“As Clarice Lispector says, “Who has not asked himself at some time or other: Am I a monster or is this what it means to be a person?”7 Perhaps the very certain, the very confident do not ask themselves this; perhaps they should. Perhaps the certainty that you are not the monster—that no matter what you do, you will never become the monster—is what gives rise to monstrous behavior. To never question yourself or the people you listen to. To never question your stories, or your ghosts, or your gods.”
