There is good in all of us

Great, thanks for commenting! I really appreciate your opinions!

I agree that society and our personal lives need tools to protect ourselves. We use tons of different ways to protect ourselves such as, labeling others, putting faith into powers stronger than ourselves, physical barriers, and other tools. I agree that there are people who do not fit within these norms. I agree that they need evil to protect their beliefs and ways of life. And this isn't a swift change. We have always used these tool in conjunction with evil or creating another group of people to make more people move towards these tools.

But we have the power to change our society, help change other's and to be more encompassing of everyone. I believe there is a solution, but I don't feel that labeling others is the ultimate goal. We should just perhaps understand that there isn't such thing as pure evil or people who spontaneously turn evil. There are mental disabilities, there are cultures that tell people different things, there are parents who are misinformed. We should address these issues instead of moving further away from these issues and pretending that they are no longer affecting us.
