What we assume is good in the world don't even come into play n their world. We look for truth, thinking that is a good thing, and they just look for success regardless of what it takes. I don't get it, and don't even want to.
I just really resent that telling our kids to be kind and honest turns out to be a losing proposition and that we now refer to a "post truth world".
Is there really "the devil", and is this it?
