Why Choose Evil Over Righteousness

Why hate? 
Why be vindictive?
Why spread malicious gossip?
Why does the soul have to be black?
Why not choose to be white and pure?
Why not love?
Why not have peace?
Is all the” Whys” that important that it improves your lives?
That all the “Whys” hurt so many spiritual, physical, and mentally.
Is it  people goals to see others miserable?
How can one be happy to cause so much hate and discontent?
Where is the respect of value and dignity of human life? 
Why not be the man or woman that God created in his own image
and live the way God wants us to live. 


Genesis 1:27 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
