260623 What I learned in my studies this morning 6***

Today's Meditation(s):

"The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained.  And even in the best of all hearts, there remains … an un-uprooted small corner of evil." ~ Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Good and evil exist in all of us. It's up to us to choose. I try to train myself to make that choice more naturally, more easily, more automatically.

It doesn't work as often as it should, but it has become surprisingly automatic in many areas.
