| “ | Do you know what it's like to be able to hear everyone's thoughts? It's hell on earth. You think I'm a jerk? Well, trust me, everyone else is worse. If my dad hurt anyone... he had a reason to. People are monsters. Deep down, they're ugly, and greedy, and hateful, and twisted. That's the truth. Life isn't that black and white, Henry. People can be bad, but people can be good, too. And kind and compassionate. Maybe some of the thoughts you read, maybe some of them are bad. I mean, sometimes we're hurting, or we're afraid, and we think awful, awful things. Have you tried looking a little deeper? I bet you'd find something better. |
