You have a strange relationship with calamity when you're a writer: you write about it as an artist you objectify and fetishize it. You render life into material and that's a creepy thing to do.

I feel an intense intimacy with those who have this loathing interest in me....
Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity even a duty.
