"A Tale Of Two Men"

by LM Blair

Once upon a time there were two men. One of these men had the spirit of light and love. The other had the spirit of darkness and hatred.

The two men were irreconcilable, but the man of light never sought to destroy the man of darkness for hatred toward another was not what he preferred to demonstrate.

To the contrary the man of darkness and evil daily sought out to destroy all that The man of light loved. He was never content with peace and harmony.

Every person that the evil man did evil to became damaged and lost they their ability to be loving over time. The man of light and love noticed the darkness and evil spread amongst those he loved that was once full of light and love.

The damage was so vast the man of light began to feel outnumbered. Even when he tried to restore the light and love to those recently affected by evil.. By being more loving to the ones he loved..There was resistance.

The man of light not understanding why the efforts of evil and darkness was so effective on so many, yet difficult was resisted by himself over and over again.

The man of light realized that many could not resist the injection of hatred and darkness that was given to them by the man of darkness.. No matter how hard he tried to be an example of how not to yield to the spread of evil and darkness.

The man of light began to feel more and more alone, he began to question why has evil seemed to prevail so easily?

The man of light and love began to mourn for others that he has witnessed the effects of what the man of evil and darkness has done to the many he loved.

The man of light and love pondered the following dilemma... How do I stop the man of darkness and evil from damaging another loving person.. Without himself doing evil and darkness to stop the man of evil and darkness because it appears that being of the light and love is being on a losing side?

Does The man of light leave and retreat and just counts those he once loved a loss?

Does this man of light change sides just to destroy evil?

If so does that action now make him lose his innocence?

Does the man of light move on send out a distress signal hoping to find support and reinforcements from the side of light and love?

Does the man of light accept what he cannot change as in the understanding that those that have lost their ability to be of light and love didn't realize that they had the power the entire time to refuse to buy into what the man of evil and darkness was trying to sell?

Does the man of light just continue to be that representative of light and love regardless of how many acknowledge the benefits of being loving or not?

How does the man of light and love turn a blind eye to the devastation he sees to the innocent without becoming wrathful and evil himself to try and stop it's spread?

Or is just light and love, evil and darkness just a matter of perspectives and in the grand scheme of things it is all allowed? No matter the pain and suffering and devastation it causes?
