Quote by Kahlil Gibran
Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil.For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.
Summary
This quote reflects the idea that evil is not inherent but rather stems from the distortion or corruption of a person's innate goodness. It suggests that evil arises from a desperate and insatiable hunger or thirst within individuals, compelling them to seek fulfillment even in the darkest and most destructive ways. It implies that when goodness is deprived or deprived of nourishment, it may resort to extreme measures, going against its own intrinsic nature, in order to survive or satisfy its needs.
