Are We Getting Worse As Humans?

[Bally002]

I agree with SOL and Wondercow, its always been the same. I believe we are all born evil, no matter how good a person is given the right conditions they will do evil. If you want to take a dark look at humans they do two things, Evil and less Evil.
Some religions embrace evil, some try to fight it but at the end of the day its the question of the level of evil.

I totally agree.  To bring down an evil person, I found, I had to think evil and undertake some very 'out of the ordinary' things.  

I don't consider myself evil, just that, well I found a lot of evil people smart and to get them you had to step outside the rules or guidelines.  This isn't considered fair.  Not that I did anything evil to outsiders, just the target nasty person.  I saw a lot walk but did see some get what was coming to them.  

In saying that I subtly used evil to counter evil and masked the existence of such.  Now, being in retirement years I still see it many times on an individual level but I'm a bit worn out and the past is difficult to live with.  I question my methodology.  Hence I am a bit of a loner and often suspicious.

Gone out on a limb here but my elder brother put it succinctly once in saying, "You've seen too much evil."  Yeah, I now agree and am trying to repair that but the thoughts and visions still haunt me.  I shake my head at times and my 'true love' wife says, "Stop thinking about it."  Why do people do such things to others let alone their family, children, friends and pets.

My thoughts,
