This is Earth, welcome to our planet; billions of humans that live on this dying rock in a vast solar system. On our planet we have an excuse for everything. If we make a mistake, we blame our 'nature' and claim we're only human; that it's in our nature to be corrupt, and we cannot control our action. Our brittle state of mind is unstable; unpredictable in response to the slightest inquiry. Handling a problem is nearly impossible, incomprehensible.

If every time someone told a lie their eyes would turn black, rarely would their eyes be their original color. The truth may hurt, but being brutally honest can be one way you can earn someone's trust. Once you have one's trust it is like a very thin rope, so treat it as if it can be broken with a delicate touch. If you have the audacity to not care about losing their trust, then you don't deserve it to begin with. If the trust is broken, you will open an abyss between you. The two of you will diverge. The trust that was once built can never stand strong again, for doubt has become the foundation. That is just human nature... right?

Strength of the mind is far greater than what strength of your arms, if you're willing to try. To be willing, is questionable. For example, are you willing to jump in front of a bullet for a complete stranger? If you knew that stranger would jump in front of you for a bullet; would that change your decision? If yes, then you are like a third of the population. Asking this question first "What can you do for me." I mean why should I do something for a stranger? I don't even know you! It isn't my problem...right? Not often enough does selflessness arise in the proper moment; or ever really. Honor, and respect is a tarnished tradition surviving in only a few.

We all know the world is brim full of antagonists in this world. It may seem like there are not enough heroes to help fight for others. That is a decision that only you can make. You can choose one of the three options: an innocent bystander, antagonist, or protagonist. You can be a sinister and grim human by choice, not by force; however, it is easier for somebody to become a protagonist, without getting shot. Simply, saying hello or holding a door could make you a central character. With every malevolent retaliation there is an equal or great resolution, and you have to select a position on either opportunity.

After the horrible and gruesome events in our past, we try and conceal the scars and open injuries of the horrific history of each individual
