No, Don’t fear the evil man!

No,

Don’t fear the evil man!

.

Never fear the tyrant, the bully, the thug, or the serial killer.

Never fear the Narcissist or the Sadist

For all of these, are at heart, simple creatures.

They only want to be feared, and respected, to have power, fame, and wealth.

They are just evil humans.

.

Instead, be terrified of the one who is willing to make the hard decisions that no one else is willing to.

- including self-sacrifice of reputation, health, life, and honour, without any acknowledgement of their deeds.

The ones that cannot be threatened or bribed or negotiated with

The ones that care nothing for glory or medals or fame.

The one willing to selflessly lose all friends and family and be seen as vile beyond compare, to protect the right secrets.

Fear the ones that do not value their own good name!

Be truly afraid of the good person who will at the cost of everything,

Will always,

"Do what is necessary”!

"For the greater good"

“At any and at all costs”

.

Because THESE are the truly terrifying monsters!

These are the unrepentant ones!

.

No,

Don’t fear the evil man!

Instead fear the good one!
