Good or Evil

“I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one. . . . Humans are caught—in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too—in a net of good and evil. . . . There is no other story. A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well—or ill?”   East of Eden, John Steinbeck.


I guess we all have the battle within us.  The struggle to define the good, the evil, the kind, the ugly.  Some days, it's just easier than others to choose, some days its easier than other to choose the right side.
