Everyone's Got a Mr. Hyde Inside

[Dr. Jekyll]

Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll finds moral and social duties irreconcilable with his sinful tendencies and desires, so he famously concocts a serum that divides evil instincts from his moral intellectual, giving his own unrestrained evil a physical vehicle when it turns him into Mr. Hyde. As Mr. Hyde, he does as he pleases, having been set free from conscience and self-restraint.
Every one has good and evil within them. If you could, would you do as he did and set your evil free?
Why or why not?

Have you ever read the spoof version called "Dr Spamescu and Mr Bullshit"?
Very funny worthy read.
Yet get educated from it.
Eructations all round!
Very wonderful booklet.

'See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil' - is that the way to get rid of it? The meaning of it should not be taken literally. It does not mean at all to be blind. It is rather that one should see good things, hear good things and speak them. What if to transform it into 'See evil, Hear evil, Speak evil'? Where will this one bring you to? They spoke and still speak too much of it those and these days specifically. They show it now - colorful and tempting, glamorous evil. We become (d)evil's advocates. Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', for instance, speaks for itself. Contemporary news, literature, thoughts are teemed with evil. Evil has high ratings. The black has turned into the white. What's wrong with our world? Everything of moral nature has become immoral, everything what was right is wrong now, everything wrong – right, valuable – invaluable, no sympathy to another human being - violence in the name of survival, everything criminal is permitted and forgiven in advance. Am I the only one who feels the same?

I will speak no evil
this I will not do
for all that you speak
will enter back into you

I will see no evil
for if upon it you look
it grabs you and holds on
as you dangle from its hook

I will hear no evil
nor listen to its call
the first time that you do
into its trap you’ll fall

Evil is evil is evil
whatever form that it takes
and I don’t know about you
my soul’s too high of stakes!
