where's the kindness?
Suddenly I felt like a novice in this human relations world. So clueless about how things work between people.
I found it so complex, so hard to comprehend.
Why is there a darker side to everyone and everything? Can't people just do and think as they say? There are so many contradictions that I felt so disappointed, so hard to accept... Thoughts flooded my mind trying to make sense of it all but I couldn't think, I couldn't breathe.
I didn't know what to do next.
People tell me to abandon kindness for there is none in this world, that reciprocal kindness doesn't exist... "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is all but a fairytale. That it doesn't pay to be kind.
I need to learn to be mean to protect my own interests, they said.
But I found it so uneasy, so difficult to accept. For a moment, I thought that I have been really silly and foolish all this while.
I am struggling to find faith in this world, in people again.
