There is an ancient story
about two brothers,
Cain and Abel.
Cain did not pursue nobility,
but his brother did.
So instead of Cain dealing with
the darkness within himself,
he wasted his time cultivating
jealousy for Abel
until it overcame Cain
like a virus.
Then, once the self-inflicted disease
of hatred
had totally consumed Cain,
like a zombie he went out
and murdered his brother in the field.
This still happens today,
in families
in companies
in communities
with nations.
Do not be like Cain.
"Self-inflicted disease"... such a great way to put it.
