WHEREVER WE ARE THEY ARE
Wherever we are they are. Whether in a wheat field or with sons of Job. Whether in the Garden of Eden or Heaven. Wherever we are they are.
They are evil. We are good. They are default. We are gestalt. The proven way to escape them is to "out" them: out-think them, out-work them, out-produce them, out-love them, out-fight them. If not, evil will "out" us!
Wherever we are they are abiding.
