Toxic people, ideas, religions, substances enter our lives via ambivalence. We get confused when moments of regret mingle with pleasure and inspiration. Sometimes you deal with a person (or an idea) and there is this nagging uncomfortable feeling that is always present in the relationship. Yet you talk yourself, you see genuinely good sides, positive emotions, etc. It’s all a mask of a devil who is a grand master trickster. The toxic one weaves the tune and sets the tone like a drumbeat to a song. There is no redemption to toxicity.
