Said best by Ernest Hemingway, “All things truly wicked start from innocence.” (A Moveable Feast), everything was not born evil but as naive and innocent children. Some humans live their entire life in a blissful state of peace while others are morphed into iniquitous beings. Yet, something or someone must have corrupted these lost souls.
