THERE IS SOME GOOD IN EVERYTHING

 

 

Men have always been interested in the world around

 them. It is their home, their setting, their environment,

 whatever we like to call it. We see in the world of 

objects, sights and sound, many things that are 

pleasant and agreeable we feel satisfied to that, but

 many things that we think to be evil may not actually

 that harmful to that extent we might think of. This is

 something related to human psychology,

 

The thing we feel good from, always consider good,

And the thing we feel bad from, considered always bad.

Good and Evil are different degrees of the same thing:

Ancient philosophers have preached that everything has some purpose of good, although we may not be able to see clearly. A few years ago, the farmers in an English country thought[  that crows were very destructive birds. They saw the crows among the crops of young corn  and in the yellow fields of harvest time. It was decided that the crows were stealing or destroying the grain, and a campaign was started to destroy them. Thousands were shot. Next year, the farmers got a very poor harvest of grain and fruit, because there was a great  increase in the number of wire worms and various destructive insects. These were as a rule killed by the crows, and formed a main part of the crows, food. So the crows were the farmer's friends, and not his enemies. Is any man or woman wholly bad? As a rule. Shakespeare has shown that even his evil characters have a spark of virtue in them. Attila, the Hun, slew thousands, but was very fond of a small bird which he kept  in a cage. Word worth was the most spiritual of poets but Wordsworth committed great sin. An old jingle of rhyme said: There's so much ill in the best of us,   And so much good in the worst of us.     That it ill becomes any one of us.       To speak ill of the rest of us.   A bad man is one who has more badness and goodness, and a good man, unless he be a saint,  has some human frailty. In Shakespeare, Iago is the only wholly bad man, and he does not quite satisfy us. At any rate, he had boldness and courage. The doctrine of a universal God: The ancients preached the doctrine of a universal God, a spirit pervading all things. Wordsworth too found that God was in all objects of nature, in all the things of the material  world. This is what we call pantheism, the theory that God is universal and in everything. But if God is in anything, how can that thing be called bad?  One modern writer has argued that there is also a universal spirit of evil, and that in some  men and some places, this spirit, rather than God, is in possession. If that is so, we should  see that our hearts are thrown open to God, for God is Good.
