<p>Well more like a litany or how else would I sum this writeup?</p>
<p>Have you noticed how attached we are to villainous characters? We worship them in our own way and speak about them with so much respect and admiration, we don't even realize we are doing it?</p>
<p>You may be wondering how, considering it would be ironic, given your attachment to the idea that you are inherently a good person and only adore good people.</p>
<p>Okay let's see, when you speak about Pablo Escobar, do you condemn his actions or hammer on how he stood in front of the White House with his son, or burnt a million dollars per night to warm up his kid?</p>
<p>You remember the Lion King? What character do you remember with fondness and admiration? Mufasa? Na, it's definitely Scar. That treacherous voice and the look made him stand out right? </p>
<p>In the Marvel universe, you can't argue that the most loved character is Thanos, the very threat to human existence, well in that world not ours. Doesn't any other character pale in comparison to him when we argue popularity? Hell, even some of his quotes have become legend on TikTok and the Twitterverse</p>
<p>The Godfather is a film/story full of villains but you can catch some people arguing about it being one of the best things to have been made in human history. </p>
<p>Would you pick the dalmatians over Cruella? I'm guessing the answer is a big NO!! Hell, even Hitler seems like a more interesting character to read about than Albert Einstein right?</p>
<p>Well, you may ask where I'm going with this, seeing as your conscience don dey prick you 🤣🤣🤣</p>
<p>Why in the world would you be surprised when supposedly evil people thrive in the world? Because we unconsciously love the idea of being evil and getting away with it.</p>
<p>The idea of being good is seen as "boring", "unpalatable" and often gets you "used".</p>
<p>Some of my femmes would go as far as to say
"good girl no dey pay" and the men would tout, "stop being a simp" or "nice guys finish last"</p>
<p>Whatever the case, we always abhor the idea of someone being nice or good to you. Or haven't you caught yourself questioning someone's motive when they were just nice to you for no reason? Yeah, I know 🌚🌚</p>
<p>But the truth is, being evil is a human trait. You may not want to hear this but everyone has the potential to be evil and wicked and any other adjectives that could describe it. Some people have just learnt to control that aspect of them or haven't been triggered to the point where they want to exhibit the enormity of their potential.</p>
<p>Whatever the case, we should learn to stop making snap judgements and maybe examine ourselves, understand, be patient with people and maybe stop encroaching on boundaries.</p>
<p>I just went philosophical, right? I think we need more of that, unless we are ready to embrace our inner evility.</p>
<p>Besides, no one really becomes a villain unless pushed to that point.</p>
<p>Yes, people react differently and being human and smart is knowing that, the idea of different also means becoming a world class villain. </p>
<p>Oh, did I forget to mention our most loved villain, The Joker!!!!</p><p>I think we are all villains waiting to happen 🌚</p>
<p>Okay I'm done now</p>
<p>Tell me what other villains I neglected to mention</p>
<p>And what is your take on my litany?🙂🙂🙂</p>
