Are any of you familiar with Carl Jung? If not, then I suggest you do.

But that is not my reason to come to you today. Rather it is to, perhaps, open your eyes should you chose to do so.

What makes good, good and evil, evil? Should both be simply placed as one or the other? If the 'evil' become the ruling force, would the rules be reversed? If someone steps up to remove a tyrant, are they doing good, or, in the eyes of others, are they being the ones who are evil?

...Or are we what makes these forces exist in the first place? Can good be really called good if there is no evil to defeat, no goal for them to attain?

You were all called here for a reason, but should you believe one side...or the other about what is the truth? As we become more enlightened, we tend to forget what came before. And as history has a tendency to repeat itself...

A man looks above to the nearby mountain. He knows not how it was made, and therefore decides that a god put it there. Is this man false? Scientifically, perhaps, we know that mountains are produced by the movement of lithospheric plates. Yet when we knew nothing of this, we saw the truth in a god. And so, this idea is born and now exists. Man gave it power, and the ability to create the mountain is now that god's.

Personas are reflections of a character's inner self, yet they are the gods, demons and powerful creatures of our worlds.

So then...can a man become a god...or was he always one?

I believe that in and of itself is up to the individual. One could have the most sincere of intentions, yet be viewed as a villain for what actions they have chosen and how they perform them on the path they tread. No two individuals will see the same situation in the same light, after all.

"Good" is only good whilst it rings with well-meant intentions, as does "evil" when it reeks of malevolence. They are the opposing sides of the same coin. The same could be said of many things, as well: Life stagnates when there is no death. There is no meaning, no moments of joy or truths to cherish if there is not grief and sadness.

As for gods...

For some they exist, for others... they do not. Perhaps they are simply unseen catalysts for events that could be explained by human-developed sciences. However, is it not rude to deny that which can be brought to light?

In short, they all can be considered constructs of the mind. Yet I believe you already know this, son of man.

And you feel you wish to discuss the matter with me? I should feel honored.

Rudeness depends on the light brought forth.

And indeed I do.

It is not often that I find others speaking on topics such as this. Most I have witnessed choose to willingly blind themselves in their lifetimes.

It is a shame that most would automatically take written or typed words in such a negative light.

As we both know, and as I believe the saying goes, 'ignorance is bliss'.

Precisely.
