"The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power." Julius Caesar

Diogenes comments on Mar 16, 2019:

Ah me, I should have payed more attention to my some-what education, but when Shakespeare's Brutus provides a reason for Caesar's assassination, his loss of reason or "remorse", that can't be compared to Trump! Trump has never had remorse or reason.

Well Mr. Twain has gotten most things right- but except for the man-made god-bit the rest is incorrect. If there was no bad in the world, how would a person know what was "good"? But I do wonder why there is an 'ocean of bad' and a 'trickle of good!'

The crusaders weren't happy with just one crusade- they had to have two more, where they murdered every one in sight. But then there is the biblical fable about Jericho, and if I remember correctly, after the "walls came tumbling down" everyone was murdered-except for the few who were complicit. The bible: such an ugly read!

Objectively, this is evil. But let's talk "subjectively"- what kinky pleasure do they get from this? I don't get it. Why would a man have any interest in little boys, or little girls?
