And cast out demons. There are demons all over this town. Demons of alcoholism and drug abuse. Demons of anger and violence. Demons of exhaustion and despair, demons of hopelessness.
Someone is weighted down by hopelessness.
It s hard for them to get up in the morning, so hard to lift their head, so hard to go to work. They live every day weighted down by demons of guilt, of shame, demons of the past, demons of self-loathing, demons of a bleak future. Today is lousy, tomorrow will be no better. There are demons controlling drug industries and police departments. Demons controlling businesses and sometimes entire industries.
