Oh man. The more I listen to Dr. Peterson, the more I love him, admire him and respect him. I pray daily that God protects you, guides you and blesses you, you and your family and the ones you love.

The world will be a much different place, a much more enlightened place and a much better place once Dr. Peterson is done with it.

There is so much I want to discuss with you Dr. Peterson. God willing I’ll be able to get in touch with you soon. I’m just collecting my thoughts and my ideas in the hope of delivering my message properly and in the fear that I’ll be too blown away by your magnificence that I won’t be able to organize my thoughts 😂

From the bottom of our hearts. We love you man ❤️

On rare occasions you meet a person who engages in malice as a major consideration of their being.
Even more rare is getting to see behind the mask and witnessing / recognizing of that evil.
You operate quite differently in the world when you are certain that evil exists.
Then witnessing that malice carried out, seeing the horror of it, you get to carry it around and have to internalize it and tame it to ensure you do not perpetuate this "disease" or be paralyzed by it.
Do not "turn the other cheek", cast it out with great intolerance.

When one knows that one *can* cause misery in others deliberately, one does not need to witness further Evil to understand that it (evil) exits.
Just because one "wouldn't" does not excuse one being ignorant that they themselves _could_ be their own or someone else's "evil villain."
Be your own hero first, because by example _maybe_ others will want to replicate those things you are getting right. [ eg: like sharing your psychological insights ;) ]

I loved the book "People of the Lie"; it explains evil in such a way as to remove all doubt about its existence. It's one of my favorite books.

As a Canadian, I think Bruce Cockburn said it best, “Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight.”

[Galactis]

In my eyes, I understand my own evil. I understand what I have been, what I could become. Even though I am in a better place now, I know that some evils are greater than and lesser than others. Evil exists, and that which can be rid of it, the better.

[tonykennedy]

Evil could be defined as "that which steals". Mark Passio makes a good case for that definition. Jeremy Locke also has an interesting perspective in his book "The End of all Evil". I like to define it as "That which steals freedom, that which seeks control, because when you take freedom away, you diminish the ability for good to manifest. Evil is in all of us.

You have helped countless lives in a healthy way! Thank you sir!

Kieth Ledger's Joker pointed out in one of his manic, narcissistically disordered moments, how he didn't want to kill Batman. No, he insisted that he could not exist without Batman, and that Batman's mortal existence completed him. 

Batman and the Joker are our quintessential good-and-evil characters.

People who 'don't believe in evil' either haven't encountered it yet, or they are it.

Oh yes, evil exists. But it is a master of disguise, and most people mistake “evil” for “good.”

After being ambitious for many years - and maybe being such above my real abilities and vocations - my greatest achievement in life - for now - is deciding that I need only 3 things to be happy - peace, garden, and books. :) This seems to be so little but its enough for me. But in recent years I m sorrounded by people who seem to be so indocrinated for this or that dogmatism, and living in so many of different fears probably manufactured for them by medias, (and frustration becouse of it maybe) that they seem to not be able to stand my basic needs - peace, garden, books - and cannot stand basic idea "live and let live" :) From every part they want to accuse me of being on the others side, or mobbing me to do and say things I dont want to do and say, or dominate me in debate, or put me in one of their ideological or religious "boxes", its so strange becouse I just wanted to be left alone thank you very much :)

thk u jordan... i know ur suffering too.. but u do more good than evil... and u inspire people.. me for ex... go on..

To be honest, at first I took on a little too much responsibility, but it was easy to step back a little when I realized that my life had basically nothing but work in it and I figured I couldn't live like that for a prolonged period of time. My fiancée complained about the lack of time we spent together, which I'm grateful for because I'm not so sure I'd have listened to anyone else and give it enough weight. The possibility of people taking on too much responsibility theoretically exists, but it almost never happens to people who are experts in not taking responsibility. The people who do take on too much responsibility do not come from being convinced by your words, they did it all their life and need encouragement to cut back and have some leisure (I guess, because what do I know – I'm not one of those [un]fortunately).

Love Jordan’s talks. Book recommendation for anyone interested in this subject matter: “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from time travel, death, the afterlife, extraterrestrials, the Vatican Archives, the Renaissance secrets, the Pyramids and Pharaohs, Jesus, Sinai, Hebrew letters…etc. Wild read. Best I’ve had in years.

Evil and good are labels and stories we assign to things. They don’t actually exist. But human suffering exists. Death and pain and cruelty exist. The Holocaust exists. And right and wrong do exist.

It’s so interesting. This is all just my opinion, but I don’t think good and evil exist objectively. But right and wrong do. And there’s a big difference.

You can’t love the sinner if good and evil exists. But you can hate the sin if right and wrong exist

“Don’t you immediately dispense with the idea of good” he said, waveringly

[donowen]

That’s like asking if we need air to breath.

SS Obergruppenführer Reinhardt Heydrich, (THE mastermind behind the Holocaust ) while being a truly evil demon, was a loving father, he was extremely clever, fluent in hebrew, a violin virtuoso, who played Beethoven and even cried of joy while doing it.
