There are things that are inherently judged as bad and good. It's a judgement by a mind, or a society or a conglomeration of human experience...
But events and actions, in and of themselves, are not bad or good. How many people have you heard, like Lance Armstrong, who have said that their cancer was the best thing that ever happened to them, and not only that, given a change to have their lives over would have chosen the same path?
That someone's devistating divorce was the catalyst that led them to discover their true purpose in life?
That a child's untimely death inspired someone, or a group, to take steps to prevent that from every happening again to another child?
I believe that everything happens for a reason, for a greater purpose. I have learned not to judge things as good or bad. In the scheme of things, there is only knowledge, education and experience, all hopefully leading to the elevation of humanity to our next evolutionary level. Even Hitler. Even nuclear weapons. Even sex offenders. Even devistating wars and natural disasters.
I also believe that souls are made up of an eternal energy that gets to choose the kind of life they will lead in their next incarnation on Earth. So someone that picks an easy life, where their heroic meteoric rise to fame and/or fortune and/or glory seems laid out for them, is really no hero.
The heroes in Earth are the souls that accept harsh and horrible lives, for our benefit. For our greater good. For the lessons they patiently teach us about ourselves and our species and our role on this plane. They that choose to be abusers, the abused, the ill, the crippled, the outcasts, the Hitlers, the tyrants, the war mongerers. Sounds counter-intuitive but it's really not. Souls are all here to teach either themselves or humanity lessons that should lead us all to a higher level of consciousness and an eventual return to universal perfection.
It's we-- humanity-- that repeatedly refuses to learn these lessons and therefore makes the need for monster incarnations to exist. We are the bad people. All we have to do is evolve. Not so hard, right?
