Are You Evil?

An odd question, but with a purpose.

• Do you drive around all these slow people going somewhere?
• Do you lie? A lot? All the time?
• Do you only think about your wants? Jump lines to get yours?
• Do you not care about other people (outside your family/friends)?

 Most criminals start small to see what they can get away with when young. May start by accident, when the world doesn’t end after committing a small sin. They get away with little shoplifting. They try drugs. They bully someone weaker. Steal cash. Join a gang. Steal more. Drink and more drugs. Laugh at working people. After all you are better than those people. Hang out with other criminals. Do time and then steal bigger stuff. Criminals grow worse by not being caught and challenged to face their small crimes.

We saw evil act with a shooter. Not sure how he got to whatever he was thinking. Anyone who thought it was a good idea to kill and wound strangers is experiencing evil. If you find anyone with such thoughts, say something.

We saw much more bravery, people taking risks to help others, acts of generosity and kindness to strangers. People wounded and killed trying to protect others. One lady stayed with a man obviously dying so he would not be alone. Did not even know his name. Just could not leave him. Thousands gave blood and donated water, food and money.

These are the true memories of the week. Heroes, helper, police, medical and everyday people. These are who we want to be. The good Samaritans who look out for those less fortunate.  

How do you become a hero like that? Not sure. Still working on my faults.
