Good vs. Evil, Light vs. Dark etc have had a long battle since the beginning of the intellectual era of mankind. Evil/Dark is always frowned upon. It has been revolted against so much that any talk, discussion on it is seen as blasphemy.

Once in a while whenever we have that nice content meal at a restaurant.. which really fills you up.. the craving to just lie down for few Min’s to rest the awesome task your tummy just did, kicks in. Of course this is a luxury we don’t usually get
