Evil is the corruption of mind

I’ve now figured out the how, the relationship between evil and ego, and why it clicked in me in 2008: we’ve all been crossed with opportunism.  It all came down to the destruction of freedom of speech, going back to the strong feelings I had in the pouncing on and firing of Don Imus — even Lou Dobbs was siding with political correctness, making “you’d think that in 2007…” about how you shouldn’t make off-color remarks these days, regardless of any fact (the remark was in the context of comedy).

Opportunism has become blatant now, as every critical subject is being politicized, polarized, where purpose and principle are made seemingly irrelevant through indoctrination in the media.  It is a reflection of the closing of one’s mind that closed circles eventually rule idealism over pragmatism.  The perversion of distorting truth for one’s ideals eventually perverts the host.  Accuracy and honest discourse are enemies to this parasite that is opportunism.

With pure corruption comes pure evil, where even sense of humor is to be altered to fit the agendas of power mongers.  The outsourcing of indoctrination is then done by those who enjoy the reaction but don’t fully understand the consequences.  Senses fall in this proliferation, as individuals that lose their sense of recognition influence those around them.  Whether likened or not, the collective ideal works to destroy liberty — the individual may “wake up,” but a collective cannot.

Idealism gradually wears away one’s perspective on reality, as distinction is ruined.  With unprincipled reputation, ego denies sight of certain personal culpability.  As public ideals limit personal choice, not only does civil liberty become selective, but the consequential effects take longer to come to the forefront.  An example of the denial of one’s own history is how the progressives of today hate what their progressive ancestors created a hundred years ago.

We see today crisis after crisis, opportunity after each.  It shouldn’t take long to see the connection between the two in any modern political system as incompetence, but with intellectual declines in societies under central government rule, they eventually become unable to keep up with the onslaught of dishonest media; the blurring of lines makes things so much worse.  Opportunism “works” to meld opportunity and crisis.


It is a total disgrace that you can’t even consider Rahm Emanuel’s words of “don’t let a good crisis go to waste” as case in point.
