Humanity

People are such complicated and peculiar beings. They are so full of emotion and intensity that at times they can be dangers to themselves and others around them. People have this sort of primitive instinctual drive that takes over them when they really want something, stopping at no cost to get it. No matter who the person is they will always think that they’re the harmless innocent party in a conflict. In reality it’s never as easy as labeling something black or white in a dispute, there are always areas with definite shades of gray. Both sides of a story have to be heard, because it’s human nature to explain a story in a bias perspective that takes the blame away from themselves.

I am constantly finding myself making up my mind about a certain predicament, and then having to reevaluate my decisions because the exact same facts are being explained to me in another perspective. People can be so versatile and mysterious about themselves, and judging their character can be a really big challenge. One moment someone can act like I’m their most favorite person, and the next moment they can act as if I don’t exist. People always have a separate agenda in mind, and are constantly doing things for their own benefit. It just goes to show that, things are not always what they seem.

I’m currently dribbling all my time away in the book I’m reading, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I can’t quite fully articulate the different feelings that the book brings out in me while I progress through it. It’s definitely an addictive read, as it’s quite difficult for me to put it down. When I do put the book down, and am finding myself reassessing parts I’ve read I get this sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach. The book, The Lovely Bones, brings out a range of emotions out of me, currently I’m feeling quite hollow and empty, but I’m sure that the ending will bring out the most joyous of emotions. I recommend the book to everyone, but do urge you to fully read the book as the book begins with the most horrific of circumstances, and ends in beauty and hope.
