When Evil Looks Like Ordinary Life
What drives a mother to give her son the same rifle his brother used for suicide-as a Christmas gift? This isn't fiction. It's the true story of Bobby's parents, respectable churchgoers who seemed utterly normal. Eight months after their older son Stuart shot himself, they wrapped that .22 rifle and placed it under the tree for Bobby. When confronted, they appeared genuinely confused about the problem. Despite Bobby's depression and declining grades, they hadn't sought help, believing he'd "get over it." Evil doesn't always announce itself with dramatic cruelty. More often, it wears the mask of normalcy, hiding behind church attendance and community respectability while destroying lives through calculated indifference. Understanding this hidden face of evil-and why seemingly ordinary people commit extraordinary harm-reveals uncomfortable truths about human nature that we can no longer afford to ignore.
