Quote – “To Kill or to Embrace the Monster” – 1/9/2022

“There is a monster in each of us, dying to be let loose. When we subdue the monster, we hurl it back in its cage. Can we kill it? We cannot. Our true outcome should be to embrace the beast, and then watch it weep. Why does the monster release these tears? It is because a single touch is enough to let it recall the humanity it had lost. Although, the embrace is not enough. One must work to come close enough to the monster to lay a hand upon it. Whether to attempt to kill it or to embrace it, there is always a weakness to look for. There is always the guard that had been dropped.”
