We have read folklore on the Satan. I used to wonder how they
actually look like. How they torture human...etc. We all know now who they are.
They live among us hidden under a hood impervious to human eyes. They are no
more humans and only look like one. They prey on their own kind to satiate
their Satanism. The worst part is its not something in black and white so that
one can weed out the blacks from the white. It exists in grey and to a certain
degree in all. Sometimes it feels like a hell we are living in where either one
is a victim himself/herself or is the one victimizing others or is the one who
is a witness to the squalid act.
Devils thrive in vulnerability, poverty, fear, hunger and
sometimes in abundance. This explains the direct correlation between spurts in crimes
with increase in poverty. We all are some way responsible for the cancerous
spread of the devil that has penetrated so deeply among us. We all have
continued to ignore it for the fear of getting a taste of the vile our self
which is dark and in unknown territories and the unknown is scary. The devil
showed its face in the scariest form on Dec 16, 2012 in Delhi. The ghastly
incident brings to fore the perversity of the Satan in our society. Sometimes
it feels maybe we have to endure this horror and live in fear of the dark for
some sin we have committed in our past lives. We are scared of being a victim
of the devil. Maybe we simply have to endure this fear for in the face of
adversities we awake to our own powers. I wonder how much of demonism a man has
to endure to be free from everything. Running away is never a solution. We can
run away from external malign but how do we run from ourselves? We have to experience
these dark emotions and realize our own vulnerability to things and the fact that
it’s all within us and then only we can be free.
