Cynthia’s Story
How much is evil present in me and the world? Let me invoke the G-word: Genocide. The word genocidal is taboo when speaking of oneself or one's group. Meanwhile, we kill our kind en masse by following leaders who ask us to surrender our sanity and inflict horrendous multi-generational burdens.
Could genocidal ideation feed my appetite for multi-season murder mysteries that focus on serial killing? Don't I live in a home purchased out of the inheritance accrued from my father's job in the aerospace industry, securing our weapons of mass destruction? And what about my privileged lifestyle bought at the cost of those people of color killed off by disease, land grabbing, abuse, and slaughter? And, am I not a citizen of a country that calls itself Protector and generically kills innocent people?
I want to separate myself, but I am not separate. I am part of a Gencoidal legacy that is the collective opposite of Love and, therefore, Evil.
