Bathroom thoughts: random and unplotted

What makes the world evil? have you ever wondered? What makes us hurt the people we love? And why do we push them away if they are important to us? There are a lot of unfathomable things in this world.

Little by little we step into the unknowns. Everyday is a void, a dark space that hides the things that we have to and want to see.

Isn't it a wonder why those we cared for the most are often the first ones taken from us? Why do we always have to be left behind with the people that we don't like? Maybe because God knows that we can never learn to like or love those we don't want while those we adore are still with us. Maybe God knows that we can only appreciate the people around us when they are the only ones we have left.

Every human being is intrinsically evil as they are intrinsically good. We all have our evils sides. No matter how pious or angelic we may be, we all have the tendency to do evil. On the same manner, we also have the tendency to do good no matter how bad we may be.

God gave us eyes to see the beauty of the world but why do we often see evil than good. Why do we see the ugly things more often than those that are pleasant. Is it because we are born with a blindspot for everything that is good? Or is it because we can simply appreciate more those that are wrong than those things that are right?

Are we evil? Are humans really that bad? We know what is good and right yet we do what is wrong. We despise others if they do the things we know as bad but we do those things ourselves.

I guess it is true that man's greatest enemy is himself. I guess, scientists had it wrong when they concluded that we are the most intelligent of all the species. Aside from being both good and evil, man is intrinsically stupid. He knows what is right but he keeps on doing what is wrong. We are stupid enough to create things we know would only harm us in the end. We are stupid enough to submit to our whims even if we know what will happen after. We are stupid no matter how much we try to educate our selves. We know the secrets of the depths, created machines that made our lives easier, machines that made the world better yet uglier and deadlier at the same time; we know a lot of things yet we are stupid.

We are all hypocrites pretending, and insisting to the point of death, that what we are doing is the most righteous way to do when we know deep inside that we are wrong all along.

The world is full of mysteries and questions. Nobody can answer and we can only keep on questioning without getting anything. The more we try to understand the world the more the more unfathomable it becomes. We uncover one mystery then we are plagued by ten more mysteries.

Questions. Life is full of questions but it offers very few answers.
