The form of evil

 There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. (Rod Serling) 

Most anyone who has ever watched the ‘Twilight Zone,’ can immediately tell you about the episode that remains embedded in their mind. For many fans it is actually quite difficult to list just one favorite episode, because when a person begins to recall the madness, terror, shock, and awe of even one episode, like a tsunami, at least a half dozen episodes flood our minds. But at least, whether it was a half-hour show or an hour-long episode, once Rod Serling appeared on the screen at the end, many of us could begin to feel a little safer, until the next week.

 

The past year, at least for me, has been if anything, a rambling mess of the worst of the “Twilight Zones.’ A collection of the vilest, the evilest of degenerates and deplorable, and a cacophony of unbridled revolution to travel to the lowest of the low with regard to the politics, policies, and practices of this nation. Like so many episodes of the ‘Twilight Zone,’ the innocent have been bombarded by the disregard of laws, the disruption of norms, and the WANT and WILL, to ignore the welfare of others. I believe TRUMP has succeeded only because a large minority of people never want to pay any consequences for any and all crimes they may have committed or might like to commit. TRUMP is a hero for the selfish self-serving Americans who NEVER EVER FELT THAT RULES APPLIED TO THEM. Like, “a whack on the side of my head,” it finally dawned on me that the people who support TRUMP lack conscience, hate morals, and make up their own principles to cover up their own self-loathing.

 

Anyplace, everyplace, where there's hate, where there's prejudice, where there's bigotry. He's alive. He's alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. (Rod Serling) As Rod Serling states, HE, in the form of evil, has come to our town.
