It's an interesting thing, struggling with badness.
Most people are always trying to tackle goodness. See little situation where they can do some 'good' or whatever. Giving the extra couple bucks at Whole Foods or CVS for the starving children, or whatever cause celeb is current wherever they are.
Some people even take it another step, go to marches or protests, and all that nonsense. PETA people yelling about how we treat animals, solidarity vigils, all kinds of crap that makes people feel good about doing 'good'.
Those people are fine. But wrestling with badness is different. People know you're bad. You're always stuffing down bad habits; from snaky remarks to hard drink.
Badness. It's a fight worth having, I think. But it's a hard one. And it's one that comes with the understanding that you are a bad person. I haven't done too much evil in this world. But I may be a bad person. I fear that I am.
I'm definitely weak. Which is bad.
Pure evidence of weakness is how bad this post is.
Better and better, right Norman?
