Dear A,

The horror...

The ... horror

"In this war, things get confused out there, power, ideals, the old morality, and practical military necessity." Because there's a conflict in every human heart between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil. And good does not always triumph. Sometimes the Dark Side overcomes ... 'the better angels of our nature.' Therein, man has got a breaking point. You and I have. Walter Kurtz has reached his. And very obviously, he has gone insane.

eerie isn't it?
