I do not understand

I do not understand

Why the world hates us so

Why the ones we love are the first we hurt

Why in the end all we have said and done is pointless, and yet it is the greatest point ever made.

But most of all I do not understand

Why misunderstanding leads to distrust, and distrust to hate and war

I’ve seen those who are misunderstood be mocked and harassed to the point of breaking just for being different

I’ve seen them hurt and broken, but I have also seen them change the world, so why do we hate them so?

What I understand the most is the human fear of change.

Change is constant and so is mans fear of it.

We never know what tomorrow brings and we hate not knowing

We see people who bring change and lash out at them

We ignore them and mark them, because they have abandoned fear and we have not

But to abandon fears to change and we fear it
