This is close to what you say in your first paragraph. Follow it through, and you force yourself to explore <i>why</i> the characters act the way they do, with good and evil actions emerging from their individual situations.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880009964581841972.post-51071179404346829132012-04-07T16:35:46.457-07:002012-04-07T16:35:46.457-07:00Rettakat: What a wonderful quote!

V...Rettakat: What a wonderful quote! And how true?<br /><br />Volumes and volumes have been written about this subject and it seems like everyone has to find their own voice about good vs evil. Others choose to embrace the evil and abhor the good. So it is an individual choice, as are most things in our universe.Karen Elizabeth Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190485992966502931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880009964581841972.post-36109615482882076552012-04-07T16:13:59.163-07:002012-04-07T16:13:59.163-07:00Fascinating subject.

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?” <br />― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.com
