it's all about the yin & yang.

these days it's difficult for me to read the news without feeling sad, agitated or pissed off - sometimes even all at once. we've come a long way since the Stone Ages yet the stupidity of modern mankind never fails to astound me.

the top 3 blood-boiling headlines in the past week are articles in relation to -

* ignorant people - not because they are that way, but because they choose to be.
* animal cruelty - assholes who torture and mutilate a defenseless puppy should receive more than just a hefty fine and x amount of jailtime. after all, it is the Golden Rule to do unto others as you would have others do unto you; let's see this in practice when carrying out the sentences of these heartless killers.
* murder of innocents - let's face it, this happens everyday... but when a toddler is put into a dryer, spun on a clothesline and kicked in the head by her own mother, you have to wonder what this world is coming to.


having said that, i believe it is important to keep abreast of the current happenings in the world because shunning it would be equivalent to a life in denial. with good news the bad must also follow, for one cannot exist without the other.

it's all quite simple, really. humans are capable of anything, from crazy inventions that were once thought impossible to the destruction of the world and life itself. the world's smartest scientists are scrambling over the discovery of a life-prolonging elixir, yet there will always be deranged people who continue to rob others of their mortality.

is there a cure for inhumanity?

what if the world stopped caring?
