Sins are often forgotten. Brain molecules are overwritten, cell pathways erased, as good conquers evil. The righteous actions that ignite enlightenment and solace for the sins we can't remember are also eventually forgotten, because evil also devours virtue in what priests and monks refer to as an ancient and everlasting battle.
Some people live out their lives in solitude. We see them in quiet jobs, alone in libraries and coffee shops. They patiently wait out the battle for the day when the struggle ends and they finally know tranquility
Others choose action, to play their roles as instruments, weapons, sometimes for the forces of good and sometimes for the forces of evil. Iβve chosen to add my flavor of mayhem to the world, inspired in forgotten nightmares and during quiet car rides home after the job has drained the last drops of energy and self-respect.
Without the battle humanity certainly would be boring. Unfortunately for all of us nothing is quite so dull as serenity.
