Something to think about

I Came across a quote today that started me to thinking and I wanted to throw it out  there and see what you all thought

 

"I've been thinking about devils. I mean if there are devils in the world, if there are people in the world who represent evil, is it our duty to exterminate them?"

                                                                              John Cheever

                                                                              "The Five-Forty-Eight"

 

This really got me to thinking about myself and the world around me and what I was doing to fight injustice oppression and yes, evil in the world. My conclusion, not enough. So I decided that while I'm not a super hero or even a very important person, that I could contribute in small ways  to this fight (volunteering at a homeless shelter, becomiing involved in my neighborhood watch , maybe  mentoring a youth from "the wrong side of the tracks").

Notice at no time did I espuose vigilanteism or violence.

Which brings me to the point of this blog. After reading the quote, What do You perceive as evil and what if anything are You going to do about it?
