I think I'm running out of topic to blog about...Come to think of it, I haven't been blogging about anything interesting at all. My post consists of mostly whining how life sucks.

so, today's post is about something random.

we'll start with people.

You know, there are many ways to tackle this topic...optimists would say that it's people that makes life great and the world a more colourful place to live in.

Well, I beg to differ.

Ok, so, I side with the pessimists. Shoot me.

really, optimists look at the world this way:

EVERYONE IS GOOD, NICE, HONEST AND KIND.

My advise is: WAKE UP!

People are made of lies. Yes, they lie, cheat, trick, do something wrong but get somebody else to take the blame.

that's people for you.

you might say it's all about the upbringing. How well children are brought up may influence but not much really.

People find it a necessity to be evil. It's nature. It's as vital as breathing itself. Don't believe me?
Ask yourself:
Have you lied for your convenience before?
Have you ever been stupidly honest and straightforward with every acquaintance you got? You see a homeless guy dressed in dirty rags and begging for money on the street. Do you help him? Back in school, how many times have you talked about something really bad about someone else behind their backs?
How many people have you shunned just because they are not pretty, rich or smart?
How many times have you lied and pretend to be not you to be included in the "in" crowd?
How many times have you lied to create a "godly" image of yourself (when obviously you're not) so that you're accepted in society?

you have quite a lot of sins, don't you?

Don't bluff me.

This is people. If you don't have sins, you're not a person. You'll be a god, a martyr. Not many humans are all good. I've met one or two who are close to martyrdom but they're always picked on by people.

That's why I'm fed up with all the lies, cheating, acting, faking and goodness knows what else is going out there in the world. That's why I retreated into my own little haven 3 years back. It was safe. As a lone ranger, I'm never stung, have not hated, cried or angered. Ex-classmates, if you're reading this, you should remember that I was always, always doing homework or wandering around by myself. I have very few friends. I was always guarded. Nobody knows very much about me and I was very happy with that.

Until I met this bunch of guys and 4 girls in my class, I was pretty confident of my 'self-armor'. They kind of broke it. They are really nice bunch of kids. They made me see that there are some small glimmer of good in people. You just need to bring that out. But when people turn nasty, you'll just have to lash out and show some colours.

Then, I started mixing with people.

No, they have not changed me essentially. I still believe that all the unhappiness, turmoil, suffering and insecurity are caused by people. However, this bunch of good friends made me see a little hope.

Too bad that they're all over the world now...Chances of meeting them are pretty slim. LOL
