"life is a struggle to push back against the evils of the world without succumbing to the passions of the beast lurking inside." I believe that too but the evil is so in our faces these days that the battle has become mortally reduced to just screaming back at it. Perhaps if we get that crook out of the White House, we can have a moment to come to our senses?
