RE: David Rockefeller dies at 101
It's a crazy short post, because I can't think of anything nice to say about this man, and I don't want to insult him on the day he died. I was starting to think he would outlive me..
@lukewearechange said this on facebook earlier that took all the excitement out of this for me :P But he has a point ..
To be disgusted and repelled by evil, and wish to defend yourself, and the good in this world from it, is not to become it. To seek to rectify the dangerous application of misguided will is not evil in itself, but is in defense of truth. The feelings that accompany the desire for reckoning are irrelevant, in the short term. The outcome is what matters. However, wallowing in the desire for harm and death of anyone is not healthy, even physically, to the individual. To engage in this, long term, is to harm oneself, and this one person is already dead.
Well said!
I just didn't want to dwell on the negative, and I feel like I'd be mostly preaching to the choir here anyway :)
I feel a little bit lighter today. The amount of total evil in the world is lessened, somewhat. I could be mistaken, but I think I felt it, today, before I had any idea why.
