I am obssessed with the book I'm reading, Dante's Inferno. It brought up a very interesting point...There are good people and bad people, no gray areas, no inbetween.
"These wretches never born and never dead
ran naked in a swarm of wasps and hornets
that goaded them the more they fled,
and made their faces stream with bloody gouts
of pus and tears that dribble to their feet
to be swallowed there by loathsome worms and maggots."
They took no side, therefore they were given no place.They pursued the ever-shifting illusion of their own advantage, so they pursue an ever-shifting banter. As their sin was a darkness, so they move in the dark. As their own guilty conscience pursued them, so they are pursued by wasps and hornets. And as their actions were a moral filth, so they run through the filth of worms and maggots on which they themselves feed.
A lot for your brain to chew on, no?
