And that's when I figured out that tears couldn't make somebody who was dead alive again. There's another thing about tears, they can't make somebody that doesn't love you anymore love you again. It's the same with prayers. I wonder how much of their lives people waste crying and praying to God. If you ask me, the devil makes more sense than God does. I can see why people would want him around. It's good to have somebody to blame for all the bad stuff they do. Maybe God's there because people get scared of all the bad stuff they do. They figure that God and the Devil are always playing this game of tug-of-war with them, and they never know which side they're gonna wind up on. I guess that tug-of-war idea explains how sometimes, even when people try and do something good, it still turns out bad.
The worst part is knowing that there is goodness in people. Mostly it stays deep down and buried. Maybe we don’t have God because were scared of the bad stuff, maybe were really scared of the good stuff. Cause if there’s no god, than that means its inside of us and, we could be good all the time if we wanted. So when we do bad things itd be because we want to, or because we have to. Or maybe we just need the bad stuff to remind us of the good in the first place.
