Evil...

I have hurt people. I have made bad choices.

I live in a world where there are car bombs, mass shootings, abductions, genocide, war.

Surely evil is real.

And surely it creeps in, something we are all susceptible to...

What starts out small and seemingly harmless is like a wound open to infection.

I think that half the battle is being aware. That evil does indeed exist...
...and then making a choice not to contribute to its power, not to expand its reach, and to be present for those who experience it.
