They both have striking similiarities which may seem odd at first. Their early birth could account for their great genetic heritage of Mahdness, more than any other of their siblings.
Perhaps this expression can help you to understand the mentality of Billy and Azzy: Imagine the Mahjarrat being trees, you have the little ones and the big ones. They're obviously the biggest - and the oldest - if those people resist the shocks of life instead of absorbing them, guess what happens: they crack. If they would insist on resisting like oaks, instead of bending like willows, it would set up a series of inner conflicts, and they would be worried, tense and strained all the time. They'd lose some branches, sure, but their bark'd keep living on, perhaps in a differentiated state, but better off than if they wouldn't.
No matter if you're an atheist or religious person, in psychiatry, religion is considered beneficial for the mentally ill. Why? Because prayer and a strong religious faith estinguish worry, despair, strain and nervousness. The fact that you and I don't fully understand the perplexity of religion and prayer, doesn't keep people benefiting from it, leading happier, richer lives. Let's just say that giving spiritual values to life eases the mind of those doing it.
Sometimes one must operate within the
shadows
to serve the
light
. For a man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear fruits again in season, in order that the world may ever be new.
