Evil

There is certainity and strength in evil- no scope for apologies or remorse. A pride in its being itself.

If we know something is evil and there is unanimity in its recognition then how come it still exists and we can't boycott it? Muddling still is the fact that one man's good is another man's evil. To add to confusion, there are times and circumstances where evil is necessary for good.

Duality in everything shows that a balance should always exist. We were meant to be evil in parts. We secretly understand and accept our capacity for evil. It doesnt guise itself from our concious thoughts, we pretend that we see it guised as good, so that serves as our excuse for its very existence inside us.

Black is simply an absence of all reflection of light. Something that takes in the light that falls on it and does not emit anything back.

Killing is Evil; unless you're a soldier - then its good that you deprive a total stranger's right to exist to the end of his natural life and get paid for this service rendered.

Lying is Evil; unless you want to shield the people you love from pain.

Stealing is Evil; But a state, a Money lender or King can legitimately rob people of their posessions rightfully.

To hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil- you must either be unborn or dead.

So why the 'Holier than thou' act? If one is frank about his wrongs, does it not make him good for not trying to hide it?
An undeniable part of everyone is not only the capacity to do but also to be evil.
Evil is just so damn attractive cos its boldly whole and not expressed in weak and pathetic fractions like gray area between the black and white or half-truths.

Kahlil Gibran got it spot on when he said-

Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil.
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts, it drinks even of dead waters.

You are good when you are one with yourself.
Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil.

You are good in countless ways, and you are not evil when you are not good.

Live and Evil,
