How would you respond when someone close to you asks "Why are you so corrupted?"
I know this was just a random question and was never meant to be taken to heart, but still, I can't help but get it stuck in my head.
First of all, what defines corruptibility?
Is it the things you do? The things you watch? The things you say? Is it evil?
What then are the parameters of evil?
It's hard to address an issue that has no clear boundaries. It's even harder when it's something that is a grey area. Would you call a man who killed another evil?
Consider this: Brad killed Richard. But only because Richard was after your life.
Would you consider Brad evil?
Now, look at it this way: Brad killed Richard. Richard was killed because he was trying to kill someone might invoke a catastrophe in the near future.
So who is the evil one here?
Mind boggling, ain't it?
Ahh... the wonders of the world.
I guess if I have to give an answer to the question... it would be... "I am what I am because I am of the shadow and the light. But for you, I'm willing to be close to the light... to be a better person for you."
