Sacred Haven of Debauchery

Auto-translated
What is evil, and what is good? These concepts are very relative. Films, TV series, cartoons, and other media are like a simplified model of life, with certain assumptions. One of these assumptions (in popular culture, very often, but not always) is the obvious distinction between the evil and good sides of a conflict (everything is built on conflict, whether it's an internal conflict or a war between two empires; it's all conflict). We also often encounter happy endings. Despite the fact that people perfectly understand and see these conventions, they enjoy them. After all, not everything always ends with a happy ending, does it? And how we would like it to... :)
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.


G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
