Evil, like a virus, cannot survive outside the living br It does not dwell in the dark places of legend br but in the dark spaces of the mind. br And when the opportune moment arises br it rushes into the soul. br br While it waits for that moment br the mind feeds it with obsessive thoughts and delusions br Until it has grown strong enough to leave this nourishing womb br and take stronghold in places where love dwells. br br And if love has not been sustained br Evil exerts its dominance br as it takes permanent residence in the heart.
