The Devil and Miss Prym
So you see, Good and Evil have the same face; it all depends on when they cross the path of each individual human being.
In the beginning, there was only a small amount of injustice abroad in the world, but everyone who came afterwards added their portion, always thinking it was very small and unimportant, and look where we have ended today.
It isn't the desire to abide by the law that makes everyone behave as society requires, but the fear of punishment. Each of us carries a gallows inside us.
If compassion exists, I will accept that fate was harsh to me, but that sometimes it can be gentle with others.
Perhaps the fight between Good and Evil is raging all time in every individual's heart, which is the battleground for all angels and devils; they would fight inch by inch for thousands of millennia in order to gain ground, until one of them finally vanquished the other.
Because silence doesn't always mean consent - usually all it meant was that people were incapable of coming up with an immediate response. If people did not agree, they would later torture themselves with the idea that they had accepted without really wanting to, and the consequences of that could be grave.
Life can seem either very long or very short, according to how you live it.
