Mans cover-up

by Raechel   Aug 21, 2006


What is Evil?
Evil is people,
it is the creation of man.
our way of causing gilt and hate among ourselves.
Nature knows no Evil,
it simply follows the laws of survival,
animals doing what they must to live.
The dictionary states that; "Evil is a force or power that is believed to cause wicked or bad things to happen"
I see it as an excuse.
Our way of avoiding the reality of our actions,
the consequences of our greed.
We take lives and money for what reason?
Do we need all that we take to ensure our own survival?
No we take more.
How are we rewarded for this?
Are we ever satisfied with the knowledge that we have more than someone else?
No! Because there is always something else to desire.
We simply excuse our sins,
explaining that evil possessed us to perform these horrible acts.
The truth is that it is just us.
The ability to harm others is part of being human,
it always has been and forever will be.
The only difference between Good and Evil is whether we choose to use that ability to get what we want in life.
