I've certainly seen my fair share of both.
You can never get enough good ... you can have way too much evil ... but the fact of the matter is every life has both.
It's the experiencing the highs and lows of life "without hiding" ... that's the hard part.
We are people who prefer hiding ... scared to death someone else may discover that as much good as we've done ... we did our fair share of evil too.
It may have been as diabolical as murder, rape, hate ... or as easy as wishing for such things ... but the truth of the matter is everyone dabs in evil and some choose to take up full time residence in the dark sides of life.
It's also true everyone dabs in good things ... helping others ... spreading love ... caring for the sick ... visiting the forgotten people in Nursing Homes ... building ... creating ... glorifying.
The bigger truth is we do these things secretly ... in hiding.
The extremists don't hide ... Pope Francis and Martin Luther King, Jr. on the one hand ... Charles Manson and Jeffery Dahmer on the other ... bring the evil and the good to light ... without hiding.
I try to share both as I live my life ... not hiding the good or the bad ... just sharing as I go.
I don't think hiding is a good thing.
It's been a good life so far ... one worth sharing ... certainly full of the evil and the good though I believe it's been far more of the later.
I love now more than I love then.
I'm excited about the future.
I've already seen it all so I'm pretty confident I can cope with whatever happens.
And I won't do in hiding.
This life is too precious for that.
