So much black and white. Humans revel in it, in evil and good, clear labels, zero tolerance, heaven and hell. This makes you good. This makes you evil. For now and ever more. Rules remain. Labels stick. Tolerance dies. And understanding falters. We have labeled evil. Surely we must then have found a way to kill it? Why does it still lingers? Why is still here? Does it not see its own label?
And those who might understand, remain silent for the fear of the label. But they know. Humans come in shades of grey and some day, we'll paint us all black.
