Blogging Ottinger (tim)Two rules about people.
A friend of mine has two rules to describe all human behavior:
- People are stupid.
- They take the easy way out.
That is sadly true often enough. This is an example of the F Response. It’s a sad thing indeed.
Personally I think it’s probably true of the weak and the weasley, but people of faith and people raised to be strong will often take the hard way when they believe it is the right thing to do. Not that we should live in constant trouble, but when problems come up, we should be men and women and try to do something. After all, “all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.”
Though I suppose “resisting evil” could be seen as “the easy way out” for our families, churches, and governments. After all, living in an evil system is pretty difficult. Hmmm.
I have to go contemplate now.
