The Devil We Create

The devil doesn't exist on his own, in and of himself. Someone opposed to the Devil is always the one who creates him, and he is always a myth. We call people the devil when they have some advantage over us-- cunning, power, amorality, ignorance-- that we don't care to inquire about, identify and understand. We create the devil when we give up and just blame them for winning without understanding, in a meaningful way, how they did it. To put it bluntly, our laziness is what creates the devil.
