Pre-Installed


I do not understand the thinking that "evil" comes from God?

For what purpose would it serve if it came pre-installed in all models?

I think we have conjured "evil" from our fears since "evil" certainly seems to be manifested through our actions and not come raging from our birth.

Fear is learned. I do not mean instinctual fear which is a reaction of our beast and our environment, I mean fear that carries on or over from that and into our everyday thinking. The fear that manifests itself in our actions of war, murder, indifference, rape, torture, thievery, etc. These things, which stem from fear, are born out of habit and out of greed, want over need.

These things cannot be born in us, not if God is Love and Peace, Forgiveness and Laughter. It seems that the tests we learn from these days are more human-born than of God, and I believe the lessons are up to us to learn or dismiss through indifference or what have you, to be good or to be bad, to give or to take, to seek vengeance or to forgive, to be kind or to be cruel.

It is simple. Do or don't. If it were complicated we'd have likely been dismissed long ago from our virulent ignorance of kinship to Home and one another, but we straggle along just enough to save ourselves from termination, eking out our wants as we imagine we've some greater purpose other than Love and Peace. What a shame, too. Imagine if we cherished Home and each other... Heaven? Heavenly? A Peaceful Paradise? I believe so... Fear ("evil") wouldn't stand a chance.

ROOT OF

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." __1 Timothy 6:10 It is MONEY, not the LOVE of it that is the issue, the true problem. Love, in and of itself, is never a problem, WANT and NEED, or better yet- the WANT and the conundrum of its very REQUIREMENT for our survival IS the problem, it's creation and our blind use of it is logically the ROOT. In other words, let's leave LOVE out of it altogether and deal with the facts instead. If money were not made by us as a requirement for our survival, we'd find ourselves in a much better position to argue of its need and our want of it. MRP Peace and Love © 2015 Mark Richard Prime

sdrawkcaB nruT (Turn Backwards)

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman
