14. Chapter 14 - Old Friends, final part

-Ku ko ... I want to hear YOU explaining why you think so, Raito.

"Well ... if that's so, then I'll tell you: there are millions of reasons, Ryuk. For example, if a human listens to a friend saying that someone has beaten him, and this human goes there to help this friend beat the guy he accused of beating him, and after a long time he discovers that his friend lied, and Who just wanted to fuck with a guy he did not like ... do you think that this human who tried to do justice deserves to be called good?

"And the mother who tells her to have an abortion so that she does not have to support a bastard child, and as a result of her ill-conducted abduction, the girl becomes mutilated, unable to have any children for the rest of her life?" Do you think this mother is good? That this daughter who created all this trouble is good? That this incompetent and illegal doctor is good? That the man who impregnated and abandoned the girl is good? That the baby, who is the cause of all this suffering, is good?

-And the person who reads in the news reports accusing a young politician of stealing money from the city hall? Then this person, driven by the limited sense of envy typical humans feel about illicitly enriching politicians, begins to feel a visceral hatred of this politician as if the news he read in the papers were signed by God, who does not lie. But do not stop to think that in 99.9% of cases a political enemy paid for this journalist to write a lot of lies in the report only to increase the hatred and consent of the reader against this mayor. So, in a report that tells only one truth, but which is accompanied by ten lies just to increase the hatred against a mayor who had been the best that city has ever had, but who committed only a small infraction that neither did any harm to Administration of the city, ends up making the political career of this young and good mayor is totally destroyed by the action of corrupt journalists and political enemies a thousand times more corrupt and worthless for society. Do you think that this reader of this newspaper who lets himself be so easily deceived by the media and makes marches against this young, honest, hard-working prefect deserves to be called good? As much as this citizen thinks he is doing the right thing, and thinks he is on the side of good, he is actually on the side of evil, and is doing harm to many innocent people. It's because of people like this that the Great Wars happen. That great injustices occur!

-Ryuk ... all people are bad ... but they are not bad because of badness ... they are bad because they are ignorant! And the only person responsible for being ignorant is God, who made humans like that, and then had the cocky face of "writing a Bible" accusing those same humans of being sinners of a sin that is not theirs, but of God himself Who blames them. I said "write a Bible" in quotation marks because it was not he who wrote it, as we well know. But God benefits from these words, and therefore, is an accomplice to these distorted ideas.

Although I do not blame God for any of these things, after all he did the best he could, and doing better than that is impossible, given the limitations of matter.

"And the people who do charity, Ryuk?" These people who go to the poorer countries to give food, medicines and clothes to needy people end up making them feel better, have more children, further increasing the need for more and more humanitarian aid to quench a vicious cycle that Never ends, without fighting evil at the root. If instead, these "good-hearted" donors would fight against the corruption of the Heads of State that make these people miserable and unemployed, then they would be doing something good, that is, they would be fighting evil at the root. But they do not do this, and they are called by the tôlos of good and altruistic people, when in fact they are only multiplying the misery.

-Ruuuku ... there are hundreds of billions of examples that I can cite here for you why I say that people are bad, including the best people, but I imagine you also know those same examples of cor, I'm not sure ? I myself have been like these people in the past, and I am ashamed of it today.

-Yeah, I'll call you Kira from that moment, ku ko ku ko. Now we speak the same language. Then it will be a lot easier than I imagined.
