#affirmation Today’s message is a simple one. It’s about evil.
I know right? Not a subject I talk about a lot, but there you go. Me being all different and shit.
Okay, so maybe not. Maybe I just wanted to share a bit of a song I heard last night. Now the fact that I was listening to the radio at all is Audible.com’s fault. See their app broke so I couldn’t listen to my book. And I wasn’t in the mood for silence right then.
So I flipped on the radio and hit scan. Three stations went by then I heard a catchy melody with a somewhat familiar voice. My friends will tell you that I don’t recognize singers very well.
But the line that I heard as this. “People loving people That’s the enemy of everything that’s evil.”
WHOA.
Simple. Direct. Profound.
So here are the lyrics to this song by Garth Brooks. What do you think of it?
“People Loving People”
Doctor, you ain’t got a clue
For whatever’s making this world blue
You can’t get forgiveness at the store
And peace, it’s a politician’s war
You won’t find no resolution in the bottom of a bottle
In the stars or Aristotle, the only answer to the problem is…
People loving people
That’s the enemy of everything’s that’s evil
Ain’t no quick fix at the end of a needle
It’s just people loving people
Whoa, woah, woah, woah
Words aren’t what they seem to be
Talk is cheap but lies are free
We fear what we don’t understand
We’ve been scared since time began
All the colors and the cultures circle ’round us on a spindle
It’s a complicated riddle, the solution is so simple…
It’s people loving people
That’s the enemy of everything’s that’s evil
Ain’t no quick fix at the end of a needle
It’s just people loving people
Whoa, woah, woah, woah
You can pawn it off on kings and queens and those behind the curtain
Say what can make a difference in a world so full of hurting
But I believe the remedy starts right here with you and me
People loving people
That’s the enemy of everything’s that’s evil
Ain’t no quick fix at the end of a needle
It’s just people loving people
It’s just people loving people
Whoa, woah, woah, woah
Whoa, woah, woah, woah
It’s just people loving people
~~Garth Brooks

I thought St. Francis from the Symbolon Tarot was appropriate. Do you?
