The earth is spherical, thus anything that goes around will inevitably come around. What is stolen from you, you will someday steal from someone else. The monster you loathe may come one morning to look you in the mirror. I have no idea where to take it from here, as I've just noticed the hypocrisy in my reflection.
I don't know when this metamorphose occurred. When did my enemy's eyes turn blue with flecks of gold? I hadn't noticed his eyebrows thickening.
Now I'm pleading with my own abductor. When he jams the barrel of a gun to my temple, I can't help but notice how much I like his tattoos. His eyes bear a heaviness of guilt and hurt, I just want to take away his pain. I'm not an expert on Stockholm Syndrome, but what I'm experiencing has got to be pretty damn close.
Now I wield his stigmata. Your stigmata.
I went grocery shopping last night, and I looked in the eyes of every man that I passed. Is that him? Are you him? If so, I'm sorry.
Be careful being judgmental. What is stolen from you, you will someday steal from someone else.
