Re: What is the Root of all evil?

There are two ways to approach this.
Literally and/or figuratively.
If a person cannot find the inner power to control the force's of evil within himself.
The "Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior."
Then society, in most instances, will force his compliance against the force's of evil within that man for the good of the community.
So the final solution rest initially with each person. imho





In the final analysis, it's simply a matter of which wolf you listen too.

TWO WOLVESOne evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a
battle that goes on inside people.


He said, "My son, the battle is between two
"wolves" inside us all.



One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret,
greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false-

pride, superiority, and ego.



The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."



The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:


"Which wolf wins?"



The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Do the TOE Questers agree with Burke, or does it take the force of action to conquer evil?
