If ever there has been a basis for civilization to squabble on the merits of something, it is the debate between good and evil. Here are some inspiration thoughts on the subjects from historical figures.
Inspirational Thoughts and Quotes on Good and Evil
Good and evil are the galvanizing forces of many a civilization and nation. Standing back from conflicts and debates, it is quickly apparent that definitions used by nations are often a matter of perspective. Simply put, no nation has ever viewed itself as evil and doing its work for evil purposes. In modern terms, the potential conflict between the Unite States and Iran is just such a situation. Neither country believes they are acting in the stead of evil, but both conversely feel the other is! Alas, an interesting perspective indeed.
Good and evil, of course, also is significant factor in the personal domain. Do you live your life as a good person? You probably try, but what is good and evil as a matter of living? Here are the thoughts of significant figures through time.
1. When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil.
- Max Lerner
2. Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.
- Archbishop Desmond Tutu
3. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
- Edmund Burke
4. The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.
- Albert Einstein
5. Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow. It has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.
- Shakti Gawain
6. In heaven all the interesting people are missing.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
7. Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
- Oscar Wilde
8. The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
- Plato
While the nature of evil in national movements is perhaps a clearer issue, the nature of it in daily life is something all together a different subject. How you live your life and why, is obviously a personal choice. In this rush, rush world, however, one must guard against being tempted to cut corners. |
