10.2 A Little Idea on Good and Evil

.....The problem is, we are so accustomed to look for the exceptions that what we see and talk about generally tend to be anomalies. Like extreme poverty, people from some remote place, rape, war, etc.26 September, 2007 10:50"

I've heard this view - not as often as the fatalist views that claim that the world is going to hell, or the people who believe that stock indices and free software are going to change India and humanity, respectively, for ever. What we talk about are the things that remind us that the world exists, or is capable of existing, different from the lives we lead.
The goodness of wikipedia and the horrors mentioned above, are Good and Evil, respectively; though on opposite sides of the fence, they are both equally different from the lives we live, or have grown accustomed to. Identical in magnitude, opposites in polarity. A mathematical concept we understand when doing math, but takes some time to apply to life.

You like being at the origin?
