A Halo Needs a Pitchfork

Are most contributing members of society aware of the fact that there are multitudes of succubi out there counteracting our noble efforts, or do we consciously disregard this troubling truth? Sometimes it's easier not knowing that there are people out there who offer nothing and take everything. I on the otherhand feel fortunate that I get to meet these people as a part of my work outside of music. These encounters make me realize the real value of good people in contrast to the bad. I'm not sure the blissfully ignorant people fully appreciate the difference since they typically don't see both sides. So my thesis is this. If you want to truly appreciate something, go study its opposite.
