Being evil takes more or less energy than being good?

Is it exhausting to be a villain? Do the wicked have more energy?

What does it feel like to be a tired tyrant?

Villains, demons and anti-heroes – evil beings – are often portrayed as possessing inexhaustible energy. They can’t be controlled, only annihilated. The hero restores peace, a steady state of organized abundance. The anti-hero throws a wrench in the gentle gears of thriving communities.

But evil, even when latent and subdued, is always scheming. Tirelessly. Ready to pounce at the slightest crack.
