"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil," Isaiah 5:20 warns. To become evil, we have to believe that evil is good... and that good is evil.
Good and evil can sound like abstractions, but they're also behaviors. We strive for goodness by imitating virtue and we turn evil by hating virtue and imitating its opposite. Evil encourages us to despise heroism, loathe decency, and heap contempt onto any sort of principle, value, or conviction.
The message of evil is that goodness is both impotent and corrupting, while only rage fueling power is truly empowering.
That evil message is one that we now see everywhere.
A society in which everyone is a victim, and in which victimhood means perpetual rage, is an evil society.
That's becoming our society.
This is indeed an excellent example of Mr. Greenfield's writings. Very well worth your time to read ... and digest.
