[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 676873, member: 17461"] I think this is a continuing conversation on the banality of evil. There is also the sweet, commonplace presence of good. The tapestry is so being so beautifully and so swiftly woven though that it is hard to know how to determine the difference, in the beginning. Do you remember when Nerfherder made the thread about customs in societies, and how it is not good to throw old customs aside that have been proven over time? This is a piece of the discussion on the banality of evil, too. Or the sweet commonness of good things. Like when Mr. Rogers said that even in the worst of times, if we look for the helpers, we will see them, too, and not just the bad things. But then, we can convince ourselves everything will be fine one day if only we believe, if only we hold faith. And the next thing we know, we realize our people were jerks and we are being shunned for saying as much. So, maybe it is true Copa and everyone that we are being shunned for the right things ~ for standing up for the right things and refusing to back down. Which could actually be a closer thing to the truth than we know. So maybe we need to stand up. I am still circling around that whole banality of evil concept. Cedar But I think that is why we are shunned, or that is why we are stalked ~ I mean, I think that could be the fascination or maybe there is no fascination. I am in the kaleidoscope again on this one. [/QUOTE]
