Yes Zenbuddha I am aware of my evils, and I do not justify them, because I feel that even evil has a purpose. Some of us must experience the darkness so that we may find the light. ANd yes most are in denial. Yes it is very easy for most to give advice and judge others for how they live, so that they do not have to judge themselves, but live in the comparison of other peoples actions and feel above those actions. I can feel your frustration and I understand. THis is why when I phrase questions I phrase them with different perceptions of various beliefs. I like to see how people respond, and it is always the majority of black and white answers. But there has been those few who truly get it and that makes the experience worth while. I wish you well

If you do not see evil around then you are the evil.
To know what evil is and educating those who do not realize the agony in it is the right thing to do.
Judging others and Educating others are two different things. When you judge you try to control. But, when you educate you let go of the control.
Some people like to meditate on it. Some like to take action to make this place a better one for all our near and dear ones.

it is always easier to critizie others. And besides we always try to look as if we are perfect if we admit to our own evils then we would see what is wrong with ourselves.
How many people want to do that???? We all know there is something with us it is just better to point out some one elses mistakes, that is what makes us feel better. Its wrong but it is the truth. We hurt poeple so we can be happy.

yes every person has the potential, I do and I admit it, but most are so arrogant that they believe to be the best and they r free of evil, or they convince them selves that there is no God so there is no evil..so they see everything as OK and no problem..

Its been said that we tend to point out faults in others that we have ourselves.
I can admit that I have let evil into my life. Not as much anymore, I pray for God to keep me safe

Matt 7:3
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
(from New International Version)
We all do it, but that doesn't make it right. We are surely to consider our own faults, but that does not prohibit us from calling out evil when we see it.

I do see the evil in myself! And I am fine with it. I enjoy a good balance of good and evil. It makes my life far more "life like".

Good question, yes, I admit to being on the giving end at times. I don't want to, but I'm only human and have faults

If someone chooses to always look for evil in themselves and others that is all they will ever see .
