Good vs. Evil: Age-old Story Continues

Yesterday, in an ironic juxtaposition of headlines, Pope John Paul was beatified as Osama Bin Laden was killed.

As old as recorded history, themes of good vs. evil weave through our literature, politics, business, religions and relationships.

Every newborn enters this world pure and innocent. At what point does one begin making choices for good or for bad? What turns a person from decisions based on compassion, social justice, fairness and love to a life of greed, revenge, entitlement and hatred?

To that question is no easy answer, and the good vs. evil saga will continue. Across the globe, I believe there are more humanitarians than terrorists. The former don't often make the headlines.
