Do You Ever Feel the Desire to be Evil?

Most of the time, I'm a balance. Righteousness and Evil rolled together and stored inside one body of humanity, being a pillar of support to this world and its continued existence. However, when that balance is disrupted by topics or people, the other side becomes much greater, and it presents itself as the dominant factor. Just recently, I have stirred the nest of the religious people, and it has brought a lot of religious out in defense of their self-declared righteousness. Are they truly righteous down to the last drop? Probably not, so it shouldn't bug me much, but the idea of it makes me think that there is a need to counterbalance that supposed righteousness. In times like that, the darkness swells, and the desire to be evil surfaces. Why? Because I'm a balance. That's how it works. Since I'm more tangled with those of the Christian faiths, my focus lies there. I don't know much about the antagonists of the other religions to use them as an open reference. So let's talk about Revelations, chapter 13. This is when the Beast arises from the sea (of humanity) or something to that effect, and starts to take over. There's reference to the number 666, but people are conflicted to what this means. Well, first off, I don't think I'm as weak as something like the beast, but I might not be unrelated to it. My name, Morgan, comes from the Welsh word Morcant, which means 'sea circle', or 'from the sea'. 13 is my lucky number, while 7 is my unlucky number. Every 8 years of my life, I face death in a terrifying manner. These events are preceded by an event where millions of people died in the middle ages by disasters and cataclysms. The gap between these cataclysms and my events, is 666 years. There have been 5 to date. Five seals, perhaps? Number 6 is coming in four years... Very recently, I have made a post about the coming of a dark god that will attempt to unite humanity and change the world. To promote peace in these chaotic times. Again, while I doubt that he is the beast, he might not be unrelated to it. Kind of a scary coincidence, don't you think? But then again, I am a storyteller, so how much of this is true, and how much is simply a story using what I know? To continue the story/truth/whichever you want to believe, on my body, after each event I am given a constellation in freckles. Their meanings to date are the following: Gate of the Gods, The Destroyer, Eternal Suffering, The Dragon, and The King. I also have a stigmata and the Eye of Providence. Perhaps my body is the key to the end days? Oh, and there is also a perfect isosceles triangle. Perhaps that's the Trinity? In any case, going back to the desire to be evil... the more you talk about religion, the more I want to destroy it and go evil. So getting it off the table... as I frequently suggest, is perhaps the safer route for everyone. After all, you're tilting that balance too far to one side, and it can only go so far before it collapses!

I do have a darkside and I wont enter politics because it will awaken my darkside. I am better as a civilian.

I avoid politics because it definitely awakes the dark side! It's a good policy to avoid it. Why seek out things that make you angry? That's what I have learned. Thanks for stopping by!

@OneOfMany Many Politicians started with good intentions but look what they end up. the worst kind of evil are people who thinks they are doing the right thing like Pol Pot.

@CaptAlbertWhisker One of my hay workers wanted to get into politics early, but I suggested he gets known in the community before he goes into it. Then he can see what is really happening, rather than being influenced by his classes.

I actually feel that I am more of a bad person than a good person. I do not like to be a hypocrite and sometimes it is easier to be bad. A lot of righteous people believe they are actually going to heaven when actually they are the complete opposite.

I've noticed a lot of self-proclaimed 'righteous' people are really sadistic and pretty evil with the way they think. If you think like they do, then it's all peace and happiness, but if your opinion is slightly different, they really go after you! I guess it depends on what you feel you are doing that would be bad.

@mlgen1037 I was once called over by an old biker gang, and they looked really scary, but I went over anyway. They were really nice people, they just had a gruff exterior. They were just interested to talk to someone new. It's the sweet, innocent ones that are the dangerous ones!

@OneOfMany Yes thats true. I would rather believe that people who look scary and bad are actually the nicest people. As they say, do not be fooled by what you see.

You should go meet an exorcist... and exorcize him! I agree balance is required, light wouldn't make sense if there was no dark and good wouldn't make sense if there was no evil. Other things have no opposition, such as time. What's the opposite of time? I believe in nature, where duality is constant. That's why I love even numbers. I'm not sure I feel evil when I'm evil, or if I've ever been evil. I often think some people should be taught lessons but that's just for their own good, they must learn from their mistakes. After all, I'm a hopeless optimistic, I try to see the good in everything, and everyone.

@OneOfMany Is void also absence of space? That could make time and space one thing. What's the definition of evil? Is evil subjective all the time?

@sabtraversa I think time and space are one and the same. At the very outer edge of the universe, where it is just void, space has yet to come into contact with it. Time is a property of space. Probably why it's said as 'time and space' rather than 'time or space'.

I'm also an optimist! I have hope in the people of this world to do the right things concerning the future, and not give in to the desire for things to be destroyed just because there's a ride for them to the afterlife. Hmmm... the opposite of time... is space? I initially thought of void, which is the absence of time. After all, in a void, time has no meaning. So probably that's the opposite. I had an entire class on evil in society. That was a good class. I think everyone should have an introduction to what evil actually is, and what it isn't. A different point of view can look like evil, but also be just a different point of view, that is good to those following it. I stay away from exorcists and psychologists!

Of course I have the desire to be evil. It is human nature, after all. Some people don't want to accept or believe that, but consider that when a four-year-old says that the dog broke the lamp, the mom's reply is usually, "Are you telling me the truth?" Apparently the mom didn't teach the child how to blame someone else, he instinctively knew to do that. I also consider the sad reality that there are scam artists getting to natural disasters before the Red Cross and the Salvation Army make it. We had a flood here not too long ago, and with it came fly-by-night "restoration" companies and "fund-raising." Bottom line: I think we're a lot less 'good' than we give ourselves credit for.

@OneOfMany -- Yes, if you remove the reason to steal, they will still steal. Consider so-called "white collar crimes," where all of these millionaires have milked investors out of additional millions. I'm content with a few hundred dollars in the bank, so I don't comprehend how much is "enough" when millionaires scam people.

The inherent evil of men is a lot stronger than the desire to do good. It's like people stealing from the elderly through fraud. It's what they do. Although, people steal because they have a reason to do so. If you remove the reason, will they still do so? That's certainly worth pondering. And you have a good point... who teaches a child to place blame on another? Did they learn by watching the integrity of the parents (or other caregivers), or is it innate to not accept responsibility?

Many a time I wish to be a devil and do whatever I wanted. But, you know society...

Yes, society tends to frown upon that. :D
