How do good people properly handle/avoid "evil"?

Question

I've experienced life enough to realize that "Evil," is complex. Rarely are good and evil in their absolute true forms, it's mostly lukewarm, and mixed bag wherever you go and the people you meet. The evil is mostly complex, and subtle and light, meaning, jealousy, judgements, competition, materialism, not caring about the next guy, apathy, greed, those types of evil, rather than gung-ho machine gun, I want to kill humanity types.

Though nowadays, we're getting many road-rage, frustrated, drug using/selling, shady types as well.

Question is, how do NORMAL/GOOD people, who have good intentions and just want to go day by day doing normal regular things like working, shopping, and enjoying life, deal with all the F8cked up people allllll around us? You can't tell simply by looking at them but MANY out there are frustrated, conniving, shady, living paycheck to paycheck, nasty, rude, opportunists, MANY types of so called "evil?"

You're either part of the problem or not.

Answer 1

The only thing any of us can do is TRY and put ourselves in a position that give us the best possible chance not to come in contact with those types of people.

You see half the battle is going to places, where you are not not going to be subjected to shady types of people, IE... bars, night clubs or places of ill repute. In those places, people usually have a drinking problem, are out for a piece of tail and from my wisdom of 42 years, every last one of them wear a MASK as to what there real intentions are and who they really are. Thats alot to deal with, just going somewhere to have a drink and relax.



The other half is, be aware of what you are doing. No matter where you go in today's society, there are going to be wolves in sheeps clothing. So never trust anyone you just meet, be very ,very leery of everybody, I'm not saying be paronoid, but trust is something that is earned over a long period of time. NEVER earned when you first meet someone. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES ever trust a stranger. Also, be curtious and polite. Treat people with respect, not TRUST, but respect. A please and thank you go a far way in life. Yes sir and yes maam do very well also. I'm not saying be a push over, be polite but frim. Plus there is no better way to end a disagreement then to agree to disagree and just walk away.



The point is: Evil and untrustworthy people are always going to be everywhere. 50% of the battle is not putting yourself in high risk places and the other 50% is how you deal with and conduct yourself, when your face to face with a stranger.



When you first meet someone, if they are TO friendly or want you to trust them TOO much. Get the hell away from them as soon as possible, that is one BIG red flag of deciete!!

Exactly like the days of Noah, Sodom & Gomorrah, it's about time for God to "Flush" the World again isn't it !!! Part of the Problem is the fact that the "Squeaky Wheel Gets the Oil" is still Valid!!! That is to say that for Example, "Gays" are Actively Crying Out to have their "Learned Behavior" "Justified" and because "Straights" aren't Actively Opposing them, they are starting to take hold in the Political Realm as we have seen throughout History past!!! Of course, they have CAUSED the Down Fall of those Civilizations who have "Buckled" under their Pressure, but as has been stated before, "If we Learn Anything from History, it is that we Learn Nothing from History!!!" The Only way to "Deal" with this is the Daily Intake of Bible Doctrine, "Putting on the Full Armor of God, that U may Withstand Satans' Fiery Darts" as Scripture says!!! We Must Stand upon the Principles of the Bible & Not "Waver" on Any Subject as "A Little Leavening Leaveneth the Whole Loaf" as Scriptur Also says!!! John

Answer 3

For me, I simply avoid places and people where such evil goes on. The type of people you describe I call them people with the "ME" attitude. It is what they want when they want it no matter who they have to hurt or kill to get it.. I stay close to home, and I avoid confrontational places and people. We really dont go out alot because of the evil out there, but when we do we know we have God's protection.

Answer 4

Good question, but why would you add "living paycheck to paycheck" in your list of evil doings? My husband and I live paycheck to paycheck and we are not evil at all. We simply are struggling to stay above water with two kids. Just because someone is frustrated, or nasty or rude does not make them evil. It makes them human, everyone has bad days. The way to deal with all of this is to show kindness to everyone even if they do not show you kindness. Do not be part of the problem. That is the solution. Just because someone is rude to you, you do not have to be rude back. Just because someone is shady, and they ask you to join them, you do not have to join them. God is not going to judge you based on your friends or families or random strangers actions, He is only going to judge you based on your own actions. That is why we must be very careful to keep ourselves in check at all times. We cannot control anyone else.
