The other guy isn’t pure evil
Oct 22, 2022
You know the other guy. The one that is up against the politician that you love. The one that you can’t understand how anyone could support.
They’re probably not as good as their supporters think they are, but they’re not as bad as you try to make them out to be.
Madeleine Van Hecke said it perfectly in her book “ Blind Spots “:
It takes great courage to come to grips with the reality that our cause may not consist of pure righteousness and that our enemies do not represent pure evil.
Support your side and fight like hell, but just realize that the other side is unlikely to be the devil himself.
