do not listen to this man he is evil
Volumes have charted the history of man's cruelty and tyranny. How many have considered the essential role of villainy in human development? An impartial survey would no doubt qualify the villain as unsung hero. While fusty religionists still cast Satanists in the old, convenient mold, the readily obtainable literature of contemporary Satanism has inspired change in religious thought. Can we expect such an admission by modern theologians? Of course not. It is always a villain, however, who becomes the catalyst for change. A villain is said to be bad, but an apathetic drone is far worse. A villain must be stigmatized so that his opponents can be considered heroic. These heroes are simply reactors who implement a change in affairs sometimes mistaken for "progress." What sets human reaction in motion? A force which is either intrinsically or contrivedly considered "evil."
In order for evil to serve an admirable purpose, it must have method. The lowest level would-be Satanist who thinks he is justifying his existence by commiting "evil" acts is the most deluded of all. As has been amply proven, Deep South renegades like Huey Long and George Wallace -- certainly considered evil by many -- nevertheless exerted reaction on a large scale.The creep whose "evil" deed for the day consists of pulling the wings off a butterfly invariably causes no productive reaction. He cannot rightly be considered evil. Simply moronic.The more grandiose the villain, the more beneficent he is to society. The small-time villain affects only the microcosm in which he operates, unless his act of villainy is considered so heinous that it spreads beyond his normal sphere of influence. When a villain attains universality, he is endowed with the mantle of devildom. However, if a real villain does not come forward to serve as a convenient embodiment of evil -- thereby serving the goodguy's cause -- such a person must be developed and sometimes invented.If evil were by chance eradicated, the race would die of inertia ... at least under existing standards of mental and emotional development. That the villain is the most formidable enemy of boredom was proven in a rather quaint manner by a short - lived tabloid called Good News. Feeling that the populace was weary of the standard journalistic fare of murder, rape, war, riot, scandal and catastrophe, Good News printed just that -- good news. It valiantly lasted two or three issues b efore its not untimely demise. Why did it die? Good news is only really good to those directly involved. Most people lead such futile and useless lives that only bad news makes them feel better. If not better, certainly gooder. If one cannot gain recognition for anything else, he can rest well with the assurance that he is "good," which in most cases equates with "right". Were it not for an evil to rail against he might just as well never have been born. Yes, evil is the great savior and sustainer of those who condemn it most.
There is no definite evil that can be defined. But evil People are necessary for good people to exist, because without the evil who would be able to claim the good position? This is where people like myself come in... So many people have called me an abhorrent monster, an evil-doer and some have called me an Angel. Let's focus on the Evil. So many people have successfully pulled Themselves off as good and gained the approval of hundreds because Of my 'evil'.
In this, I Truly am the most righteous person... I'm the creator of Good.
Still an effective quote that saves a lot of time.
Opposition is needed to strengthen both sides. With too much peace people become weaker (like your earlier inertia point). It's why in many walks of life the friendly rival is seen as something useful. Sometimes focusing on the specifics of the opposition serves to miss the point of opposition in the first place. If referring to themselves as a "villain", they more than likely reached that point from enough accusation to push them "living the label". The idea of "Hero vs Villain" is black and white thinking, highly unrealistic and idealistic.
There is no "evil", simply "the other side". Such a value is both relative and subject to interpretation.
