I had a hard time crashing for my whole life but that never shook my belief that there still are good people. Call me naive if you want but that's what I believe.
Maybe it might have something to do with why I found Buddhism so appealing when I began to study it a few years ago.
World is filled with bastards, I know that because in the last five years I went through some hard times but it did not shake me to see the whole world in its bad colors.
I've never had anything against anyone just based on who he is. I don't care if the guy or gal is Christian, Muslim, Black or white. To me its a matter of who the person is.
No, I have no qualms with the person's religion or physical qualities. No, my problem is with what these people lack which they could easily obtain if they threw their egos and pride away, cast off their mask of ignorance, what other metaphor of enlightenment there is. That being said, I cannot deny that I myself have shown signs of ignorance in my past but I've tried to make right by them, I have rarely seen a single person I have met(and I meet plenty of different people in my travels) do the same.
All of this being said, I cannot ascertain that what I say is 'true' or 'right', just that this is what you, the world, have shown me. A dystopia where inflated egos and the latest trends are all that matters and the corrupt always have their way with the little man. And to those who read this and think that I'm preaching to you, thinking you're the little man who has been done wrong, you better look in the mirror because most likely, I ain't talking about you. I may not be talking about anybody at all, I may just be clinging on to a tiny shred of hope that there is a little man still out there but there may just be nothing but the corrupt having their way with each other.
I swear, humanity makes me sick sometimes.
