Heart of Darkness

What a Conrad treat! I am listening to it again immediately, since I found so much spiritual benefit from it. We learn where the true heart of darkness really is. Even Marlow, who tells the story, found that he was longing to listen to the Voice, Kurtz, who set himself up like a god among the people. This impulse to be worshiped, and attraction to people that seem to have the Voice, leads men to drink the Kool-Aid too many times.
