Is there more evil in the world than good?

[mrshooiser]

I see it everyday. People are just losing their minds with good people. Also now using violence to shut them up. The more we see this the more worse it gets. All because people are consumed in power and money. Will good ever win.

To quickly answer the question in Your last sentence - yes, good will definitely win at the Judgement Day.

Now... The common misconception about what constitutes a good person is that a good person cannot defend himself/herself. This could not be further from the truth. A good person should not be the one to initiate the attack, but once attacked, they have every right to protect their lives. That's why most good people in the US (and Switzerland, since I believe the governments of all the other countries decided to disarm their citizens in order to make it easier to herd them like cattle) are stocked up on guns and ammunition. They will not use those weapons to attack anyone, but once attacked, especially in their own homes, they will be capable of effective self-defense. Therefore, even if You are a good person, You really have no reason to fear this violence - as long as You have a gun on Yourself (and if You don't, as Leaflit likes to say, You should 😆).

Another piece of good news is that there is not more evil people than good people in this world. The evil people are simply more visible, since they waste no opportunity to show themselves, while the good people are usually silent. And that's even more good news. You see, the evil people are in a situation where they will never see it coming! That is because the good people are making use of at least one of the eight blessings:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 5:3-10.

The one I'm thinking about is the one about "the meek". Since the silence in which the good people suffer the current state of the world makes them look meek, they will one day inherit the Earth - and no one will be any wiser to that up until it happens! To be honest, I remember that as a kid I never really understood that one, but after what I witnessed recently, including the victory of Donald Trump in the recent elections in the USA (though that one was not exactly good, it was more of the least possible evil), I believe I got to finally understand it. You know, how Trump supporters were mistreated in every single mainstream media outlet, but they still kept quiet for the most part, making it seem like they are weak and few and far between, and the true image of the US society was revealed on the election night.

Fear not, the evil will never win.

Don't really like that notion. In the same way we need continuous oxygen to breathe we need "good" to be continously created and distributed. In a way we take for granted the work plants do but we need to do the same thing for good things.

Main point is evil dosen't have the power to sustain itself independently like good can. Maybe a better way to describe evil is better to call it a void of love or good. To call something evil gives it too much credit.

At the same time People can grow and grow love.

There seems to be

What is good and what is evil? And what makes them so?

[exitseven]

no but it seems that way because they get all the press.

If I didn't believe in Jesus, I would act like a selfish animal too.
