There are different levels of evil. I'd have to say, a recent news story about pedophiles in Philippines, raping, torturing and killing children, then selling the videos of them online has to be down there with one of the worst.
A truly evil person has no feelings for other human beings. They are stone cold. They can actually laugh and joke about it with other pedophiles afterwards.
Maybe it is important now and then to realise the depths of human sin. Not for the rest of us to feel superior, but to be wary of the presence of Satan in our midst.
And to just pray. Pray that we are not led into temptation but delivered from evil . Amen.
My heart goes out to these innocent children. What poverty can do to our decision making. I feel sorry for the parents of course. Easy to blame them but none of us have ever been in their shoes.

Pray, yes; be wary, yes. But also do something about it. There is a lot of human oppression and misery, in terms of women and children being in the position of slaves. There is a thriving market in the trafficking of human beings. It occurs all around us, but we do not see it. Some Catholic groups, including religious orders, are involved in trying to stop it and help the victims. But it is like going against a major crime organization, because that's what it is. You can help by supporting the people and facilities that exist to help women and children escape the horrors they are experiencing.

If anyone is suffering in the world it is the victims of human trafficking. I'd like to help if I could but it wont be donating money as I am not flush with it, at present.

i did a double-take.......

Not for the rest of us to feel superior

Why would that even enter ANYONE'S mind?

Superior?

It's not about "us".

Is it?

*Sincerely baffled smilie will be inserted here after i find one that expresses the baffling double-take i did....*

in the meantime....

it seems like you've been taking offence a lot recently Brinny.
I'm not going to explain it, if you dont get it.
This is not some kind of competition to see who is the most compassionate person on CF.
And its not about you either. I don't wear badges of compassion on my signature to boost my profile.

That was my reaction to your post.

I'm not offended.

Just did a double take.

An emphatic one.

Of COURSE it's not about me.

Nor you either.

It's about the horrendous evil that takes place and continues growing worldwide, while swallowing up and destroying innocents in loathesome-ly twisted and onerous ways.

it's despicable.

Saw some great birds yesterday. I'd be seeing some more this morning, but I'm waiting for a plumber to put in our new water heater.

My wife keeps calling me "the Messiah" recently. No wonder I have a God complex!

Wow, the closest I get from my wife is "don't make me introduce you to your maker." *shivers*

 

[Godlovesmetwo]

Eternal Torture. What in the Hell is the point of it? As an example to others to frighten the wits out of them? Like the idea behind Life Behind Bars? To protect the community?
Yeah Ok character like Hitler, Stalin and Mao may deserve it, but even then I don't see the point. So those in Heaven can laugh at them?

I must be one of the Seven Dwarfs, as my wife keeps calling me "Dopey". She can't make up her mind, since last week she said I was "Grumpy".

A feeling of superiority is a form of vanity. It causes or contributes to much of the evil and suffering in the world. We see it in many religions, including Christian faiths. We see it in nationalism, racism, and prejudice in general. I have to fully agree with BCP on this. It is nothing to joke about or dismiss.

My dog is a concern right now. He refuses to go walk with my partner. I can take him for a walk but he refuses to chase the ball in the park anymore. We notice him walking very slowly now and hesitating when he has to go up a step. I touched different parts of his body but he didn't flinch. so there doesn't seem to be an acute tender spot. He is 8 going on 9 years old. A corgi (floppy eared)

Arthritis?

 

[Godlovesmetwo]

Arthritis?

yeah I heard that corgis get it early. Do you know?
I'm guessing it might be early onset of arthritis too
thanks

I know some breeds are more susceptible to it. You might want to check with a vet but I've heard there are some good over the counter meds for them now.

I hesitate to use over the counter meds that haven't been advised by a vet. We almost went to a vet today but the consultation alone is 100 bucks. Then xrays and so on make it a real slug. Thanks for your concern anyway Tigger.

 

[Godlovesmetwo]

Dog back to normal. No visit to vet. Just came good this morning.
Weather back to normal. Gorgeous cool winds in the afternoon are back! Hooray!
I was getting sick of the humidity.

I am totally bereft today. No idea (s)............
