“The afterthoughts of an interview with the Devil”
He said “I’m not a monster.”
Maybe he is and maybe he’s not, but the one thing that he for sure is, is convincing. He talked about what he does and does not do openly.
If even for a brief minute.
I’m convinced that evil is relative. It all comes down to which side of the fence you are on. Which team. The other guy is always the bad guy. Taking what’s mine. Wanting my stuff.
Well, maybe, just maybe, they are thinking the same thing?
It comes down to us against them and they are bad and we are good.
God ( us ) versus Devil ( them ).
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t condone the devil. I think he has a hand in every evil thing in this world. But, he is legend too. An easy way out. A “the devil made me do it” way out. A scape goat for people that need someone to blame. Because, heaven forbid we blame ourselves.
And, in my mind, that’s what my story was about.
Believe in God or believe in the Devil, it really doesn’t matter as much as believing in yourself. Being good because it matters. Not because you are scared God will be pissed, or the Devil will grab you up if you don’t.
