Demons

So, here are my thoughts on demons.

Demons are not good or bad; they are just demons.

They can scare the shit out of you, and they can persuade you to do some really fucked up shit.  They are brutal and relentless.  If you have ever let a demon tell you what to do, you know that that shit is getting done no matter what.

At the end of the day, we do need demons.

Why?  They keep us safe.

If someone tries to assault me, I need the darkness of that demon to use my car key to attack the wind pipe of my assailant.

If I need to kill some motherfucker to protect my family and my values, I need a demon.  It does not feel good, but it is the truth.

Demons are necessary.  They cause trouble, and they will never be your best friend.  However, when shit gets fucked, you might need a demon to show you what's up.  They know darkness, and they know what they are doing.  They can help you in their own weird demon way.

To think that we need to exorcise them and pretend that the world does not need them is a bit extreme.

Demons have saved lives.  I know this.  They do not promote life, per se, but they often protect a person from death.  Why do they do this?   Hell if I know.  Maybe even demons, evil as they are, are just trying to help.  "Hey, I'm evil as fuck... What can I do for you?"

The world needs both dark and light.  Light may always win, but we need the dark to teach us how to live.  The dark teaches us how to be better humans.  The dark takes care of us when people get too evil.  The Universe has our back...

I guess my point is that you cannot hate on demons too much.  Yeah, they are a little evil; but, at the end of the day, you might need a little evil in your back pocket.  Keep your demons.  Just don't let them run your life if you can help it.

Sorry for all of the language, but maybe I was feeling a bit intense.  I think we should all embrace ourselves and even the dark sides.  We do not have to be picture perfect facebook ads for satisfaction.
