EVIL NEVER DIES IT ALWAYS SNEAKS BACK WHEN MANKIND LEAST EXPECTS IT WICKEDNESS SUBTLY MODIFIES ITS FORM, CHANGES NAMES AND SOLIDIFIES IN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PLACE: BUT MALEVOLENCE CAN NEVER BE ENTIRELY ERADICATED. EVIL CAN NEVER BE WHIPPED AWAY IT IS PART OF THE HUMAN PSYCHE: PART OF THE HUMAN MIND THAT, AFTER EVERY HOLLOW VICTORY, SIMPLY EVAPORATES FROM SIGHT BEFORE EVENTUALLY RETURNING TO PLAGUE MANKIND- BUT ONLY AFTER BEING TRANSFORMED INTO SOMETHING A HUNDRED TIMES MORE SINISTER. BECOMING A MARTYR NEVER PROVES AN INDIVIDUAL'S MATURITY OR METTLE. IT'S BEING PREPARED TO SACRIFICE OUR ALL AND EVERYTHING. WHAT WE LOVE OR CHERISH ULTIMATELY DETERMINES AND EVENTUALLY REVEALS A PERSON'S TRUE CHARACTER. WHAT WE ARE PREPARED TO BELIEVE - TO LIVE FOR - STAND FOR IN THE FACE OF DEATH EVERY LONELY DAY OF LIFE, THOSE ARE THE ONLY THINGS IN THIS WORLD EVER REALLY WORTH DYING FOR EDICTS EMBODIED BY WHAT WE HOLD AND SEE: THE MIRROR AND THE SWAN
