The damned soul flees from truth. An underlying mental disorder of those who see no problems not of their choosing is to think and say “nothing is wrong”. To them, jihad is not wrong, slavery in many countries is not wrong, Castro’s prison camps are not wrong. Nothing that any criminal or foreigner can do is wrong. Everything that their taxable neighbors do IS wrong and must be stopped.
We make the mistake of thinking they are merely “mistaken”. “Surely,” we say, “if only we point out to them that Castro’s prison camps are far worse than anything else in the entire hemisphere, they will focus on fixing that far greater evil rather than worrying about comparatively trivial problems in our own criminal justice system.”
When we say that, we are saying, “I am afraid to understand that such people have chosen to protect greater evil by focusing their lives on lesser evils.” When someone worries more about the imaginary effect of DDT on the eggs of birds while millions die of malaria, what they are really saying is “I hate my neighbors and want them to die.”
That sentence is at the heart of every liberal soul. We can but pray for them to love their neighbors.
