I'm a history buff and I certainly was aware that incalculable evil has occurred in every part of history and in every era, seemingly never ending. In our modern times we like to think that humans have evolved beyond such depraved behavior, and I liked to think that way as well, previously realizing that while evil still exists with some people in some places, I nevertheless thought it to be more limited in scope in the modern era. I have now realized that is not so, and nothing has changed for the last 1,000 years and longer, probably going back to the dawn of mankind. Now, only the means and methods are different. Pure evil is everywhere, we are saturated with it.
Yes. I do think it’s less in your face than it used to be and so as you said, it’s easy to be lulled into thinking it’s decreased. And maybe it actually even has a little, because of certain differences in modern life. But it is definitely still very present in the world today.
