Disarming Evil

Lights in the windows of the United States embassy in Kabul on Sunday night.

Have you never noticed how inherently naive 

the good are, prepared to believe in the best 

of human nature. They are so touchingly trusting

like children whose nurturing parents have 

never denied them their fantasies. They cling 

to their belief in the universality of good in 

human nature that in good time sociopaths 

will see the error of their ways and reform 

themselves for the betterment of humankind. 

Have you ever noticed that the innocence of 

the good is happily exploited by psychopaths 

more cunning than those they have contempt 

for and knowing how the good are motivated

moved to make full use of any opportunity to 

turn their trust to the favour of the malevolence

beating in the heartless souls of incontrovertible 

menaces to the peace and security of a complacent

world in its embrace of benevolence toward

all in the firm belief of its mellowing power.
