I don't understand

1/12/2007 at 3:53 AM

I don't understand why we act the way we do. Why we act so fake, even to those who really care about us. Why we feel the need to pretend to be someone we're not. Why even the prettiest people can seriously think they are ugly. Why skinny girls can go anorexic. Why we treat people the way we do, the name calling, the excluding, and the tormenting. Why certain people feel they have the power to act the way they do. Why others feel they have no power to stand up for whats right. Why we allow other's judgement to control the way we act. Why some of us only turn to God for help when we feel he owes it to us to make everything go the way we want it. Why we can't always say no to questions that could potentially kill us, but can't always say yes to questions that could save someone. Why we constently need to point out each other's differences, whether it's race, gender, or coordination. Why we need to use jokes and gossip about other people to entertain us. Why some of us can't get together and have fun without using drugs or alcohol. Why we risk our lives to impress other people. Why friendships that mean so much can be thrown away with little thought. Why loyalty is something people only stay true to if they get something in return. Why it's so easy to blame God for what's going wrong, but not as easy to remember to thank him for everything thats going right. Why we all say we hate judgemental people, but yet i have never met anyone whos not one themselves. Why the people who claim to hate drama so much are normally the one's who create it the most.

I'm not saying I'm perfect, I actually do many of these [which is why i used we] but i don't understand why I do, or why I see others do it. But honestly the thing I don't understand the most is how people don't care. How people can not give a shit, and think solely about themeselves. This is something I always struggle with. I don't understand how someone can not even feel bad for people in a bad situation, how people can look at someone less fortunate and instead of feeling sorrow or thankful for their own life they feel disgusted. How anyone can look at a child with a disability and get repulsed by them wanting a hug. How anyone can laugh at people on the street. I just can't understand this.
