 Julius Gillian 2008-02-08 . chapter 1Make sure when you submit a poem its edited properlly, there are various grammatical errors I can find, like in the first stanza.
Although I always admired the man of faith and his ability to find joy in their relationship with God, I have to say that many believers have a very vague notion of the word evil. And in the extreme, place it on a Satan when in fact what we consider evil is inside ourselves. But that's only half an explanation.
In that respect, evil and good are two 'relative' terms that are only apparent when something is being viewed by a person. Hence it is fair to say that truth is relative, and what I agree that is good would otherwise be morally incorrect for you.
'But the evil out there in the world will do everything,
To stop the joy from coming to others,'
That's ironic, if everyone tries to stop everyone from taking joy away from them then their own selfish desires will inhibit the others' goals for enjoyment absolutely. So you run into a circle and not everyone ends up happy.
Being a Buddhist, I tend to see life in sequence of cause and effect rather than good and bad, right and wrong. These are misleading terms, because they differ from person to person I don't find it makes much sense placing something as evil or good, when in truth its reality is character-less.
I could elaborate more but I don't think you're interested in hearing me ramble about the problems with evil.
It was a good poem I though I think, give it to the kids for Sunday church. |
