Thursday's Thoughts - Theme: Good & Evil

     I’ve been considering the concept of good and evil quite a bit these past few days, as I’ve been reading Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil. I recommend it only if you’ve read Thus Spoke Zarathustra, though. It’s not as exciting because it’s not told as a story, but Beyond Good and Evil could be equally enjoyable if you’re familiar with Nietzsche’s concepts. (And enjoy them, of course.) 
     It’s also not a bad idea to begin thinking deeply about the contrast, and more importantly— what truly does take place beyond good and evil.

This Week's Theme: Good & Evil
“The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.” - Socrates

“All good becomes a great evil when implemented by force.” - JJ Dewey

“To rid ourselves of our shadows — who we are — we must step into either total light or total darkness. Goodness and evil.” - Jeremy P. Johnson
