When I speak of the "human darkness" and "I know my darkness", take a look at our entertainment industry to see what I am talking about.

Every depraved story depicted in movies as fiction, came from us. Emerged through us.

Every act of evil and malice, was first imagined by a human being. Every fictional villain is a confession.

Every atrocity, every crime comes from the human psyche first. Then we make entertainment of it and say "it's only fiction, it's not real".

But the nature that made it, imagined it, is real. And that psyche is capable of doing it also. If you think otherwise.. well..

Do you know the depths of your own darkness? The things you are capable of?

I doubt it. It is too much for a "well adjusted human being" to accept, to internalize. It is too much.

But the human darkness is limitless.

And so is our capacity for good.

What we judge in another, is also in us. By condemning another, we condemn ourselves.

But I do not doubt that the powerful are capable of cannibalism or ritual rape and murder. I do not doubt it for a second.

If this triggers you, you are "well adjusted" and you would say "I could never do that".

But you could. Not now. Maybe not tomorrow. But if the conditions were just perfectly so, you could. And if we are to build a better tomorrow, we must know this about ourselves. We must be honest with ourselves.
