Evil

Evil is knowing your selfish behavior is causing another person injury and/or pain

And enjoying that aspect

If your selfish behavior is causing another person injury and/or pain

And you are oblivious

You are lacking compassion

And if it causes you yourself pain

You are too indulgent and obsessed with your own feelings

Which could also be said about the first character in this story

But you are also too hard on yourself

Which I suppose maybe they are not (?)

So the moral of the story is that we are ALL lacking compassion

For others

For ourselves

Truth Always

When you don't tell people the truth

You rob them of livng in their own authenticity

You rob them of the chance to truly participate

And maybe

Probably

Even make it better

There's always a win/win

Somewhere

Somehow

So lying

Is truly the  most loathsome

And selfish sin there is
