Ever wonder what the "Other Side" of you really means?

What truly follows you, is it your shadow? -- Or something deeper? -- Something more venomous, something more, terrible then even you can imagine?

What do you think is really lurking in the darkest corner's of your mind, waiting for it's time to strike at the most miserable of moments.

Is it that killer instinct? -- Could someone so gentle, so prone to good nature, be turned, in a single moment into a Killer? -- A Murderer?

I was watching Heroes, Season 2 today, and as Sylar took, yet another victim, you can't help but feel sorry for him, in Season 1, you find out about Sylar, and all of his problems, his.. Affinity for killing, just to.. progress his own powers. However, he never starts out this way, the poor guy's just a clock, watch, mechanic sort of thing, I don't remember the word.. He's gentle, but as he figures out the powers of other's, Telekenisis, among other things.. He changes, becomes Darker, power hungry. -- Is it true, "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely" -- Does that mean that when a good soul, granted with the most glorious of powers, will ALWAYS, 110% of the time, use that power for something bad? -- Doesn't that condem us all immediately, saying that we'll use it only to progress OUR needs, and not of those we care about?

It made me think. Maybe that other side of us is truly the darkness that lurks in our mind, in our hearts, or our souls. -- Or.. Maybe the other side of us is the light, that we lock away, and the darkness is who we are to begin with.
