The magical spell of this place is evidently lifting itself. There is more and more being revealed here; human beings are just that, after all, and thus we are all dark, selfish, flawed, and can seemingly turn upon our neighbors at the slightest of slights. Or when the fixated notion of ‘right’ versus what truly doesn’t matter in the scope of anyone’s life becomes paramount, is it worth the continual energy devoted to righting such a ‘wrong’?
We should be better here. I will strive to be. I have to be. I have been ‘out there’, and it is not nice. There are genuine, giving, kind and nice people here too. I will focus upon them. If you choose to see me as dark, misaligned, or of impure intent, so be it. I will be me. I will stand strong. I will apologize when wrong, and defend myself fully, when wronged.
I am an intelligent man, but not one well versed in human nature. I have this repeated tendency to see the good in all I meet and then repeatedly get blindsided by the onset of darkness when it rears its ugly head. The aforementioned darkness and flawed creatures we all are, myself included, it is deep and dark, but out here my friends? Cannot we strive to treat each other a bit nicer? I hope we can be better to each other amidst all this beauty and peace. Even in the face of such adversity, I will do my best to treat you better than you are treating me. I have to. (Have you been out there?)
