As we look at this world, it seems that evil is everywhere. People are stealing, killing, and fighting. The greed has gotten so bad that the world's economy is suffering. Furthermore, can a person find an honest business anymore?? How many parts are installed that aren't needed?? How many medical procedures aren't necessary?? Is it right to get the most money you can from a sick person?? Isn't greed the real reason for pollution???
We all have the power to CHOOSE what we deem important in this world. Why do so many place money and power over people? Can so many people really be blind to the real truth??
OK!OK! Let's take a few steps back and take another look. First, let me say that evil does get more attention than goodness. How many good news stories are there? How many movies are about good things. Seems no one really wants to hear about the good stuff. Maybe, some feel better about themselves knowing that there are worse people out there.
I'm willing to bet that if every good deed was reported that there would be little time to report the bad. Everyday, people perform kindness. Hey, if you have a really good cause, I've seen people give until it hurts to support them. Yes, good people seldom get the credit due for their kindness.
So why are there so many evil people out there?? Life is about learning and growing as people. We learn through the parameters of our lives and the people we interact with. In short, this is one, giant, multilevel classroom we have here. If everyone knew it all, we would have nothing to do but stare at each other. For lessons to exist, there must be people who do not understand. People who do not realize the consequences of evil for themselves and others. For that reason, there will always be evil in this world until everyone sees and understands.
If there are so many evil students, you can bet there are as many wonderful teachers in this world. Can you remember any wonderful souls who taught you great lessons in life?? There are strong, wonderful souls who will choose to go through great adversity to teach, to show,so many will understand.
People can be hurt by evil. Not everyone is but people have. Sometimes, people are hurt in order that they will understand evil. Everything one does in life will come back to them in time. This is not to punish but to show the person choosing evil just what it is. Can one ever be evil once they fully understand?? For those of us who are not hurt by evil but must watch it, perhaps it is a reminder of what the right choices really are.
Have you ever tried to help someone and no matter what you did, you couldn't? You will not be able to stop the adversity of another if it is that which teaches and brings knowledge with understanding. Never let this bother you for by trying to help, you demonstrate the wonderful goodness in you! Let's strive to show those who are evil just what they are really doing, even if it takes some adversity for ourselves. After all, we are all God's children. We are all in this together. We change the world for the better just by being here!! So tell me what you think!!

This is all about economies. It is about making money, becoming wealthier than the neighbour and then not to forget POWER!!!! Man's desires, greed and jealousy have no limits. These elements lead man to the evils in society. Each of us has one or more of these innate qualities that few of us are able to control. We cannot for sure say that anyone is totally a saint and devoid of any of these evils. The good men are those who have the lesser of these evil qualities.

Shobhan Good men do have lesser of these qualities, but everything is a choice. I could choose to help people instead of hurting anyone who stands in the way of money and power. Maybe it's the difference from being selfless or selfish. Maybe these people do not yet understand what they are really doing. Life is about learning and teaching others through our choices. I have to question those choices that hurt people for money and power when 100 years it will be gone from your hands. It's all about our choices!! Thanks for the comments!!

Hi Bird ..
This is just to share and for your info only ..
In Hinduism it is stated that we are going tru the period of "Kaliyuga" meaning evil is at its prevalence
during this period, human will be "facinated" by the rewards received from their "evil" activity
Now, the materialistic need dominates the humankind... The inner value is lost completely... it is now that Mr Hyde is stronger than Dr Jekyll !!
it is said that " the right hand will deceive the left and the left the right "
So during this period, it is said that due to the "kali age" and the standard of human living which is "immoral" ... for those people who are devoted to "good" and "kindness" will get extra reward or "bonus" from god (something like that).. so we have to do good deeds now more than ever before..
Well .. this is the journey towards end of world ... i wonder if we can "turn back" or reverse as it is a long "queue" behind us ...
cheers

I don't see how you can say that there is more evil per person than at any given time in history. Wisdom is the only thing that can cure evil. Now as far as doing good deeds, one learns to do this through consequences of actions. Everything you do in life comes back to you in time. Given enough time which might be eternity for some, we learn to love unconditionally. It is what we all want back. Thanks for stopping by with your comments!!

The key word is SEEMS!! I must confess that perhaps I was telling you what you wanted to hear to get you to read more. I ask for a thousand pardons from you. There are lots of bad choices being made. The good choices no one hears about. It is up to us good people to teach and point the way to those who choose evil. Circumstances can make evil appear to be the answer to some but that is only because they do not Understand what it really is. Everyday the world is getting smarter. Knowledge solves all problems. The world is really getting better. Evil has been going on since the beginning of time. Communications are so good today that we hear it all. Thanks for all your comments!!

Even the early recorded history attests to the fact the evil people has already been a societal menace. There were thiefs and murderers even in the ancient past. It only goes to show that the choice of whether to do good or bad is inherent in man and some choose to be good and others choose to do otherwise. Poverty, they say, is one factor why people are driven to do bad things, but there are many poor people who are living a pricipled life and on the other hand evil is also prevalent amongst the rich. This is something we have to face everyday.
cheers!

God has made his world like that. Where there is good there is bad.This is all the creation of god and he is the one who balances it.

God has given us the freedom to choose between evil and good. But how sad it is because many people choose to do evil things. We can't control them, but if these people will humble themselves before God they'll recieve a great blessings. THese people are doing eveil things because they are lack of knowledge from God. THey are ruining their lives by doing evil things. As it is written in the Bible from the book of Osea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

You are right! It is about knowledge. God will send these wayward children consequences to teach them just what evil is. It's too bad some have to learn the hard way. People can be stubborn and have to live the consequences to really learn. Thanks for your comments!!
