“I am not entirely discarding the supernatural. I have seen a good share of the extranormal, as you called it, or the endless wonder, as those close to me would. I simply don’t believe in the incarnation of evil or an all benevolent being… It is all about energy, which may influence a person to do something, but ultimately, it all derives from humanity itself. Yetzer hara? Yara hatov? What, exactly, do you mean? —Well, now… I have seen and heard horrible things in my time on this planet, but you… you are so young. Why would you feel that way? What else is there to be afraid of, honestly?”
"The concept of yetzer hara is the inherently evil impulses of man. Yetzer hatov is its opposite.” The creature tilted its head, a small smile threading the way to its lips at the small reprimand concerning age. “Oh, I many things but young. I have seen and heard horrible things as well. I’ve been responsible for most of them. Murder. War. Genocide. Famine. You don’t believe there are other sentient creatures outside humans? You could certainly fear them.”
