“I was confided to your loyalty and accepted by your treason; you offer my death to those to whom you had promised my life. Do you know who it is you are destroying here? It is yourself.”
Of all the animals in this kingdom, humanity is the only one to revel in its self destruction. We lie, cheat, and steal. We mar our bodies with our fleeting emotions. Consume alcohol until we can no longer remember anything, smoke until our lungs are black and charred. Why do we do all of it? We let our emotions rule everything we do in life. The human race is collectively screaming inside begging to be who they want to be, but our leaders, our friends and family, condemn us to being two different people. One wears our skin, walks around for us, going to class and interacting with friends and family, saying the things people want them to say. The other is who we are. Screaming inside our heads, destroying our minds because we cant handle who we've become. You claim to be 'real' and honest but there are things inside your head you would never let out. Things that would make society think twice. Not one person is real and honest. We can't even be honest with ourselves. But would our world be better if we had no emotion, no thought of our own? Our society is so great because we have had a few great individuals express exactly how they felt and then shared it. they opened up their soul to the world and we devoured it. We sit here squirming in our seats wishing to come clean and admit to all the wrong doing we've done to ourselves but it will never happen. Only the brave come forward and make our world beautiful.
