I have some more. Evil is viewed as powerful and unapologetic. This appeals to those who feel weak and inept in life--the perpetually self-conscious. Also, it appeals to those who don't feel "good enough to be normal". I put that in quotes b/c it's only a self-perception. They don't measure up to the good people (plus being good is hard), so they say they're evil--they figure they must be! It's one or the other in this society, right? This all, at least, is my understanding of your typical evil-loving young person. They grow out of it when they see that we're all gray, and evil is sick.<br />--AmberAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451967221153854329.post-23905442180308142632013-03-19T07:56:20.625-07:002013-03-19T07:56:20.625-07:00Every day I wake up is a good day.

So, any day I am awake and breathing is a good day, no matter what.<br /><br />I have to say, though I missed your show, I really enjoyed The Lords of Adventure during the parade. The last day, I even stepped out with my drum to play for John, because he was so much fun. Next year, you'll be an expert percussionist "playing the sticks." <br /><br />Thank you guys for being the "good guys," and making it fun!Kristalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14559489617591803066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451967221153854329.post-52208976295719672492013-03-13T00:00:21.145-07:002013-03-13T00:00:21.145-07:00The problem isn't an infatuation with evil, pe...The problem isn't an infatuation with evil, per se. The issue is that in our heavily Christianity-influenced society, what is considered evil has been expanded.<br /><br />Much like "Satan" in Laveyan Satanism, evil is anything that is "sinful". Which, when it comes down to it, is just about everything that might be fun, entertaining, or feel good.<br /><br />So when people say they are evil, or love evil, or do evil things, chances are more likely that they're talking about something as harmless as enjoying sex. I don't think they are, as you put it, moping. Or even attracted to the mope. It's hedonism they crave. And hedonism is evil.<br /><br />Even people who are bad people (liars, cheaters, etc), won't admit to it. This is not the evil they embrace. They've just grown up in a world where enjoying yourself, finding happiness in indulgence rather than chastity, is a bad thing. And instead of going the route of Catholic guilt, they choose to embrace it.<br /><br />That's my humble opinion, anyhow. :)Mayginhttp://maygintheresa.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451967221153854329.post-56014483607385522462013-02-22T14:51:41.467-08:002013-02-22T14:51:41.467-08:00True words never have been said. I agree with you ...True words never have been said. I agree with you fully. It might sound kind of funny but I believe what we watch on TV as children has a huge influence on what kind of person we become. I look back on the cartoons I watched as a kid, He-man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe, Transformers, and others in that 80's through 90's era, and in every one every episode had some clear message or some triumph that you learn from. In today's cartoons I see less and less of that. Its almost like today we are more concerned in hiding jokes in the cartoons to keep it interesting for adults. Then we have children watching cartoons that are strictly for adults, Family Guy, South Park, Futurama, and anything on adult swim, and instead of getting good life lessons they are learning things and seeing things they don't need to learn or know till they are old enough. We as a society need to bring back lessons in cartoons and get rid if the adult humor in kids shows. .....when can I expect the lords of adventure cartoonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769317933577672420noreply@blogger.com
