The problem of evil is something that humans have wrestled with for a long time. The key is to take a lesson from alchemy, which is something that Bitcoiners are already adept. Take, for example, the Skull of Satoshi, or Samantha LaDuc's "Rogue Money" moniker. Those were both meant to injure or derogate Bitcoin but we flipped the script and alchemized these attacks into momentum for our cause by adopting them. This is not to suggest that we should adopt evil. Instead, consider that, in Mandarin, the word for "problem" is the same word for "opportunity" and that the existence of evil people and evil actions presents opportunities for us to polarize more towards service to others (good) by serving those who have been afflicted by those of the extreme service to self (evil) polarity. Everyone, regardless of polarity, offers us a mirror to use for personal growth. As we look at person X, we can consider emulation of aspects of that personality, of that manner of being, and choose to adopt or reject those aspects of that manner of being. We can choose just like it's a buffet. The evil, shadowy string pullers of this world offer us the same sorts of opportunities. We can observe their manner of being, choose to reject most of, if not all aspects of their manner of being, and then love them for having offered us the opportunity to observe and assess for fitment the adoption or exclusion of their manner of being with our own manner of being. This is a reason to love every single person. This doesn't mean you have to be a doormat. This doesn't mean you have to be a pushover. Power is a Divine trait. Embody power, but balance it with Mercy, another Divine trait. 🪶 📝 fff81265…
