The Nature of Evil
People are evil.
Inherently evil. All of us. Even you. Especially you.
They say your doppelganger is your double, who is everything bad about you that you try to repress, and if you meet them, you will self-destruct because you won’t be able to handle all the evil in yourself. But what if you yourself are the doppelganger (you are!) and there’s a “good you” running around in the world just waiting to meet you and implode?
I’m pretty sure that’s how it works.
I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m deriding you so and saying malicious things to your detriment. Is it because I am evil? Sure. But that’s not the only reason.
Let’s say I told you I hate people touching my hair (I don’t hate this (but for this example (because I don’t want to give a real example)) let’s say this). What would your first impulse be? To touch my hair. Because you are evil. Inherently.
So am I. So you’re in good company (me, evidently).
About ten years ago, I used my wish-for-life. I wished I would never again hear a particular song. A song that I hated beyond all other songs. My wish came true, and I am content. Since that day, I have not heard that infernal song. I didn’t waste my wish. But if I told you the song, you might be tempted to find a way to make me hear it. You might put it on your profile, so during one of my 28 daily visits to your page, I would hear it and my wish would be shattered, as would my life (because evidently, like meeting your doppelganger, you disintegrate if your wish-for-life is broken - thus proving itself a life-long wish fulfillment).
Therefore, you are evil.
But I still love you (kind of). Just don’t make me hear ‘Walk The Dinosaur’ by Was Not Was, OK? Thanks, pal. You’re super.
