The Search for Evil

Everyday I lived, everything I learned, I spend many days considering my past and contemplating my future. Even then, one of the topics that convoluted my mind is my past pain, my mistakes and things I've done for things I loved. Eventually, I realize that everything was done for naught, and I recognize the issues my "just" way of life.

Everybody in this world believes in justice, whether that is the legal form of justice, divine intervention or personal satisfaction. But, because we are all so different, our opinions tend to spread out into a spectrum of good and evil. Now I can confidently say that I have no interest in people who are pure evil, as their logic and reasoning will clearly be beyond mine. I have never understood the need to hurt another, but I do understand the lack of reason required when helping another.

This is where evil people are so incredible and necessary. We all need a side that wants to push others down and elevate ourselves. To crush someone's spirit mercilessly and teach them a lesson in pain. Yet, more often than not, most people can't do something like that on will and then switch over to a nice side quickly. This skill is most useful in life, and even more useful when dealing with those who are unneeded.

Most people aren't evil enough to do this, and we can't really blame them. The key with being evil isn't about the who, where, why and how. It's all about when you do it. To be able to use it to your advantage and keep it under control is the important part. On my new search, maybe, I'll encounter the evil I'm looking for.
