THE DECLARATION OF EVIL

Good is a lie, a fake concept invented by those too weak to partake of Evil's blessings. Neutrality is indecision, an inability or unwillingness to realise the true attraction of Evil. They cannot, or will not, accept the teachings of Evil, whether it is through an inability to recognise its true strength, or simple mortal pride that they can resist the "taint" of Evil. Evil is the true teaching, the strident call few can resist.
Evil exists in the soul of every living creature. This is because mortals cannot attain true perfection, whether it is with the falsehoods of Good, the indecisions of Neutrality, or the true subtleties of Evil. Even the souls of the first martyrs of the Shallam Church contained grains of Evil within them - verily, even modern souls supposedly of truly seraphic nature have their dark sides. Whether it is arrogance, greed, selfishness, pride, or a host of other qualities, Evil lurks within us all.
It is in fact a measure of our inner strength as to how we deal with this dark self. Some would never think of it and indeed seek out and destroy those who are termed "Evil". These are the main proponents of the falsehoods of Good. Others would do nothing so foolish, yet not recognise its true potential, these perpetuating the indecisions of Neutrality. Only those that recognise and release the dark energies contained within our fragile, mortal, bodies can be considered truly Evil - and those that don't, are either too scared, or too weak.
They say it is the nature of Evil to be fragmented, disparate, fighting at each other's throats - a cacophony of power-crazed tyrants plotting against each other in an eternal spiral of contempt and hatred. I say that it is no such thing - that it is a lie, mere propaganda put about by the so-called "forces" of Good to reassure themselves that Evil is merely a broken and warring faction that has no inherent strength.
I would be the first to push for a united front of Evil, but Evil has not those dissolute, chaotic, extremes so put about by Good and Neutrality. If anything, Neutrality's indecision causes their own power to be greatly dissolved. Indeed, Evil is strong, cohesive, a force to remember - just like the "Good" liars, and that scares them. Indeed, the meek shall never inherit the earth, for they have not the might to do so.
Might is right, but it does not necessarily bring right. However, it is the right and duty of all those with power to establish themselves over their weaker companions, so that their foolish natures may be held in check by the rightful application of force. However, brute force is to be despised. A Troll of subhuman intelligence, but supernatural strength, is still weak, as it lacks the power to implement its strength effectively. Not all strength is physical, not all might is tangible. Only those who are truly strong will recognise this fine distinction.
Evil is merely the pursuit of dominance over the weak.
