Editor’s Note: The Autobiography of Satan (Authorized Edition) by William A. Glasser is available here.

 If you are going to picture a figure of evil, you might begin by at least giving a moment’s thoughts to the nature of evil. As you might expect, evil is a subject that intensely interests me. It is one with which I am deeply familiar, and I will be visiting it frequently from this point on.  And so will you, if you tag along, for I have woven into the fabric of my life an enlightening pattern that you should see. I want to open your eyes to the true source of evil in this world.

Yes, I can imagine you glancing my way once again. But are you really convinced that you have the answer?  Without any doubt? Any at all? Perhaps you had better pause here again. Look back over your shoulder now.

Can you remember who first fed you that answer?
