good vs bad?

[bushy]

Okay, so I am not perfect but I do pretty well.

So I started dating this girl and I don't really know why but I fell in love with her. The problem is she seems surrounded by evil. Legit evil. She has told me her whole life and I have kinda pieced it together. There are definatly holes, but.... its all good cause she told me everything. Everything she told me about her past and all the people around her seem to be completely evil.

I dont know what to do about it.

Ever since we have met. I have experienced it too. I have been surrounded by a lot of evil too. Actually our town is so fucked up i can't take it anymore.

We are leaving.

So hiow do we battle evil?

Do things good people do and surround your self with good people. And most importantly be good.

Goodness needs evil to flourish, and the reverse is also true.

Let it be. You choose how you react to your environment, this will ultimately define you.

Allow me to remind you of some wisdom from Shakespeare--"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."

"Good" and "bad" are mostly just labels we place on things to denote our approval or disapproval. labels often say more about the labeller than they do about the thing labelled.

When it comes down to it, all that exists is consciousness--everything else is a creation of this. "Good" and "bad" arbitrarily divide ideas and concepts based on our past experiences. Furthermore, we develop ideas of "self" and "other", which are just as baseless as all distinction.
