I didn't get to read so many posts today, but I was able to read a post by @wongi and it kept me wondering why people derive joy in hurting others.
The post is titled True story: a story about Laura..
Spoiler Alert❗: It's a story about a young lady whose life never remained the same after an encounter with a pair of desperate beings.
Somehow, this story reminded me of all the silliness that is going on in this world. You know, the killings, robberies, kidnapping, raping, name it!
Check the internet, you will see a ton of articles, videos and news content that screams "MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN". Even if you don't go searching for these, you will still get wind of it from hearsay.
We can't help it. I mean, this stuff pops up on our screen. We can choose to close the tab immediately, but what about its fragments that are already stored in our brain?
I bet there is no way to wipe that clean.
In all these, it would be very easy to say that humanity is a lost cause.
Isn't it?
Well well well, anyone thinking towards this direction can easily be forgiven. I mean, the facts are there and crime rates are increasing daily.
But, let's not close our eyes to the fact that we've got a lot of good-doers on Earth.
I watched some YouTube videos this evening. It is a compilation of some good deeds done by human that were caught on record. It was amazing and refreshing to see the smile on those faces. In one of the clips, an Asian lady (probably Japanese) invited some beggers into her restaurant and fed them to their fill.
Somehow, conspiracy theories like myself could have easily written it off as a show for the Camera, but I chose to see it and take it from face value. And I felt excited to know that someone somewhere is ready to help another person.
My point is, bad things are happening. People are getting hurt. A lot of humans are becoming more inhumane by the day. But, there is still something good going on around us.
Hopefully, all those that derive joy in hurting others would get a taste of their own medicine.
Thanks, @wongi for that thoughtful post. It hitted the spot.
Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop Or Comma
