the difference between an angel and a demon? They began in the same place, and are powerful in doing what they want. Both are persuasive and influential in their dealings with others. The difference is their goals and their motives; angels protect kindness and order and demons advocate chaos and cruelty.

In fact, it is more than arguable that life shows even less kindness to real people than those existing between the well-worn covers of books. After all, The Alchemist (or most novels for that matter) wouldn’t be much of a story if our protagonist Santiago ended up dying in the desert rather than finding his treasure…

or anything else to survive. A book is not a living organism, Lydia writes, “Maybe I am kinder to things that are not alive. Or rather if they are not alive there is no question of kindness”.

Downdraft 5 Someone once asked me if I could write a book about myself what would the title be and how do I see the ending of my life. I would title my book, “Why Naughty is the New Nice”. The reason for this title is because I am probably one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I would do absolutely anything for anyone.
