Empathy involves a connectedness to the heart of another and a respect for their personal boundaries.  An evil person is unmoved by the inner world of the other and has no respect for boundaries.  Shame involves an ability to be exposed and disturbed about actual or perceived violations or relationships.  An evil person is unaffected by exposure, so is consequently shameless.  Finally, goodness involves a desire to see someone or something grow in strength, freedom, and beauty.  An evil person seems to delight in stripping away purpose, individuality, and vitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark 2:4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when they could not come near unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was:  and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jennifer Van Allen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">www.theprodigalpig.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">www.faithincounseling.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Me: Prodigal, you need to watch out for evil.
