The Evil In Goodness

They say there is a fine line between good and evil. But who is to say what may be good? And who is to say what may be evil? It would seem not unreal to say the respective answer is a matter of perspective. We can be righteous in a world of distortion. Or are we distorted in a world of righteousness? Are the innocent truly guilty? Or is it the guilty, wrongly sentenced in innocence? Do we send away those we wish not to see? Or are those wishing not to be seen trying to get away? Is it right to commit evil deeds in the name or right to be right? Or does all this talk of righteousness have roots of evil? It is clear that this line may have at one time been fine. However, never can this line be seen anymore, for this line. Of divine. Of evil. Is no longer visible.
