Antagonist self.

'Villains'

Sometimes we all play the bad guy.
The cat among the pigeons.
Sometimes the base emotions push us forward.
When we are angry, we get off our backsides at least. When we are greedy - we go out and get. When we are jealous we push ourselves to be better.
Sometimes its good to be bad. To say ' screw that' and keep going.
Sometimes its bad to be good. We might live a whole lifetime trying not to upset - a life that is not self led, that is at the mercy of everyone and everything else. A half life.
The antagonist is the necessary driving force for heroism.  Difficult people can be a training in patience and tolerance. Awkward characters can encourage great flexibility in others.
When we do wrong we can take responsibility and learn from our mistakes. We all do bad things. We all have bad thoughts. We are all potential villains whilst at the same time being potential heroes.
The most dangerous antagonists deny the darkness inside. They believe they are saviours. They believe they are angels. They cant see what they are doing. They insist they are the good guy. They deny the antagonist self.
Its good to see the antagonist from time to time. Its balanced. the antagonist self, is a naughty child. Hold it close, don't push it away and it will calm down.
