Great Rates, No Banks. Borrow. Lend. Prosper. Code Neon Blue! - "If good and evil matter to us at all..."

Another blade of the Grassroots, trying to help revive the US political system. My blogitory is Southeastern Colorado, especially Lamar in Prowers County. But not all that much happens around here (that's how we LIKE IT!), so my daily posts will feature state and national issues too.

"If good and evil matter to us at all..."

A friend of mine was sharing an excellent quote around from Making Light, a personal blog that often touches on the political.

Zander, speaking in comments, said in part:

“If good and evil matter to us at all, then we are obliged to be good above all. If that means we lose, then we lose. If that means we die, then we die. If we sacrifice our goodness even for one moment for the sake of winning, the victory is pointless, and we are damned. Especially if we continue then to talk about good and evil as if they mattered to us.

We cannot, we dare not, lay aside our goodness on the grounds that it is “necessary,” because next time it will be “advisable” and the time after that it will be “expedient” and then “convenient” and by that time we are in pitch up to our necks. If we pretend to be on the side of the light, then we can do nothing in shadow, because even if God is not watching us, history is.”
