Everyone, everywhere. Some know, others don't--everyone has the silent influence that subtly changes our feelings and thoughts.

It's darkness might be questionable, all I can tell you is it has not been *loving* to me. I am not perfect, and I have done wrong, but I believe myself to be a good person. More than that, I have witnessed it helping people who are most certainly nowhere near as "good" as me. That is the truth.

It is my estimation that its goals are not aligned with those of humanity as a whole, simply because of its need to use deception, and criminals to assist it. It has, in the past, subverted the law and morals of humanity in order to achieve its goals. At the same time, it is most likely responsible--at least in part--for the creation of those very same laws and morals.

In the end, we seem to be at its mercy because of our complete lack of togetherness and honesty which has allowed this infestation to come to the point where millions are aware and silent of its influence.

I hope it's not evil.
