How is it that some people are so forgiving, so godlike, and then others feel the hatred deep within their bones, from the core of their being? How is it that you can turn the cheek if someone does you wrong, when there is that place within that just wishes to retaliate? I cannot turn a check to things, my check seems to snap back, my eyes glaring even more intensely than they might have moments ago. I feel the need to make things "even", to make myself feel better about putting that person in their place.
Oh how I hate liars! These are the people I truly wish to put in their place. They are the thieves of the truth, the murderers of what is right. To lie, to make themselves feel better--for what purpose? I truly do not understand the genetics, the why, the how-so of liars. Does it make one more respected to lie? Does it somehow ease suffering to lie? In what land, do liars wish to live? What person do liars achieve to be? It is not so much who they wish to be, but why they are hiding from themselves.
There are so many people in the world who do wrong, knowingly. But how can we, as a people, as a people who can make change, a people that care for the suffering of others, how can we come together as one and stop the madness that surrounds us?
I read news articles and wonder why?! Why did a 7 year old get sold by her step sister to be gang raped? Why do people prey on young children daily? Where is the strength of mind to know how horribly wrong the world is?
One person can stand and say "This is wrong!", but that one person's voice is muted by the yelling of others asking for their rights, for equality, asking for something I had nothing to do with, but expect me and mine to pay for somehow. I feel the world heading for hell like place, forcing God to act. And maybe if God can take the wickedness, we can be a kinder, worthy people.
