Good and Evil

The Eternal Battle Between Good and Evil is basically the continual conflict between compassion and selfishness.

We all have the capacity for both, but which one dominates?

When selfishness rules, then the world becomes a more dangerous place, a far more unpleasant place to live.

But when compassion is foremost, then pain is eased and life feels like it has purpose beyond just struggling to exist.

Forget personified deities.

Forget an afterlife of heaven or hell.

Forget Karma over several lifetimes

Quite simply, the more selfish everyone is, the more hellish life becomes.

I am alive - until I'm not

 Somehow, I find this thought very comforting.

And what world do you live in?

I don't think I want to be self employed anymore.

I don't want the endless uncertainty and responsibility.

I want a job.

But I want than job to be well paid, secure, and doing something I enjoy.

Aye, there's the rub...

Lost Potential

 My world is a seething mass of stuff I've not done...
