#0104. We fools surrender our idea of evil. It is too black and white we say. Alice disagrees. What is evil? she will ask you. You cannot answer. You sputter about circumstance and brain morphology and synapses and chemicals and life experience. She shakes her head and lets the cinnamon scent of her hair fall like stardust. Evil is evil. It is a primary function. There is good and there is evil. And when we whitewash sins and we unravel decency, evil always prevails. It is lodged in our hearts. The cursing soldier waits to crawl out of your chest at night.
