The truest definition of evil is that which represents it as something contrary to nature; evil is evil because it is unnatural; a vine which should bear olive-berries, an eye to which blue seems yellow, would be diseased; an unnatural mother, an unnatural son, an unnatural act, are the strongest terms of condemnation.

The Truest Definition Of Evil Is That

Frederick William Robertson
The truest definition of evil is that which represents it as something contrary to nature; evil is evil because it is unnatural; a vine which should bear olive-berries, an eye to which blue seems yellow, would be diseased; an unnatural mother, an unnatural son, an unnatural act, are the strongest terms of condemnation.

You gotta have good olive oil. you should have a cooking olive oil and you should have a finishing olive oil, like an extra-virgin olive oil.
Should Have Oil Cooking
We walked on the beach, fed blue corn ships to the seagulls, and munched on blue jelly beans, blue saltwater taffy and all the other free samples my mom brought home from work. i guess i should explain the blue food. see, gabe had once told my mom there was no such thing. they had this fight, which seemed like a really small thing at the time. but ever since, my mom went out of her way to eat blue. she baked blue birthday cakes. she mixed blueberry smoothies. she bought blue-corn tortilla chips and brought home blue candy from the shop.

It's no fun to be yellow. maybe i'm not all yellow. i don't know. i think maybe i'm just partly yellow and partly the type that doesn't give much of a damn if they lose their gloves. one of my troubles is, i never care too much when i lose something - it used to drive mother crazy when i was a kid. some guys spend days looking for something they've lost. i never seem to have anything that if i lost it i'd care too much. maybe that's why i'm partly yellow. it's no excuse, though. it really isn't. what you should be is not yellow at all.

Bastian had climbed a dune of purplish-red sand and all around him he saw nothing but hill after hill of every imaginable color. each hill revealed a shade or tint that occured in no other. the nearest was cobalt blue, another was saffron yellow, then came crimson red, then indigo, apple green, sky blue, orange, peach, mauve, turquoise blue, lilac, moss green, ruby red, burnt umber, indian yellow, vermillion, lapis lazuli, and so on from horizon to horizon. and between the hill, separating color from color, flowed streams of gold and silver sand.
Blue Color Sky
Blue is the insides of something mysterious and lonely. i'd look at fish and birds, thinking the sky and water colored them. the first abyss is blue. an artist must go beyond the mercy of satin or water-from a gutty hue to that which is close to royal purple. all seasons and blossoms inbetween. lavender. theatrical and outrageous electric. almost gray. true and false blue. water and oil. the gas jet breathing in oblivion. the unstruck match. the blue of absence. the blue of deep presence. the insides of something perfect.
Lonely Thinking Artist
Father god, thank you for having no condemnation for those who are in christ jesus, because through christ jesus the law of the spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. for what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, you did by sending your own son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. (rom. 8:1-3) help me to understand that the loving chastisement that might come to me after i have rebelled against you is only in the purest father's love and is never to be confused with condemnation. (heb. 12:6)
