Corruption

Is there any good tool that can’t be corrupted? The same Internet that allows the Jigglet (aka "AdventureBoy") to locate webcams of Kiwis and rare birds can also deliver sad and twisted visions of the worst behavior humans can exhibit.

It’s probably the human condition (my friend The Anchoress could sum it up more accurately as part of the The Fall) to take the paths that lead downward. I mean…water flows downhill for a reason. It’s easier.

Strange how feeding our minds on sorrow, despair, and degradation is so much easier than filling our souls with images of beauty and uplift.

More choices, again. More conscious decisions about how to walk in the world, and who we want to be.
