A deal with the \u2018devil\u2019 appears good,
\nso that it will be tempting enough to sign it,
\nbut will never come to any long-term good,
\nbecause it is a deal with the \u2018devil\u2019 after all,
\nwith the \u2018devil\u2019 in the missed details,
\nthe fine print of guaranteed long-term harm.<\/p>\n

Any agreement
\nwith your inner demons
\nis a deal with the devil.<\/p>\n

(The Buddhist version of \u2018the devil\u2019 is Mara, who is much more interesting.)<\/p>\n
