Holden Huffman Blog Post #3

     There are many varying opinions when it comes to the subject of good vs. evil.  Some people believe that there is a very clear, solid line between good and evil, while others believe that there are some grey areas in between the two sides.  In my opinion, I believe that there is a separation between good and evil, but the good have some evil in them and vice versa.  I also believe that bad people can become good and good people can become bad.  An example of a bad person that has changed his ways is Michael Vick, currently a QB for the Pittsburgh Steelers (my favorite team in the NFL.)  In 2007, Vick was arrested for dog fighting and extreme animal abuse, serving 21 months in prison and being cut from the Atlanta Falcons.  Today, Vick is a huge supporter of the Humane Society's Pets for Life program in an attempt to end dogfighting throughout the world.  On the other spectrum of things, I believe that everyone has some "skeletons in their closet," no matter how good they may be.  One example of this theory is Josh Duggar.  On T.V., the Duggar family was portrayed as a near perfect family.  The kids rarely got in trouble, they were smart, had good morals, etc...  Recently, news popped up of Josh Duggar being charged with child molestation.  This news has already led to the cancelling of the show 19 Kids and Counting and has basically destroyed the wholesome reputation of the Duggar family.  This example shows that good people can still do terrible things.  Overall, yes there is a fine line between good and evil, but at the same time the two sides are both present within every one of us, even if one side is superior to the other.
