Intersection 32

When disbelief and a rebellious attitude meet....

When someone has an opportunity to affect lives, isn't it a wasted chance if he or she manipulates the situation to inflict torture to young minds? I feel frustrated having to deal with the thoughts that something I cherish and want to promote is to remain a bad memory to other people just because of wrong choices of the ones in 'power'. I understand man's need for authority, the need to be looked up to. I understand man's need for success, the need for titles and recognition from esteemed bodies and parties of specific careers. I understand man's need for individuality, the need to be unique among the millions of Homo Sapiens Sapiens walking on this planet. What I do not understand is the sadistic need of some people to inflict suffering - subtle or obvious - upon their co-humans. I do not understand why there are people who would adore bathing in the expressions of torture they see from others. I do not understand how some people can appear to be compassionate and empathetic, when their horns cannot actually compare to their invisible halos.

I just feel rebellious.

While I am in utter disbelief about how my mind is processing the senseless logic of some people, I am hoping to see the brighter side of these situations. I have high hopes for humanity, not only in the optimistic views that most people can quickly associate to it. Cliche as it may sound, anyone can be an instrument of change. But having stated the most recent sentence, my mind brings me back to how some people just choose to make sour (or bitter) wounds out of supposedly good memories. I can't put in order the debating sides in my head.

Just as I have decided to write about this, I feel apologetic to the youth who become more exposed to emotional (and mental) roller coasters just because older (and supposedly wiser) people believe they have the entire right to 'feed' the youth with lessons. These people do not feed the youth. They are choking the youth. High levels of potential and creativity are suppressed (and sometimes eventually die), drowning in the 'glory' of the mentors they have been taught to acknowledge. How frustrating is it to merely know this? How bad shall it get for other people to realize the dangers of this authority-minority conflict? To what extent shall we allow this conflict to happen? For me, I write this note to expose my determination to stop this kind of conflict. I write this note as I aim to minimize the damages to the youth's power.

I hope you realize something you strongly believe in, and decide to fight for it.

Until the next disbelief,
Myra
