““It doesn’t matter,” the young man, repeated. “People don’t look at ‘the truth’ as ‘the truth’ anymore. There’s just what you believe, and how the other guy is wrong.” — A Student cited by Elizabeth Scalia
…on the potential for violence.
There’s a ‘truism’ about a critical difference between ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’. The premise is that Good knows the ‘Truth’ and is confident in it. Whereas ‘Evil’ is not confident with what it calls the ‘Truth’. I guess it has something to do with low self-esteem.
Therefore, whenever Good expresses the ‘Truth’, Evil always gets upset and lashes out at Good for saying things that contradict it.
The saying is this….
Good can tolerate the existence of Evil. But Evil cannot tolerate the existence of Good. Because Good will always be telling Evil where it is wrong and Evil cannot abide being wrong. Therefore Evil will always try to eliminate Good, in order to not be confronted with its own errors.
I think we’ve seen this played out throughout history. Dictators always kill those who criticize them.
