Some people are cursed to save humanity From destroying itself I always felt bad for them Having to stand in the middle of the  crossfire Never having a chance to breathe...

I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one.... Humans are caught -- in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too&mdash;in a net of good and evil... There is no other story. A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well -- or ill?
