Letter to the Editor: RE: Your opioids column in the Feb. 1 paper

The author and philosopher Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote "What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love."

Dear Editor (Tim),

 

Thanks for your recent contributions to City View. Your commentary called "What the eyes can't unsee" (Feb. 1 edition) made me think a little.  

The statement, "I care, and in many ways I wish I didn't."

This actually shook me up.  

The author and philosopher Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote "What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love."

I can see his point. Dostoevsky admitted that love and care in a person's life can bring the pain of a broken heart.

I understand the principle that made Abraham Lincoln great, and a warrior against slavery in America, was, "Do unto others what you would like others to do to you.” I believe in the principle that "Love never fails.” 

There is a great controversy in our world between good and evil. We are all tempted to give up on good. Let's "overcome evil with good".
