Come what may, evil
sticks like glue to every-
one, including me and
you. It just won’t go
away. Even if one is
innocent, evil pursues
throughout the day — some-
thing sticky on the hand.
One shakes and shakes but
it won’t go away. Conseq-
uences latch on, too. Lady
Macbeth tried to wash the
blood of Duncan away. She
screamed “Out damn spot,”
but it remained indelible,
regardless of what others
might say. Evil sticks
when you think it has gone
away; it pursues in ven-
geance to one’s dying day
and the consequence of
evil sticks like glue in
guilt, too. What to do? His
father once told him to
declare his innocence, if
true, through attack after
attack after attack and
come what may, he would
still have his integrity.
Come what may, come what
may, come what may, evil
can’t take one’s integrity
away.
