I weep, I weep why some people are capable of hurting others. To me, things are very simple. World peace is not that hard to achieve, really. All you have to do is to respect others, to give due respect to others, to be kind. If everyone in the world can be kind, it is possible to create a Heaven on earth (not the green tea brand). I don't understand what it is with people, to hurt others. I'm grateful that I'm still able to apologise without prompting, when I've hurt somone, and that my heart is capable of feeling the hurt if others are hurting. I can understand the source of kindness and empathy, but I don't understand when people take advantage of that kindness. Why can't all of us be kind, at the very least? Be kind to ourselves and to others? Why can't we be more thoughtful? Is it the innate evil that everyone is born with. Can't we, humans, who have overcome the sky into space, overcome the soil into the earth's mantles and cores, overcome our evil nature? I weep, I weep, as I see all of these evil happening around me. Why can't humans, who have achieved many physical things, not put in the same amount of effor to achieve our characterial aspects? Life is simple, really.
