everyday demons sent to influence and torment humanity. Many are familiar to you. There is Lust, Envy, Greed, Hate and Vanity. Over there is Anger, Selfishness, and Apathy. Over there is Insanity, Depression, and Despair. They whisper incessantly, dulling the senses and blinding the eyes of the soul. Some encourage violence and abuse against children or family. "

I swallowed and said, "Yes".

"Then my task is fulfilled, my visit complete. It is time for you to return. You are ready now." said Truth.
