Evil Reality

A short dialogue entry I intend to use for a sort of villain speech in a separate piece. This is spoken at great length to explain just how evil reality really is. How evil good is...

"You wanna know the bittersweet evil of our...mortal lives? ...Wanna know how the gift of consciousness is the greatest curse our race has ever received?
You can find it in a child. Even a newborn shows the signs. ...The sweet comes from their innocence; this lack of comprehension that shields them from the concept of right and wrong. It's not a thing to them. They don't even know it exists, because it only exists to those who comprehend its existence. They only care about their own interests...because in their minds, their conscious - this sense of reason they possess, that's all that matters to them; and the funny thing is that...we never actually grow out of it. Adults; they are forced to thrive on the idea that their interests are the only ones that matter, and that they must protect those interests above all else because the 'world' wants to extinguish them. Even the most benevolent and high-impact people live this way, because before it became the masses interests, it was only...ONLY, a lot of individual interests; only cared for by the individual impacted by it.
But; now, the bitter in the bittersweet isn't actually the consciousness, though there is evil to behold in the concept. However, the greater evil lies in its mass production - the rise of more than one. Suddenly there's the concept of relationships, and good and evil surfaces here. When there's two conscious creatures, and only one resource to go around; a piece of candy for example if we go back to the children example, and one gets it and the other does not, there's one who experiences the good and one, the evil.
There was a study; it was on a pair of monkeys depicting this exact scenario, and went on for years. One only received the good and the other only got the evil...until one day. The evil monkey had attacked the good monkey, even killed them by the time they were stopped. Now, suddenly the monkey who was given the evil becomes their own evil, and we see these model depictions of villains and morality.
Morality, heh...such a fickle thing; only conscious beings experience it. Where evil is born, it only spreads like an infection - and here's why. In order for evil to be destroyed, good must embrace that which it hates, which defeats the point. If good embraces evil to destroy evil, it fixes nothing. The old evil is gone, sure; however, where that good once stood rises a new evil to take the old's place, and this is openly recognized. We see that link in our society, but instead of finding a better solution, we do...nothing...and the thing about nothing is that evil is fueled by nothing; it thrives in nothing. Not only is evil born from those who get nothing, but it originates from nothing just as consciousness does.
We do nothing and let evil fester and grow, because there is no solution that we can aptly follow without sabotaging our cause; to follow the pursuit of our own interests while left undisturbed...'peace of our time'.
What's even better is that we fabricate false heroes to stave off false villains in stories, but we never look at the real picture.
These heroes, portrayed as the charismatic or the people with the capes. Here's the truth. They never actually win. People are hurt - killed, even. Common infrastructure often destroyed. They never destroy the evil, only allow it to slip through their fingers to nurse its wounds and come back later, because they can't accept becoming the thing they hate. Even if they do, it is only in vain, because the evil only spreads. It wears them, scars them, and leaves a permanent mark on them, and their acts of heroism are calls for destruction, because they destroyed those with both, the solution and the will to act on it.
Now, look at villains; always the dark lurking figure with evil schemes that surely must be stopped. Here's their truth. They're the ones so beaten and brutalized by the true evil of the world that they become their own mock version of it as a way to hide from such brutality. They discover their own answers to their cries for help; all the desperate and faithless questions that went unanswered. They are the ones who actually win. Either they achieve their goals or leave an impression that will carry on their will for them when they no longer can. They work tirelessly, destroying that which blindly opposes them, and sacrificing everything to their cause, because they understand that they can't solve their problems by giving up or moving on prematurely. Good can't fix them because evil always comes back, but good is fleeting; however, evil can fix good. Evil spreads its influence and a few too many points click, and suddenly those who listen see the the reality they were once blind to. They become alienated by the good, because they finally see the monster good really is.
'Fair is foul, and foul is fair.'
Good is evil...and evil is good. That is the reality we live in. This couldn't be laid out any better. The true good are destroyed and called evil, while the true evil rises, seated on ivory thrones stolen from their predecessors, feigning the facsimile of good, yet we choose to...wait. We're still waiting to dethrone our persecutors in this reality. Now, understand that this is not a call to usurp the powers in place. It only places new persecutors on those same thrones we are entitled to. This is a call saying to all who hear that our current solutions are not working, and we need to change.
I am no hero. I am not...a creature of good. I proudly claim the role of villainy; the role of the one touched by evil, because I have seen the truth and I will be heard. Don't call me the villain, and claim you are the hero. Only true evil is blind to the teachings brought by the true good, whom they ignorantly name the villain.
No one is a hero...so, I choose to be a villain."

Author's Note

Keep this in mind; it's only a concept piece for a possible villain speech. This may not be the final draft. Additionally, I'm not a professional writer, so I ask that you excuse any poor grammar I happen to use.
