Maybe I Don't Prefer Any Kind Of Cruelty
Maybe I think that people who like to inflict pain and suffering upon other people should be thrown in with those people who create e-mail viruses. One giant eel infested mud pit. And I don't think that it matters if you think you're doing the right thing or not.
Anyone who is willing to inflict pain and suffering upon others is somehow, just wrong. Even now. Well, especially now.
I know, perhaps there are some necessary evils. Maybe. I know that we can't just let people take over and stuff. I know. It just sort of sucks sometimes. But we can't prevent cruelty without inflicting it?
Necessary evils suck. Heck, mankind in general is just awful. Not all the time, but a good bit of it. It makes me wish for Heaven. But then I think of Jesus. I don't think that life was intended to be this way. I guess we really can't officially complain, unless we've already done all we can to try to help. And we'll never be there, I hope. Life is just so hopeless. We try to help, and we make the situation worse. We don't do anything, it gets worse. We hope, we wish, we try, we ignore it, whatever. Things just never quite work out. I guess that'll stay that way until the end of the world. Until then, oh well.
