My interpretation? We all (methinks) have a bit of wicked in us. Human nature being what it is, we are ashamed to let others know this but – again, methinks! – what is important is to recognize that this IS human nature: To feel moments of selfishness and greed and to wish harm on those who are evil or mean or who have done us harm. To think these things does not mean we will – ever – act upon them.
I have started to learn not to beat myself up for characteristics that I now recognize are shared by many of us in this human community to which we all belong. We just need to strive to be better people, is all!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this post with us, Julie. I agree with you that we are all human and are together in this thing called “life.” We might as well relax and enjoy the ride.
