Try
Try, try, try just a
little bit harderSo I can love, love, love him, I tell myself
'Cause I'm gonna try, oh yeah, just a little bit harder
There is no Try.
With apologies to Yoda’s “Do or not Do. There is no Try”, “Good or no Good. There is no Evil”. Yoda was not saying that there is no such thing as trying. And the second statement is not saying that there is no such thing as evil. What both statements are saying is that the choice is about an absolute. Trying is not an absolute, neither is evil. Thus the G.W. Bush and cronies' conception of the world as a battle of Good vs. Evil elevates Evil to that of an absolute. There is only one absolute and that is Good. Good is not merely the absence of Evil, it is the presence of Good, which means that Evil is NOT an absolute.
