Radical Evil: A Human Perspective on Us & Them

I believe in:

Humanity

My opponents
– even Them who give themselves to do Evil –
are human beings like Us

Love

Evil typically occurs when Love for Us justifies Hate for Them

Goodness

Evil is always parasitic on Good
Large Evil requires the perversion of Great Love

Forgiveness

The giving up of Hate for Them is a precondition of Wisdom
The Evil we only see in Them is what consumes Us

Anger

Anger is a black-and-white photocopy of a full-color painting –
Highlighting contrast at the expense of nuance

Redemption

Wisdom is the discernment to nurture Good while destroying Evil
as finely as possible
ideally within each individual

Legitimacy

Any Good we destroy or Evil we nurture
transfers legitimacy from Us to Them
