1(800) SUICIDEThe most important parable you could ever memorize for -- not understanding -- but dealing with, evil people.
A young woman was walking down the street, pulling her jacket tighter about herself as protection against the snow.
Suddenly she saw a snake. She was so startled she stopped. He looked weak, and half frozen. He spoke to her.
"If you give me a lift in your coat, it will get me much warmer, and I won't perish out here in the snow."
The woman pulled her coat even tighter about herself .
"But if I do that, you will bite me, and I will die."
"Why would I do that?" asked the snake. "If I bit you, and you died, then we would both die, because I cannot take the cold."
The woman was repulsed, but she felt she couldn't argue with the logic. And besides, she felt sorry for the snake. So she lifted him up and placed him underneath her jacket, next to her throat, and continued on her way.
After she had walked a city block, she felt a sharp pain in her throat, and reached up to feel blood there. She slid to the ground and fell over, feeling her life slip away. Through blurry eyes, she saw the snake uncoil and crawl into the snow.
"But now we will both die!" said the woman. "Why did you do that?"
"I couldn't help it," said the snake, "it is my nature." And he slithered off to die in the snow.
The Evil will always work against their own best interests.
I know you don't believe this, but it's true. It's a movie affectation that The Evil are greedy and money-grubbing, that they want the best houses, the prettiest, most-handsome spouses, and all that life has to offer.
The Evil value controlling others. They will take you down at all costs. All costs. This consumes them so much that they don't pursue other, normal, interests.

ReplyDeleteHave you read Dr. M. Scott Peck's classic on evil, People of the Lie? Very insightful. Evil is always accompanied by lies/distortions. We all have that evil-sensing organ in our gut.
It is nothing short of amazing:
ReplyDeletePeople do negative things and expect to get positive results.
They do negative things and get negative results, and YET they continue to do negative things!!
The answer is apparently the people that we see as "adults" are not really adults, they just have an adult body. They do child-like actions because they are like a child!
