@BlatantHonesty this is a powerful quote. I think it can resonate in many situations, and can have a multitude of meanings, depending on how you see it. Here are a few of my interpretations:
1) This quote can show how every human being has something good inside them. Even an "evil" person is not solely this, they have the ability to support each other, to be loyal, to be passionate, to do what they believe in. Ultimately, the title of "evil" is bestowed by those who disagree, not by anyone who has some all-encompassing duty to declare what is right and wrong. Even those who may be seen as "evil" are still human, and still have kindness and compassion in their hearts.
2) This quote is incredibly relevant in the face of mental illness. The phrase "misery breeds company" comes to mind, as the misery can rub off on others, and influence them into sharing the misery. I feel your quote is similar, especially when looking at destructive cycles: the "evil" thoughts will always find a way to support each other, and continue the cycle. This can also be seen in certain mental illnesses: for example, I have severe anxiety, which leads me to be extremely nervous in social situations/with authority, as well as having issues making friends. Thus, if a friend asks me to interact with an authority figure for them, I will immediately be caught in a cycle: If I talk to the authority figure, they may get mad, may stop liking me, it all may go horribly wrong. On the other hand, it I don't, my friend may get mad, may decide to not be my friend anymore, etc. These thoughts then keep cycling with each other, amplifying each other, showing how the "evil" thoughts are able to support each other.
Sorry if this was a bit ramble-y, and just a disclaimer, I didn't proofread this, so it may well contain spelling/grammar/thought errors. Just my immediate thought on the topic; I thought it was very interesting! Thank you for bringing it up!
