Eden of Evil

New Eden is a wicked garden. Everywhere evidence is found. We are all scrabbling about to kill and maim and gain for our own selves. I was a murdere for hire. I raided and pillaged all along the fringes, but sometimes sponsored by the State and well within its borders. That blood is no less on my hands. The question then, is why do I continue to fight? If I recognize that there is no net difference in the death being meted out by my hand, then how might I absolve myself? Can I say it is blessed by God, and therefore not sin. Yes. More honestly, it is simply all I know how to do. The fact that God has blessed it makes it easier to bear.
