Perception
I see no evil, I speak no evil, and perhaps I am not so evil, so why do people think I am evil. What is the purpose of even being evil? Most people now assume evil is what is opposite to them. They never really stop to think if their evil is truly good in other people’s minds. Although this sounds all confusing the main word to keep track of here is perception.
We go through life each and everyday perceiving one event from the next and thinking and analyzing… or I hope we all do otherwise we are no better than the piles of rocks all in a cluttered mass at the beach. But in the words of Rick James: “cocaine is a hell of a drug”. Which you might be wondering why I said that, but if you look at it then you will see what I am talking about. Perception.
Rick James is cheering on the white powdered drug while most of the population would condemn it. Does that make him evil for doing it? I would personally say no, and call it more like retarded. But may bible-totting violence hating Christians (and other drug haters) would claim it is the work of the devil... or evil.
Look at the war in Iraq. According to the United States’ propaganda, Iraq was an evil country. But who exactly is evil in that two-way conflict. What exactly did Saddam Hussein do to ask for a second war? He probably left the toilet seat up, after all Bush is a pretty anal person for that shit.
Perhaps we should think even more on this. What is another word that could describe evil? Racism. Now the KKK instantly say that if you are black then you should be exported back to the third world countries and not steal the white man’s job. Or some bullshit likes that. How exactly is that liberal goodness?
Everyone sees the world through a different set of eyes, ideals and morals. What is exactly evil? Well there are universal evils, but still some could be argued for as not being evil and some are just downright plain you should be shot in the head kind of evil.
I guess it is all perceptional and before we all start pointing the finger saying it is evil we should really stop to thing about all the sides and make an informed decision about if it is evil or not.
