The Abyss and Heroes of Light

     Humanity is this careful balance between the light and the dark. We try to be good and do what's right but there is always something in the back of our minds, some primal urge, to do what is wrong. No one is above reproach. Not Suzy from down the street or even the Pope. This is just a flaw in humanity but not one that has to control us or consume us. No. For many there is always this looming darkness from whence they can't escape. Tendrils of ebony reach out pulling at the mind and puppet the body. We often use heroes or idols to show us the light. That perfect state of both mind and body that sets us above reproach from the forces that try to drag us down. Unfortunately some of these individuals are more corrupt then the forces they oppose. Power corrupts. This never changes. You can only be the light for you. It is only with in yourself that you can realize your potential for goodness and yes it will be different for everyone and that's fine. You don't have to live up to some stranger or societies expectations on good or bad. Society itself has corrupted these ideals. It is only you who can decide and change who you are. Others can help but it is entirely upon your own shoulders to change and make yourself better. Make no mistake though, as I said above we have to sustain this careful balance. Too much good can be just as bad as too much evil. We are beings of chaos after all.
     On the topic of chaos I bring to you a book I am in the process of reading called Hoodoopocalypse by Kim Wells. I am still in the early chapters of this book but I can tell you that it is very interesting. It's not often I see the apocalypse brought on by these forces. I wont spoil anything for you but if you like reading books set in and related to the deep south as well as some of the lesser known magics that reside here I suggest picking this up. Its a short read measuring only 174 pages but these pages are used extremely efficiently.
