So when a man who freely discusses the facts of his childhood sexual abuse refers to some subsequent time as the darkest of his life, it serves to confirm the notion that the evil we do harms us far worse than the evil that is done to us.
On further thought: although my time in the 45323 zip code included the day that I was closest to ending my own life, even that was not the darkest day of my life. That time came before, to get me there. Because the evil we do is darker, even if we don't fully perceive the darkness at the time.
