Unfathomable Evil...

October 7, 2023, Israel, Hamas attacked Israel in the early morning hours of that day killing 1143 civilians, most of those were young people attending a music festival. Children were mutilated, women were raped and mutilated, and men, all blatantly murdered out of pure hatred. I watched a documentary and what caught my attention is during interrogations of some of the Hamas fighters, they couldn't even say it themselves exactly what they had done. They couldn't actually say "I raped her." because they knew it was horrific what they had done. It's like they had no problem doing what they had done until they had to answer for their deeds. It just boggles my mind of what human beings can and will do to other human beings.

Throughout history this evil has raised its ugly head, throughout the world, even in our own country, the United States, for the love of power, and sadly, in the "name of God". I'm not a fan of religion at all. More people have been slaughtered "in the name of God" than any other reason known to man. It's pure bullshit! It's not God's fault. Religion has a knack for clouding the mind and hardening the spirit, because religion is man made. It isn't of God by any means. It's all about control and power over others who for some reason, can't see their self-worth, and religion paying a significant role in that process. I can't bring myself to trust a belief that makes me feel unworthy of anything. I have paid the consequences of all of my actions, whether good or bad. 

But what can you do? The only thing anyone can do is to be a better person and I really don't give a shit how or why, just be a better human being. Total love in humanity will never happen but it doesn't mean love of others wouldn't have an impact. Over 8.1 billion people inhabiting this planet makes it an impossible task. We, as a species, have one of two choices. We can love each other by treating each other as we want to be treated or, we can just obliterate ourselves until one day, there are very few or none of us left. 

Religion has become more or less, a pissing contest among the elite of these various religions, claiming their literature is somehow better than others, purer than others. All of this filters down the rank and file until there is nothing left for the followers, even the ability or the will to think for oneself. With a world population of 8.1 billion people, it would be safe to say that the gene pool has become a little bit murky. No one really lives truly free, not even those who think they do. No matter who we are or where we are, we are all under someone's thumb. That's true of every living creature on this planet. Most other species just do a better job. 

The evil? I would absolutely love to see it die. The cold hard truth is that the good will die first. It always does. That's just truly fucking sad!
