Warning: The following may not agree with your own views, thus I must give you prior notice of such content. Please read with an open mind and think of both sides of the argument before making a decision.

Edit: Sorry this whole document is mainly anger filled but I've got a new thing to be angry about now. But that's for next time (or not)

Recently, I've been having arguments with various people about the topic of if humans are indeed corrupted. Now, I've been reading through various articles and one struck me. It stated that humans are either: extremely talented actors who try their best to bluff themselves as well as others to the idea that they are law abiding caring beings, or undoubtedly evil underneath all their beliefs. Well probably from the way I'm putting things you may (or may not) have realised that I actually believe that humans are evil and are just shrouding themselves to the truth. Though I don't want to come out as one of those crazy people who would do almost anything to prove this. It's just that recently I've found that acceptance may be hard, but it clears the head in some cases. I know most people would shrink away from being called 'weak' or 'conforming' but I embrace such terms. (Wow I'm sounding freaky even to myself) Anyways, I think those who label themselves as being 'non-conformist' and who actually care about the world are really bluffing themselves, as probably 9 out of the 10 people don't really believe it deep inside.

I know I didn't when I used to be pro-everything-good-in-the-world, though now I think being in these teenage years, I've lost hope for humanity and its attempt to be 'saintly'. Of course, I respect people and their own perspectives (which is why I'm not one of those people who would attack you for having a different opinion) as I think, this is what makes our world go round. I mean, when I think about it... how boring would the world be without all the problems we have? It would be like a bleached version of The Stepford Wives. Though those who are suffering may be unthankful to my opinion, I understand where they too are coming from. I mean who wants to be in such a position of starvation/racism/religious persecution etc. Though I'm just saying, without our problems our world would be extremely boring, and we'd just manipulate one another into corruption once again. Which links back to the idea that humans are indeed weak. Then again when I think about it, every living thing would probably have such a weakness too. So really it's not a weakness anymore. Though humans seem to exploit this weakness more, for example: training animals, creating laws etc. It's all about boxing and conforming us, but it keeps the world running.

Hmm... I think if I read this again another day, I would think I'm crazy. Well... it's more for venting my thoughts. Sometimes I hope for a better world, only because I know if I don't I'll probably curse myself into such a life (fate is fickle). So it proves at least I'm weak and I'm able to accept it and not joke to myself. A pet peeve of mine would be people's inability to accept it.
