Good vs Evil

The Wolf and I (and a gazillion other people) play a game on Face Book, and I have advanced to the stage of the game where I have to choose between Good and Evil.  Ah, the eternal question of life.

Evil is sexy, fun, has that hint of danger, and is terribly attractive.  Evil might be fun, at least pretend.

Good is boring, predictable, saccharine sweet.  If I am honest with myself, however, good likely suits my personality better.

Darn it.  I want to be sexy with a hint of danger.

I know, I know, its a bloody game.

I chose good.  Partly because if I am honest, it is what I am.  Partly because I am not sure I totally believe that "what you call comes to you" applies on this casual a scale, but I am certainly not willing to take the gamble.

Evil in pop culture has been given the air of a misunderstood sexiness, attraction, often with an air, in literature, of someone who is basically good at the core but forced by circumstances or misunderstanding to act as or be perceived as evil.

People who deal with evil know its reality; victims of evil, and police, soldiers, counselors, doctors, and many more.  But for the rest of us, it is so far out of our daily routine that we have a hard time grasping what it really is, so we have in our minds instead the watered down version we get from movies and books ~ sexy vampires, mis-understood "bad guys" who get reformed.  In real life, it seems to rarely happen that way.

And while I am on this rant, when did addiction become a good thing?  Various things market themselves by saying they are "addictive" or "addicting".  Doesn't the very act of something being an addiction imply some sort of detrimental effect?

Its no wonder people have such a hard time making wise choices.
