EVIL IS STILL REAL

 To begin what I assume will be a long week, I thought it would be a good idea to do a short post about an important concept. People are increasingly (especially in the United States) unfamiliar with the idea of real evil and too often deny that it even exists. It is apparent that evil is becoming acknowledged less and less by the usage of phrases such as "it is the twenty first century ".

The reason for this post is not to be self-righteous or to sound as if I know it all but rather to say a word of advice during these unprecedented times.  Currently in the world we have Putin in Russia carrying out a barbaric war of choice against Ukraine, the Ayatollah in Iran maiming and killing thousands of his own citizens to quell dissent, and the regime in Venezuela still ruling with an iron fist (despite what you'll hear in the media) to list a few examples.

To deny that the examples listed above are not evil is to largely deny reality. Keep this post in mind not only as we go through this week but whenever something occurs around the world that seems horrible. Do not be confused evil really does still exist.
