What is Evil?

      So, what is evil? People often assign it to individuals, but are people in themselves evil?     If I were to take a poll, I think the person hands down for an example would be Adolf Hitler.  But is he evil?  Now before you get red-faced, keep reading, this is not an article about glorifying Nazi Germany.     Mother Theresa comes to mind as an example of the universal icon for good.  In her life, she has done a lot of good, but she is still a human being.  I don't know a lot about her but as a fellow human being, I can guarantee she had human failings just like the rest of us.     I remember once hearing that when Adolf Hitler was a boy he wanted to be a priest. A priest.  One of the most passive occupations in the world.  So how does a little boy with ambitions to become a priest end up one of the most hated men in world history?  Did he become evil, or did he listen to evil?     Lately, I keep hearing different people call several different people evil.  But a thought has be

Quarantine 2020, March 24 / Day 12 of Quarantine / Life in Isolation

Here I account my tale of woe . . . Just kidding, all is well at my house.  Being that my seasonal job is off during winter, the quarantine life has been my daily for four and a half months previous to the Sick.  (Note: I will refer to Corona/Covid as the Sick for my own pleasure)  I consider Fri. March 13 th  the official beginning of our family's quarantine journey.  That day, or perhaps the Thursday before, my mother and I went to the store to get the essentials we didn't have.  We have a good amount of food storage to live on, but we still wanted a few fresh things while we could get them. We were given a blessing of help in being able to afford our groceries with the help of a friend who is more financially stable.  In that way, God has helped us, this is only one example.  I've been trying to pass along hope when I can on social media, keep the positive news circulating while letting the negative get buried.  I made a list of entertainment to share with peopl

Remembering January

Hi there.  I decided to think back on what happened in January for this post.  I kept wanting to post but not being very inspired on what to write. However,there have been some memorable things that happened that I will attempt to remember. Last Wednesday Evening to Friday I stayed with my Aunt Joy.  I feel we are a type of kindred spirits that can fall back into place with each other no matter how long it's been since we last saw each other. I finished three books this month, started four.  Currently reading Birthmarked by Caragh O'Brien.  It's nice to see this progress, when I feel like I've been in a little reading slump. A friend of mine has been in and out of the hospital.  I have this feeling this might be the moment I've been preparing myself for, where we may have to say our goodbyes soon.  His condition is life shortening and I have never had someone I knew as a friend die before.  I don't know how I should feel. I don't know what February has

New Year, Same Blog, New Blog

So with this new year brought my thoughts back to this blog.  As you can see, it as been a year since I last wrote here.  I tried to be a book blogger for a while, I tried to market my photography.  But I don't think that is how I roll, and so now this place is merely going to be a journal from now on.  Follow along if you wish, but know that I will let myself write here at my own pace, sporadically. Also I changed the name of this place again, because I can. Happy 2015!
