I've always wondered abt life and the things we do with it. What with the free-will God has given us and all. Although it totally rocks that we haf tt thing called free-will, it realli bothers me how pple misuse it and end up hurting others with their tactless remarks and thoughtless actions. I've had alot of friends who haf hurt me with their crap. They've hurt others more, though, with their words as well. Others hurt openly, but I keep quiet, coz i believe in friendship, and wouldn't do nuts to jeopardize it. But being hurt one too many times makes one look at life and the friendships we've made, and the things we do to hurt others and vice versa.


However, most of what pple say doesn't affect me anymore. But to those I hold dear in my heart, I hurt inside everytime I hear of what pple haf said or done to them. It makes me boil inside, with rage tt seeks release in violence. But then I tink again. What abt the pple they've hurt as well? It would nvr end, if pple sought revenge as the only means to an end. Revenge in the form of words and actions that would cause hurt and sadness not only to the pple involved, but to the pple surrounding them. Its even worse wen the party involved are friends. The ones tt are dragged into the fracas are those in their circle, the ones that haf to make the decision of which side to choose. Neither side wld accept a neutral party rite? But sadly, the way I see it, the only way to settle the quarrel wld be a negotiator, one tt knows both of them well enuf to settle the problem. So many different problems, so little ways to settle them. Other than relationship problems, there are monetary problems, lifestyle problems, etc., etc... A whole shitload of neverending bull.


I just wish for a quick end to all problems. But tt wld mean the eradication of human life, for we are the ones who cause the problems, are we not? For to mature, we must learn how to handle our responsibilities. Sadly, tt is not the case with most people. Even at age 18 or 25, they still behave and think like 13 yr olds. The mind of an adolescent, refusing to handle any responsibilities give, but juz wanting to haf fun regardless of problems caused. But I guess that since human beings are imperfect, we should learn to forgive and forget. Forgiveness is a virtue, I believe, that helps us to move on in life to greener pastures, to forget the problems of old, to focus on the tasks at hand and to reach for the future that is within our grasp.
