So you see, Good and Evil have the same face; it all depends on when they cross the path of each individual human being.

Paulo Coelho
About This Quote

This is a phrase used by the Greek philosopher Socrates to illustrate the nature of evil and how it can be overcome. You know what's funny? I'm having a lot of trouble with this one. What's funny? - You'll have to explain that, just like you explained the other ones. I'm having a lot of trouble with this one. I don't know what it means. - It means that you're having a lot of trouble figuring out how to answer the question. You're probably thinking too hard or not hard enough.

Maybe you need some coffee. Or maybe you need to take a break and try something else for a while. But, I think we'll get there eventually, don't you?
