A Word from Lucifer:

Humans, as a species, have a very strange tendency to see every situation or conflict in black and white.

This seems a little ridiculous as the human eye has three colour receptors that allow it to see millions and millions of different shades. So for one of the self proclaimed 'Most Intelligent Species', it seems rather stupid that everything needs to be translated into black and white just for their simple minds to wrap themselves around the certain troubles the human race gets itself into.

This is especially strange as there are infinite amounts of colours that the human eye can't even receive.

Take a goldfish, for example. A species which humanity generalizes as being less intelligent than itself. An average goldfish has four colour receptors in its eye, meaning it can see more colours than your everyday human.

Goldfish never divide things into black and white. They embrace their rainbow of beautiful colours and embrace every conflict as having an endless possibility of resolution -although sometimes that resolution involves smashing their heads into glass or eating rocks for no reason. But still, you don't hear of goldfish on goldfish genocide. I prefer eating rocks over genocide any day.

And luckily, this story is not about those who only see in two colours. But rather about the goldfish who could see more. Because as anything more than a human can know, the world can't be condensed into black and white. Heads and tails.

Us and them.

Angels and demons.

It's a simple thought, but it's one that I want anyone reading this story to remember. It's better to live as a goldfish in a world of colour than as a human in a world of black and white.

-Lucifer, (Former) Prince of Hell
