil conference, 1987. Book by Harry Wilmer. Film by Bill Moyers, on dvd.

    Philip Paul Hallie - On Cruelty:

    Don't be distracted by ethics; is it good or evil. Worry about cruelty.

    "Cruelty is something that 's got authorities. There are some people who really know when it's happening, and they're the authorities. Cruelty has authority and that authority is its victims."

    "The sword does not feel the wound. The flesh on which that sword strikes does.

  • Kagan and Ferguson - Pick pockets? Steal? Rape? Murder? No? Glad to hear it.

    Ethics and Morality are one - as for the individual so for states. War, torture and murder ARE cruel and inhumane by persons, or by states.

    "To think, I am beyond good and evil and so I can behave this way no matter what happens to other people - you're a dangerous person. You are a sociopath." - Joseph Campbell. So for states.

    Not clear? See ANY major religion for details.
