The fires are all under control. They think most of them are the result of arson. The fires were driving distance apart, all started behind buildings away from view, and all on the same day. Very disturbing. They found one person dead in a homeless encampment. How sad. On so many levels. I don’t even know where to start. I cannot imagine someone doing this on purpose. I don’t understand evil.
Was it sick or evil? The older I get, the less likely I am to buy into the “sick” excuses anymore. I think some people are just evil. I don’t know what we do with evil people, but I think they are out there. Is it self-created or situational? Hard to say. The result is evil.
I have known evil people. I am dealing with an evil person right now, and it challenges me to the core. It’s challenging for me to feel safe and connected to my power. I struggle. This person knows exactly how to fuck with my sense of decency, and that’s where I find myself lost. Lost and tired of it all. It’s been more than five years now. At least 100 altercations. 100 too many.
I feel like the young Marine in the film Tribes. They did everything they could to break his spirit. And he held true to himself.

Time to pull up my hero pants and be even stronger than I know I can be.

Remember that toy back in the day….no matter how hard you punched it, it popped back up? Think of yourself as that toy and keep on coming back up. The evil one is trying to break your spirit…..don’t let “em see you sweat!”
They never see me sweat. But when they see my anger, it scares the living shit out of them.
I know Joe has great ideas. Sadly, there are always those who reject everything good and decent. Shine the light on them and they revel finding new depths of cruelty and depravity. Some you can only do your best to ignore. Some you have to battle, for yourself and others. Hang in there, Poolie, only a little longer
Yes, there are those.
Courage and compassion, Paula — you can do it.
Working on it!
well, that person has met his/her match in you… and therein lies the challenge.. for them and for you, right? my money’s on you.
You sweetie pie!
I keep going back to what my mother used to say, when asked her opinion about the death sentence: “There are some people who are just too evil to live.” I’m inclined to believe she was right. To those who are not evil, it makes no sense; it is beyond our ability to understand. We can comprehend stupidity, or illness, or fear, or even a lust for power. Evil is entirely different.
It is so damaging. Causes so much pain.
