Enchanting! We stand again at the precipice or is it a pinnacle? Three points came to me. The only Source of evil is good. Judgement is all ego and God isn't one. There are no innocents unless all are.
But is this thought process actually a vaccine against becoming evil? Or is it just a means of rationalizing evil deeds and *feeling* ourselves to be good people, even as we know that innocent children are dying by the thousands-- unintentionally, we console ourselves-- but unmistakably, to any outside observer, at our hands?
I know you tried to keep this free of explicit references to the Current Thing, but it reads like nothing so much as an apologia for what Israelis call "yorim u vochim".
