The older I get and the wiser I get, the more it is obvious to me that within the plane of Physical existence, evil will never be eradicated.

Good and Evil exist equally on this Physical plane.  It was designed that way by the Creator.  And that is all there is to it.  Both serve a purpose in this plane.  Both have their day in the sun.  There is no changing this eternal Truth—not unless one transcends to another plane of existence altogether.  And that in a nutshell is the goal of humanity’s existence, to transcend.

Throughout the history of Earth, there has always been times when Good is in ascendance and conversely there have been times when Evil seems to be dominant.  And so it shall always be.

So what is the purpose of this?

According to the ancient scriptures, the reason they exist is to serve as a painful prod that eventually causes the Soul back to the Eternal awareness of the Truth—that it is One with God/Creator.

In the highest realm, the highest Heaven or Paradise, there is no division of the Polarities of Good and Evil.  All is compressed to a Singularity, to a One-ness.  This must be experienced to comprehend it.  It cannot truly be explained in mere words.  Only those who have achieved Enlightenment/Transcendence know this by experience.

God is One.  God is Truth.  And the Soul is truly One with God.  All else is illusion.  So said the great monist Shankara so many years ago, still rightly revered by pious Hindus today.  Regarding the true nature of existence, I can scarcely recall a better answer to the greatest questions that the human mind has ever pondered.

The world is an illusion.  Good and Evil are illusions.  They are at best a pathetic imitation of the true reality of the Oneness that is God.  God is All, All That Is, All That Was, and All That Will Be.  And its nature is a singular compression of All.  It is One.  There is no place for Good and Evil to exist where there is only ONE.

So the next time you feel overwhelmed by evil, frustrated by evil, attacked by evil, etc., just remember this.  It serves a purpose as much as does its opposite quality—good.  In the plane of Duality/Polarity which is the Physical Plane, they will always exist.  Get over it.

Therefore enjoy the Good, learn from the Evil.  Endure the frustrating Polarity that is eternally inherent in this plane.  Be calm.  Be patient.  Be aware that it is all illusion.  Enlighten yourself by transcending the dualities.

And one fine day, when you have mastered this divine state of being in your daily life, you will become One with God and experience One and ONLY ONE.  This is enlightenment.  This is transcendence.  This is your destiny.

Since ancient times, there has persisted a tradition that the first born son is somehow of greater importance than all of the other sons of the same parents.

Well someone has to say it and I guess it will be me.

This ancient tradition is bullshit.

Well, perhaps that is too harsh, but it is true nonetheless.

The problem stems from the fact that this old tradition is a misunderstanding of a scientific fact that was known in ancient times, was subsequently forgotten and thoroughly degraded into a myth thru eons of time, and has resurfaced in the scientific laboratories only in the last 10 years.

What was discovered is this.  A female only has a certain amount of testosterone to give to her male offspring.  The first son receives the most generous portion of this male hormone.  The amount of testosterone the mother gives to the next son is significantly reduced.  And the next son receives even less.  And so on and so on it goes.  Every succeeding son gets less male hormone from his mother.

The result is thus.  Generally speaking, the first son is naturally the most active and outgoing of any male offspring.  In ancient times, this vigor was needed to protect the family or the village or nation, etc.  In other words, the first son was usually the warrior-soldier of the family.  Or else he was expected to carry on his father’s line of work.  Why?  Because he was given the most vitality and aggressiveness needed to maintain the family line.

The succeeding sons got practically nothing by comparison.  Why?  Not enough male hormone.  Imagine a son with so little testosterone that his very body is small and weak.  What kind of soldier would that make?  Not a very good one.  He might even be more inclined to pacifism.  In a violent world, such a notion was unthinkable.

In fact, if the succeeding son (or sons) didn’t get enough testosterone, he might even be homosexual.  How could a gay man be expected to continue the family line if he wasn’t attracted to women?  This last bit is not nonsense.  It was revealed by a scientific study that sought out to explain how and why straight couples sometimes produce gay men.  The scientific data collected during the study demonstrated overwhelmingly that succeeding sons are more prone to be gay with each generation.  The study showed that each new son was over 30% likely to be homosexual than the next older son.

It doesn’t take much thought to see how such scientific facts can degrade over time to the point that families who didn’t understand science would begin to place value on the first born son and devote less attention to the younger boys that followed.  This could easily turn into a tradition among simple-minded people.

And that is precisely what happened.

And it is still happening to this day.

I see no point in explaining all of this further.  It should be obvious to anyone who can think.

The above facts should not be interpreted as good or bad.  These are just the facts proven by science.

Take it or leave it.
