In all the vastness of the sky and the fathomless depths of the ocean, I never saw such evil as I saw in that man. Not the desire to control, corrupt, or conquer, that moves men to such abhorrent acts, but rather his apathy. He inflicted great pain not because it made him feel good or achieved some idea or even simply because he could. He did it unthinkingly, as if it were as natural as breathing. He mocked me every time I glanced in the mirror.
