How can people be so cruel?

[Bowyn Aerrow]

People are _______. Okay if you can't say something nice, don't say anything so, I'll say nothing.

Allow me...

Humans are not basically harmless, humans are cruel, insensitive, lacking empathy, compassion and caring. Humans believe that they own everything in the world and that the world must revolve around their individual egos.

You are just getting a tiny glimpse of what humans are really like. Trust me, most have very sick thoughts and are willing and able to do all manner of horrible things. This is a general applies to the majority, not all.

The majority are sick, mostly due to a very sick society that condones the wrong things and 'penalizes' the right things. Ours is a society that applauds and cheers when two men go into a ring to beat the crap out of one another, yet ours is also the society that all but picks up torches and pitch forks and condemns two men walking down the street hand and hand.

Humans also have a small talent for war, to the point where instead of actually fighting it out to the bitter end, we make up rules and discuss it as honorable, instead of the horrible truth that we have resorted to killing, maiming, bombing and destroying because we can't use our words.

Ours is a world fixated on material gain at any cost. We live in a world were a potential president can look down on 47% of the population as 'useless eaters' because they don't have material gain. Trust me, this ideology is not just Mitt Romney's - our whole society is geared at keeping up with the Jones in what you have. Or if you prefer, your worth as a human being is measured by how many TV's, Cell phones, bedrooms, cars and other useless junk you possess.

Live in an insane asylum long enough and you become insane.
