is evil a choice?

"the lesser of the two evils."

um... i'm having a problem with that phrase.

IS there a lesser evil? i think okay, there are some areas that are grey and can't be called right or wrong. but with two situations that are clearly wrong, is it justifiable to pick one?

please let me know your thoughts. i'm seriously wrestling with this idea. and putting myself in the hot seat, remembering when i picked an evil and thought it was somehow... better.

In an ideal world, dark would be dark and light would be light. Unfortunately, we're not in one.

I tend to think more in the black and white area when it comes to my personal relationships. I don't deal in gray when it comes to my friends for instance.

Areas like politics tend to be those gray zones. 99.9% of politicians (Republican, Democrat, or otherwise) worship politics and do/say anything to get and stay on top. I don't usually like any of my options, but I try to vote for the candidate (who in my opinion, and no one elses) will do the most good.

Really, the choice is yours. The things you should base these kinds of decisions on are God and your conscience. Good luck.
