A GoodReads quote on TRUTH

This quote is about justice to me.  Truth shall break free and woe to you who hide behind those in current power thinking your evil deeds will never come to light.  Some blindly follow people in power, thinking that some things are small evil.  But dear readers, there is NO such thing as a little evil.  Evil is Evil.  There is nothing ever small about it.

This is not to say that Jefferson was evil.  He had slaves, all inherited if memory serves - he manumitted some of them, at different times in his life.  He is of course, best known for writing the Declaration of Independence.  It is a most inspiring piece of work.

Quite as inspiring as Lincoln's Gettysburg address.

Truth crushed to earth shall rise again. 

William Cullen Bryant

Influential poet and newspaper editor William Cullen Bryant (born November 3, 1794) had his first poem in print at age 13—it was an attack of Thomas Jefferson's political philosophy. Later, he delivered the introduction for Abraham Lincoln at the famed Cooper Union Speech, which secured Lincoln's nomination for presidency.

What? Wicked people dont read?

i just had to share this.  i was going over my list of wicked people - that is, the truly wicked, or the now turned wicked and i find that indeed, they have lost their time for reading.  So, think about the people you know - at least those you find wicked, and well, do they still have time for reading?

i thought about the quote, maybe it is because people who have no time to read also have no time to reflect - on their actions - and without an examination of the things we've done, well .... we would have the tendency to backslide ... and think ... it is such a little sin.  unfortunately, there is no such thing as a little sin.

remember, even what we say .... but that quote is for another day.  *smile*

you will live longer. 

Wicked people never have time for reading. 
It's one of the reasons for their wickedness.

The Face of Evil

have you ever seen the face of evil?  have you ever visualized it?
no?  well...

the face of evil exists for me. he is a person.  he carries a name. i know his face.
Evil is as evil does - and he is indeed evil.  he plants the seeds of evil in the hearts of good men, and waters and watches the evil grow.  yes.  he is a very evil person.

only a very evil person is capable of destroying or overriding the good in another.
you can call him the spawn of Satan.

he steals from people who trusted him, and calls them stupid because they trusted
he rifles through other people's belongings stealthily to get whatever he can.
he makes other people evil - he teaches them that what he does is okay,

he steals equipment from his office, and rationalizes it by saying it has been part of the cost
in today's tough economy, no office can afford to lose chairs. 

he gets things without permission from the owner.

he steals from the poor, getting rations donated for himself.
he wants to live grandly, and steals, and steals so he can achieve it.

one day he will get his comeuppance and i can only wait and see.

his name.  one day i will release his name.
