It's weird that I'm posting this here instead of on my other blog where no one from here will know anything about it. Maybe I just subconsciously want someone who knows about the shit going on to perchance hop back onto their LJ accounts to listen to...I don't know, the truth of life.
The thing is, I feel like I'm witnessing a complete backpedal of something that I feel could've been done more cleanly that it really was. I feel like I'm on set for some random high school tv show, and it makes me rather disinclined to contribute anything further.
Human nature makes us petty, selfish, and insecure in our worst of times. It brings out the need to hoard everything closer to oneself, leaving consideration for no one else. In the meantime, second parties and bystanders are flailing about, trying to grasp onto what little they do not have, clinging onto any last measure of hope they can find.
I hate that.
I understand that the desperation of other people should be of no concern of mine and that whatever punishment another person is suffering, no matter how severe their crime, shouldn't affect me.
But it does...
It echoes in the damaged heart strings of where I once went through the exact same experiences. No one, absolutely no one deserves to be lonely. No one deserves to lose themselves so fully with no savior to pull them out. Revenge is a cruel thing, appealing only to our darker instincts, but if we give into the desire to exact revenge, how does that make us any better than they who hurt us first? We become nothing more than monsters, slaves to our own inner demons.
"You're either with us, or you're against us."
Why should we be forced to choose? Human relation is multidimensional, not so black and white as "the good side" and "the bad side". And quite frankly, I would really, really appreciate if I were able to understand everything from all sides, but I've already been barked at for implied betrayal.
The bonds created by human relations are important to me, more important than you can possibly imagine simply because I have so few tight bonds, and as much as supposed betrayal pains you, your lack of faith in me disturbs me greatly. If you decide to maintain this childish disposition and once again present me with those horrible red and blue pills, I'm sorry but as much as I'm willing to be humiliated, beaten, and tortured for your sake, as cherished as your friendship is to me, my humanity and sense of human compassion is even more precious than that...because it is that which separates me from being a mere beast of basic instinct.
What are you doing to yourself, lovey? It's all wrong now, and I can't penetrate this illusion of happiness that you've insisted on blinding yourself with.
No one ever said finding happiness is easy. Those that think it is are just deceiving themselves.
