"Don't let me see mistakes and lies...Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes..."
Sometimes I wonder, why are there so much 'bad' things in the world? Deceit, corruption, scams, etc...From the little things to the big things...ranging from the simple ones to the complicated ones. Robbery...cheats...kidnaps. Fights, murders...war. Everyday when I scan the newspaper...turn on the TV news. The heartbreak, despair,hurt and anguish of the victims...Kids being abused...abandoned...Senior citizens being abandoned and unwanted...the list goes on. Human rights being violated...ignored... Not just humans...but the environment. Our earth. Pollutions here and there, ranging from all ways possible..air, water, land, etc. The animals...harmed and abused...both domestic and non-domestic. All this in the midst of the 'so-called modern developed 21st century', with all the science & technology advances/knowledge...in the midst of the 'so-called mature,developed,civilized minds of humans.' Kinda makes me wanna reply..what a pack of crap.
It's sad to know that so much is happening and nothing really, is being done. Fingers are pointed at each other...blames & responsiblities are cast on each other. How can one make a difference? Truth is, each and everyone in the world can make a difference. Big and small, young and old...Little things will make a difference. Little things from throwing rubbish into the dustbin instead onto the ground...smiling at anyone you meet...being logical and rational when it comes to solving problems...thinking about others...treating animals with kindness...respect other religions/races...etc. Small things that will make a difference.
There at nights when I would pray, please let there be peace, joy & harmony for everyone around the world. Wishful thinking? I don't think so. I still have my faith that all the cruelty and stupidity (refers to all the 'bad' things mentioned above) would stop. That people will come to understand, to see , to realize... I sound like some naive thinking kid, I know...but then again, if one loses faith...then all would be over. It's like a lit candle in a dark room, if it flickers out...then everything goes dark. But as long as there's a fire, there will be light...a sense of hope. So, I will not lose my faith and innocent eyes...but I do hope that I will be able to keep it....
