It is becoming more and more critical to move past the passive
defense mechanism of “denial” and to understand that some people are just bad.
If you are familiar with Aesop’s parable of the “Scorpion and the Frog” you can
see how applicable it is to our modern society. The true nature of person is
always there, just under the surface. No matter how skillful or practiced they
are at masking it, it is always just a moment from showing itself. When you
understand the nature of a beast, you understand what it is capable of:
“There is no safety for honest men except by believing all possible evil
of evil men.”- Edmund Burke
Denial does nothing but make you less prepared for the ugly
realities of life. Truth is, some people simply cannot be reasoned with, talked
down, or persuaded to good. Prayers with the families impacted by the tragedy at
