I stopped believing in good guys and bad guys. The bad guys sometimes do good things and the good guys sometimes do bad things. Then there’s the thing where the bad guys absolutely believe that the good guys are doing bad things and thus justify the bad things they do because they think the good guys are doing them too. The good guys know the bad guys do bad things but fail to acknowledge the bad things the good guys sometimes do which the bad guys use to justify the bad they must do in return. The good guys absolutely fail to acknowledge that sometimes the bad guys do good things except when it is going to war with other bad guys despite the fact that when bad guys go to war against each other it is usually a lot of good guys who die too. Usually at the hands of the bad guys they like more than the other bad guys they don’t but not always. Not only bad guys and good guys dying but also lots of guys who are just existing in some gray area. Actually, mostly these days it is the gray area dying. So, maybe it’s all gray. Maybe that’s what the bad guys and good guys are really killing here. The gray that just… Is. Maybe they are trying to kill the gray to will the good and bad into existence. Or, at least, think that there is more of it than there really is. But, maybe there is no good and bad. Maybe two competing truths can be true at once. Maybe the good guys can be bad guys and the bad guys can be good guys and if that’s the case how can there be bad guys and good guys? There can only be bad/good guys and good/bad guys. So, yeah, they don’t exist.
