Hear the Music

Let me sit in this meditation on evil.

Dare I say this: the prevalence of evil stuns me. It is so near, and even within me. The weight of one crushed life, or one tragedy, is horrible.

Yet how many people exist on Earth today? 6,446,131,400 according to the CIA's estimates: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2119rank.html

Six billion, four hundred and forty-six million, one hundred and thirty-one thousand, and four hundred people suffer. Hatred, envy, incontinence, ignorance...

Humanity reeks in the nostrils of God. We reek in the nostrils of God.
