Prologue
..::..::..::..
When is a man most dangerous?
One could say that it is in the time of insanity. Why not? When one was insane, there was no control over the senses. Reason did not work, and surely, the system which often tells you to recognize someone or something is rendered useless. For insanity, there is hardly ever a cure. And if one is cured, then one was extremely lucky. If one is not cured, then death is certain for the senile.
For others, they say that desire is what makes a man most dangerous. Again…why not? When one has a desire, nothing else matters. Right or wrong, as long as there's a need to pursue and chase after, there was no reason to stop. When everything is but a step away, it doesn't matter if the road extends. There will always be an end…ALWAYS.
To some they say that being rendered desperate makes a man dangerous. It was possible. A desperate man will always do whatever it took to make an exit from such a disposition. If worse comes to worst and depression hits, a man will not only hurt others. He will also hurt himself in the process as a means of escape.
There are those who think that perfection makes a man dangerous. When something is about to go wrong, the perfectionist will not stand for it. He will, in one way or another, resort to something catastrophic in order to relinquish the flaw. They are quite the extremists after all.
Among these people, some would suggest that kindness is what makes a man most dangerous. And this just didn't mean to others, but mainly to himself. To let one's self be abused till there's nothing left. Selflessness is the key to being foolishly obedient. To see a master's contentment in exchange for the satisfaction of not disobeying a command, truly, kindness was a good man's indirect form of murder to his own persona.
Still, there is one among the rest who would think otherwise.
He would think that hunger is what makes a man most dangerous.
When famished, one tends to forget a lot of things, if not, then everything at all. A grumbling stomach was louder than any words that could be uttered by the mind or the mouth. Hunger leads one to forget what he is and leads the hungry down to a path less perfect that expected. The hunger get rids of perfection in totality, leaving one desperate for food. And when one is desperate, the desire is formed. When the want sinks in, even kindness is eradicated and when everything else has gone…sanity will start to break down as well. Hunger leads one to forget about everything...and only a few could stand such torture.
When the hunger becomes too strong, what can the ravenous ones do?
…when the hunger become too insatiable, even the dog will bite its master for the tiniest scrap of flesh...
