Mirrors

Why does it seem so easy for everyone to judge everyone? Just seems that we're all on the same boat - trying to live our lives the best way we can, but everyone wants to eat everyone else alive. 'Human nature', they say. Apparently that's what's to blame. Why is it so hard to find a good person these days? Why does every favour require a favour in return? It just puzzles me how we're living in a world where it's very difficult to find good. It's hard to find honesty. It's hard to find peace. Why do people have to be mean, nasty and selfish? I just wonder.

I'm not saying I'm a saint myself, but if I don't get on with someone, I just stay away from them. Why fight? Why be in someone's face? The world is so vast and, true, there are so many different kinds and types of people. Different beliefs, clashing characters - but if we all just were more tolerant, I guess it would be a much happier and simpler life. Would it not? Is it more complicated than that? Is it hard? From what the world is becoming, I guess it's near impossible. I don't know. Why do people have to make everyone else's life complicated? What is so difficult about it? Sometimes I just don't get it, yet something at the back of my mind tells me that we aren't supposed to get it. It's too big and vast for a mere person.

I guess I have my world - the tiny little one I have, and I guess that's like my backyard and I have to work on this backyard of mine. No use working on anyone else's but my own. I can only try to make my little world a great one - weed out all negative energy and welcome the good. Give out positive energy, too, I think that's important. If only I could eternally have a simple and beautiful life - that's all I'm asking for. Life's not about making many friends - it's about finding the right ones. Ignore the rest of the world, but care about it at the same time (interpret how you will).

Mirrors were created so that every once in a while we could look into them and see that we're going the right way. Mirrors show us ourselves and if we don't like what we see, it's time to change how we live. It's never too late, i guess. I am satisfied with how I've turned out - still make my mistakes, but I am able to swallow my pride, admit to myself that I've made a mistake, and move on from there. Those who judge need to look in their own mirrors - maybe they don't like what they see or are afraid of finding their true selves, that's why they see the need to pry into the lives of others. At the end of the day, the mirror's right in front of them and all they need to do is look closer and dig deeper.

Everything has to be simple-complicated, doesn't it? Another question without an answer.
