The Cause

Onlookers stand by and watch while an attacker accosts an older woman and takes her purse. A child is beaten by his mother while people stare and do nothing. Devaluation occurs between a husband and wife in public, and no one says a word. Political arguments rage, but this one will never even vote. “Get involved?” “Make a difference?” “Intervene?” Why should I?” “It's none of my business.” “I have enough to care for already,” are all pat answers that ring hollow in the ears of care. One question prevails, and one question rises to the top: “Is there not a cause?”

The saying goes, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing,” which begs the questions, “Is evil triumphing today?” or at the very least “Is evil triumphing today more than it was ten, twenty, thirty years ago or more?” Maybe “evil” is being re-defined by some, and although they deem their evaluations appropriate, could it be that blindness or deception has been the veiling of evil's true intent? Perhaps tolerance for any and everything is the mode and direction rather than good men acting, but some think not. There is a cause, and though there are varying degrees of acceptable and unacceptable behavior depending upon which individual or group with which one speaks, evil is not variable upon what is right in one's own eyes.

There is a generation who sees no wrong, and there are those who are so blind that they cannot see. There is a generation who recognizes the cause and simply observe, and there is a generation who stands firm against the prevailing enemy. There are those among the quiet masses who when directed and motivated will make their mark, stand their ground, and be ready to wield the stone of adversity when the giants of evil step in to intrude.

There is a cause. Find it. Discover it, and wield away.
