Deamons exist, they walk among us everyday; their camoflauge is so well done that to the naked eye they cannot be picked out in a crowd. They are here though, agents of evil and deception; spouting lies, spreading biggogtry and hatred. A science type friend of mine argued adamently that the human brain is wired the same, then how is it possibly for some people to be wrought with want to hurt their fellow human being? It does not make sense, because if brains begin the same, shouldn't they all end up the same? Well the same science type friend argued that conditioning and environment contributed to the difference in brain patterns between individuals. That is fair enough, but how is it that two people of similar ethnic heritage, in the same community growing up together will turn out radically differnt. One may turn to a life of crime and murder, while the other attends college and contributes to the prevention of cancer (yes prevention, because a cure is second rate and after the fact - a scheme to keep researchers employed). What is it then that makes these two people so radically differnt after a similar enviromental development, a deamon. People have the potential for great evil and even greater good, but some people choose to let the wicked into their life, hoping for immediate gains. Others choose the long and torrid road of good, where initial gains are limited and not always worth it, but are in it for the long haul of benefitting the human race. Its a dichotomy of good and evil - mind you it is a not a struggle between good and evil because both are necessary to produce the other, because without either there would be neutrality. Ahhh, imagine men and women left up to their own device, nothing would get accomplished except sex and food. No, there is good, which leads to the creation of church and state - organizations to prolong and benefit man. Along with church and state comes the potential for evil, in the form of corruption, lies and greed. Man is an open slate for the possesion of good and evil, which cannot be man made for neither has a proclivity in any person, but an arbitrary occurance in those who choose to embrace it. Remember, the ascetics of northren India chose neither good nor evil, but a laziness and true peace. Continuing my point, good and evil are possesions from the great beyond, and it may be whichever beyond you choose. Remember, that evil and chaos do not always coexist, and that a deed done for the disruption of society may be in place to keep the good from becoming too overbearing and thusly the norm, and neutral. Believe in possesion, because it is real; ignore it and you will only see evil men, not evil beings.
