What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

A Lot of Evil

Men (and women and trans and fluid gender) people can do a lot of evil deeds.  We have seen it through history, we see it today.  Are there people who ARE evil?  I don't think so.  I mean, I would certainly say that someone like Adolph Hitler makes me think there are, but I wonder...and I am reminded that Hitler, too was made in God's image, but did NOT grow in God's likeness.  Did he not grow in God's likeness and, quite the opposite, was responsible for the death and torture of millions because he was missing something, as sociopaths are said to be missing the ability to experience empathy?  Did he do these things because somehow evil got inside him?  And does that make HIM evil or was it his ACTIONS that were evil?  Does it matter?

That has nothing to do with anything right now except that the second book in the Detective P.T. Marsh series is called The Evil Men Do.  And there is a lot of sorrowful evil in this one.  For some reason I wasn't as caught up in it as the first, hence four stars.  But I will try the next one.
