This darkness.

I believe it is a manifestation of our own darkness, inside of us. Our sins, our sinful thoughts and our sinful ideas. We are a sinful race, us humans. We have let the darkness conquer our very soul. And now the darkness is conquering the world.

What is darkness if not the absence of light? Humanity has lost its light through its pursuit of materialistic wealth and earthly pleasures. We have sinned. And we are now being punished by the Devil himself.

The group, though seemingly nice at first, all hide their own darkness deep within them. I see hate in each and every one of them. And I hate them for it. I have not talked to any of them, because they are sinful and will not acknowledge it. They think this is caused by an external force, not by their own inner evils. They are very much mistaken.

Only Jay even entertains the idea of this darkness being borne out of our sinfulness. He does not fully agree. I don't know why. It might be that he thinks he is some kind of saint that thinks he is free of sin. How ignorant can one be?

But I'll still talk to him. He is a good person. Even in this time of darkness, he still manages to give me conversations that actually do matter. The ones that stir your mind.

Forgive us for our sins. For we are ignorant and arrogant
