I am having this argument with my friend and boardmate Rommel about evil. It’s because he hates me for what I’ve been acting these past few days. I am acting as a person full of evil. Maybe all the insults can be said about that person: vicious, sexist, mean, stupid, slang, etc. But the most important aspect of that person is he enjoys all his evil-doings. And when Rommel had to criticize me, I had to give him the statement I didn’t even know where in the hell out of me came from.
To fight the evil, you must know the evil.
(Well, if you really wanted to)
After having said that, I became paranoid that maybe I am becoming one of those monsters, with big horns and long tails, trident, and partying endlessly on fire. (Sorry Dan Brown for using these images again that attribute to a devil)
But Rommel had to open up the topic again last night and I had to defend myself.
Maybe it’s best that we never have known this thing ever. Then we wouldn’t have to deal with it. And of course, with our evilest inner selves. (Or maybe even outer)
But innocence days are over! It has been since Adam and Eve took bites of sins. And we now are to deal with evil ourselves whether we feel like it or not. And I believe that knowledge about enemies is the best way of arming oneself against them. And so as to evil. Because not recognizing evil is ignorance and, in its nature, is evil itself.
