Musings on Evil
Evil is a thick, black river.
Good can only stand in the way of it. Evil knows no defeat, only frustration regarding obstacles and determination to overcome those obstacles. Evil picks at the cracks of its cage. It presses up against the smooth walls and looks for a mouse hole.
Good must be cautious in how it fights evil.
Evil must be overcome with good. To use evil in the battle against evil makes one a soldier of the night with no recourse. Selfishness will over-rule team goals. Laziness will trump discipline. A need for glory will open the door for vanity to destroy what has been achieved.
There is no grey. A human soul is white gauze and evil is a drop of ink.
There is strength involved in being passive. There is strength in sacrifice. There is strength in going with evil to get to its source before making one’s stand but that is a dangerous gamble and only for the strong.
Turn the lights out. Hope for the best. Grab the controls.
Pull up.
