One Or the Other
No, my friend,
we are neither pure good nor pure evil
but
we are both good and evil!
Look
at all these pairs of opposite forces bellow:
hope and fear
courage and cowardice
success and failure
pleasure and suffering
happiness and unhappiness
knowledge and ignorance
virtue and vice
love and hate
They
are all coexisting in one's soul in perfect harmony
till
the moment we are called upon a decision to take
then
a vicious war of domination begins between the opponents
that
usually, lasts a lifetime
and
pending who the winner of this conflict is,
we, my beloved friend, become one or
the other! *
