#0072. It has become common to not believe in evil. It has become common to paint cruelty and devastation with a brush of compassion and empathy, seeking humane ground, seeking knowledge, understanding, connectivity. Evil gets relegated to simplistic folk, people too ignorant and guileless to perceive the gray nuance of existence. But it is another lie. Dirty things, lies. Evil is real. It lives among you. It hops from shoulder to shoulder. Devils pull at your beard. Devils lick salt from your weeping eyes. They are there in the hearts of oppressors and instigators to violence. Ignore the Devils at your peril. But, no, you ignore that at all of our peril.
