The Excuses For Evil

Whatever the diversity of the excuses we bring, these excuses by themselves shed light on one fact: our perception of good, evil, sacred, profane, etc. only have the qualities that have been allocated to them by our imagination and fantasy. If we persist in believing in our goodness despite the fact that we are destroying our neighbor and despite the quantity of tears and blood that flows around us, we must recognize that we are using our belief and faith like a life preserver in the sea of blood and tears that is eternal.
