...

there exist two different types of beings in this world we live in.

the demon, a being who cares for no one and nothing but itself, and

the angel, the other who cares puts others' wellbeing before itself.

those who exist between these two extremes, living between a mixture of these two cares, are called humans.

spreading its wings the demon can fly to the limits of the human sky, but it will never be able to reach heaven.

by itself, the angel's wings can carry it to heaven where it belongs, but it tries to care and ends up carrying too many people to be able to make it past the human sky.

the demon can enter hell any time with any amount of humans. After all it is far easier to drag everything down than to lift anything up.

the demon watches as the angel strains itself at the impossible task of carrying everyone to heaven.

"you care too much," it says to the angel, "let go of some and you will be able to enter heaven once more. the sins of those whom you carry are too heavy for you to bear."

"i can't. those who i leave behind will be upset." the angel replies, "i don't want to upset people i care about."

"i'll say this again. you care too much. some people do not deserve your kindness. until you learn to let go, you will never reach heaven with your wings."

and the angel continues its futile struggle to save everyone it cares about as the demon watches.

if he had the angel's wings, he would have entered heaven without caring. but then again, he wasn't an angel to begin with. he can never be an angel.

but in reality, the demon is envious of the angel. envious of its capability and will power to care of others beyond its means and never falling to the demon's temptation to forsake those whom it carries.

remaining an angel.

while the demon loses itself to humanity.

and therefore effectively losing his very existence.
