The GOOD vs. EVIL DICTIONARY

What if you had a GOOD dictionary?

You would look through and you would find words like GOOD but not
EVIL. BEAUTIFUL but not UGLY, SMART but not STUPID, GENEROUS but not
STINGY.

What if, conversely, you had an EVIL dictionary with words like EVIL
but not GOOD, UGLY but not BEAUTIFUL, STUPID but not SMART, STINGY but
not GENEROUS?

Why do we have EVIL or if you prefer NEGATIVE words? Why do authors
write FICTION instead of TRUTH?

The world is a very mixed up place. Thanks Heavens there's a God!

CBORG3 sipped some tea and clacked out:
> What if you had a GOOD dictionary?

you'd be part of a game something was playing on you:

"Shock is the first stage. It is accompanied by disbelief and
numbness.

Denial follows quickly, crying "I don't believe it," or "It can't be."

Bargaining is your promise that "I'll be so very good that maybe I can
wake up and find that it isn't so. I'll do all the right things if
only...."

Guilt is painful and hard to deal with. This is when one says over and
over, "If only I had..." or "If only I had not..." This is a normal
feeling and ultimately it may be solved by stating, "I'm a human being
and I gave the best and worst of me to my friend (child, husband,
etc...) and what he or she does with that is his or her
responsibility.
