Sometimes I wonder about the cruelty of others. Why do people cause others pain? Relationships go bad and everyone wants to blame the other person for the problems instead of just taking responsibility for their own actions. I just don't understand this way of thinking at all.
I have strived my whole life to be nice to other people, to always do what my mother taught me. To follow "The Golden Rule" so to speak. That doesn't mean that I have not made my share of mistakes, but I can honestly say I have done my best not to intentionally hurt someone else.
I don't lie to others, or tell them things I do not believe to be true. I do not lead others on or intentionally mislead them into thinking that I am something more than what I appear to be. I do not hide my personality from others hoping that they will like the me I have made them think I am. I do not try to manipulate others into doing what I think they should.
People I know have been hurt intentionally by others to the point where their trust in others is damaged beyond repair. Changing the image of themselves and others in devastating ways. They build walls to protect themselves from being hurt again, without realizing that the walls meant for protection do more harm to themselves than protect.
My heart aches for the unnecessary damage we do to each other on a daily basis in the name of love, happiness, hate, and anger. Why must we be so judgemental to the people we claim to love and care about? Why can't we just love and be loved in a simple and pure form?
My wish for the world, is for people to be pleasant to one another. For peace and happiness to be the focus of our lives. For everyone in the universe to be able to experience the feeling of being loved completely for who you actually are, and not what you could become. To find a simple love in its perfect, most pure form.
