“The potential for evil lodges deep in every man. We restrain it better, keep it buried deeper, but it lives within us. I was forced to bring it out of concealment in order to protect myself.
The trouble is that once brought so far out of its cage, a man’s evil is reluctant thereafter to be contained. It presses against the bars. It is more anxious to escape. More prepared. And having lived in such close proximity to it, I am more vulnerable to the possibility of that escape.
We are always being tested in life, aren’t we? This is just one more instance.”
~ Bremen
