Lost souls
"When you will not fly into a passion people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage, and they are not, and they say stupid things they wish they hadn't said afterward. There's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in - that's stronger."
A Little Princess - Frances Hodgson Burnett
There's something not right today. So much hate and ignorance. It's senseless.
It's so insidious, it creeps on us, wears out our souls, and at the weakest moments, causes one to lash out. And one would ask where did all this hate come from?
Hate like love has always been there. But we let ourselves down when we allow ourselves to be controlled by hate. We would prefer hate to love. We would prefer animosity to camaraderie. We have enslaved ourselves never to be free again.
Where has all the humanity in the world gone to?
Maybe we should look to ourselves first and ask when did we lose ours.

this post was really just a reflection of things i observe and how i came to the realisation that we (including myself) have sometimes preferred to seek conflict and cause anarchy amongs those we may not get along with when if we had tried to understand and feel a bit more of empathy, we realise we are not that very different after all..
this is all sounding cryptic but i guess i was just a bit disappointed with the affairs of the world today....
so many of us hate what we don't know or understand.
