There is the three fold law, there is karma and there is the Wiccan Rede. But, that doesn&#8217;t really answer the question, does it?<\/p>\n<p>I do believe there are bad things out there. I don&#8217;t trust that everything around us is goodness and light. But, I tend to seldom think about anything negative in that way. It&#8217;s not a focus in my day to day doings. If you don&#8217;t dwell on evil (whatever word you would call it) it won&#8217;t notice you either.<\/p>\n<p>To me even talking about evil sounds a bit looney toon. In the end, people make choices and that is what brings consequences to themselves and the rest of the planet\/ people. The evil comes from ourselves, not so much from an outside source. Yes, I think there is an outside source but it&#8217;s only as strong as we ourselves make it.<\/p>\n<p>Each day is a new day and you have to choose who you will be, what you will believe in and what you will do.<\/p>\n<p><em>Originally posted to &#8216;BackWash: Where the Wild Things Are&#8217; newsletter, August, 12, 2003.<\/em>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/thatgrrl.com\/site\/index.php\/2003\/where-the-wild-things-are-karma-goodness-and-light-2\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to Where the Wild Things Are: Karma, Goodness and Light\"><p>Witches don&#8217;t believe in hell, or devils or satan, none of that Christian stuff of nightmares.
