Too often the “great” are called so out of the cesspool’s need and no other reason.
How they got that way isn’t questioned. To the cesspool, “great” is amoral. It is nothing
more than one’s seismic significance to the subsurface turds. A great good and a great
evil deserve the same attention, the same worshipfulness, the same veneration, the same
press, the same coverage, the same fame. It’s the seismic reading that counts, not the
merits of one’s deeds, one’s contributions, one’s psychosis or one’s penchant for mass
murder. Virtue, or the lack of it, doesn’t count in the final tally.
But for those with eyes to see, great goodness and great evil are measured by completely
different means. For true goodness is greatness, and can only come about through
individuals, through their vision and determination, their persistence and optimism, their
virtue and prudence, their shunning of fame and glory. They have no need of followers or
devotees or the applause of the burbling shit; they require no holy sanction; and they
disdain the blessings of the wealthy and powerful. True goodness stands alone.
Great evil, on the other hand, can only come about through the consent, silent
or otherwise, of the mass of turds, rich and powerful or not. It cannot survive otherwise.
The turds spawn evil. It may have its genesis in a single person, that is true. But there it will
surely die without the obeisance of all the shit who adopt it and raise it and shower upon
it the cheap imitation of love they have substituted for the authentic kind, but which
frighten and anger them, for true love, like true goodness, requires courage of spirit, and
can be found only in very few.
The shit spew and spit their spreading evil as good; and with it they rape the countryside
and climate and commonweal; they eviscerate the dignity of others who oppose them;
and, eventually, they destroy what’s left of their souls, if souls they have by that point.
They’ll select an unimpressive and mundane individual to represent their evil, and they’ll
build him palaces and statues and conquering armies and revisionist constitutions and
riches beyond measure.
Great good is bred and borne in and by individuals. Great evil is, and will be always,
corporate.
