The Bad Show or The Truth Show?

After recently listening to a Pod cast called "The Bad Show", from Radiolab, I'm really wondering why it is even called the Bad Show.
Before I took the time to listen to it I read the description because it took me by surprise as beside the description was a picture of a devil figure, something that many consider to be "evil" and scary. Beside the picture this is what it said:

"Cruelty, violence, badness... This episode of Radiolab, we wrestle with the dark side of human nature, and ask whether it's something we can ever really understand, or fully escape"

I took some notes during the Pod cast and I found some really interesting facts that I completely believe are true. That's why I think this pod cast shouldn't have been called 'The Bad Show' but instead the truth show.

Some of the first issues discussed in the pod cast are:

·        Does everyone have something bad in them? Why do people do bad things? How do you tell Bad people from anyone else?

      A story is told in attempt to reflect these questions, but ultimately the answers are YES, everyone has something bad in them. YES, people do bad things for no reason. And, it is impossible to tell a bad person from a good person. 

       

       What I've learned from all of this I can relate back to what I originally said I would blog about, which is that we are all at war and that we are fighting the wars that we encounter in our lives. When we have the free will to be evil, or to be good, we are fighting our morals and therefore we are in a war with ourselves. Although Robert stays positive throughout the entire novel, is he still at war and fighting himself?

There's that over used saying, "You can't handle the truth!"
But I think its truth that we all need to just understand.
If we seek truth, we can understand reality.
