Good likes to ignore, while bad likes to pursue. Good avoids fights, bad looks for fights. Good lacks appetite, and bad wants everything on its plate. In short, bad is more determined than good. Bad seeks the confrontation, and good runs from it, and that is why good, most of the time, ends up being crushed by bad.”. “In the end, a bad man feels mercy for the good and turns on his fellow bads and fights for good. Our protagonist is one of those bad guys who turned on fellow bads. He took turns on every corrupt part of the system. Wealthy businessmen and Politicians were his favourite victims.””This is a story of a different kind of man who decided to look directly into the angry eyes of the system and said, “FUCK YOU.” He challenged everything there was; he brought every corrupt ideology to its knees and demanded a bow. He dug the biggest and widest grave for the corpse of corruption, which he had strangled with his own hands.”. “Talking about his hands, not as strong as you might assume, just normal as yours and mine, but filled with rage-carrying blood vessels. As they say, rage is the biggest adrenaline there is. Rage might make you an animal, but sometimes it gets things done, things that nobody even imagined. Sorrow, pain, and resentment that seeds this rage are perhaps in the heart of every common man. But this man has the water of determination to feed this seed of rage. He didn’t restrict his range of revenge to a particular geographic region he belonged to. His motives were not personal but universal.”.
