When "EVIL" is recognized as residing primarily within "Our-Evil-Relationships" --- WE-ARE-ENPOWERED because we are Inside-of-Our-Relationships and can still behave in ways which can transcend-and-mitigate OUR own: alienation, estrangement, sin, anger, resentment, mistakes, revenge, ignorance, prejudices, judgmentalism, perfectionism, spite, controls, domination, arrogance, self-righteousness, ego-centric- pride, collusions, addictions, macho-mandates, codependence, and domination-systems. There are clear advantages to recognizing "EVIL" as residing primarily within "Our-Evil-Relationships" --- NOT as residing within isolated people, individuals, and concentrations-of-power which are outside of us. We need to be clear in our own minds and in dialogue with each other about the many advantages to recognizing "EVIL" as residing primarily within "Our-Evil-Relationships" as described above. Then we need to cooperate in taking advantage of that recognition of "EVIL" as residing primarily within "Our-Evil-Relationships" as described above --- and work effectively as true peacemakers.
