I was born in a tiny village in the Hauts Plateaux of South Kivu in the Congo. When I think of the journey that had made me who I'm today, it's a sum of good and evil. I've been hopeful and hopeless at times. I've seen good and evil. That is what it seems to me, I would say. I will get to share more soon. Many things that happened to me that pertained to being harmful were more of the attitude I had vis a vis the good and evil.
"Good" and "Bad" are categories we impose on the world.
The way things are, the way things look, can sometimes be our judgments and interpretations of those things. We sometimes impose things on ourselves and the world.
The rain in Seattle may be bad for us and suitable for the citrus crop. A canceled flight may wreck our schedule and bring us face to face with our future spouse in the airport waiting area. When a giant bird eats a beautiful little fish, it's neither good nor bad. Or it's good for the bird and bad for the fish. A forest fire may seem to destroy an ecosystem in the short term yet renew it with vigor long-term.
Nature makes no judgment; we humans do.
While our willingness to distinguish good and evil may be one of our most enhancing attributes, it is essential to realize that “good” and “bad” are categories we impose on the world. They are not for the world itself.
