“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke)

Of course, we can help evil along a good bit by being backbiting, jumping to conclusions, treating people meanly, being drama queens, and so on.

I seem to be addicted to so much of that. Trying to do good for myself and others. Failing miserably and making more pain. I am only human, though I hate to look that in the face. The only way for me to stop, at this point, is to stop participating. I’m not strong or whatever it takes enough so far to find any other way. I hope one day I am. I’m striving for that, at any rate. In the meanwhile, I’ve quit the group I was “managing” or being the whipping boy of, which is how it felt to me for over a year. A year of trying and being miserable is enough. I wonder if I shouldn’t let make myself miserable over things for so long. But with that one, water is under the bridge of time, and no use worrying about it. I’ll try not to.
