ignorance is bliss
samantha, do you know why did this happen? even without any logical explanation? maybe, i'll understand it when i'm older. until now, i'm ignorant so i won't get hurt.
Wait, what?
this is fine when i didn't know about it, i guess the elders knows the best, so i just sit. after that i grew up, receiving responsibilities. without help to know about my capabilities, because they never recognized or learn deeply about my abilities.
Samantha, what?
everything does make sense when i'm older, and the guilts hit me hard like a boulder. how can i not know about all of this? thinking saying it "fine" is a bliss and not hurting others?
What i didn't do it on purpose, Samantha!
there's no need to be afraid or tense, it was when i used my insensitivity as a defense, while it was impactful for their hearts. did i even ask, how are you feeling?
Samantha, yes, i was young.
elders says this harsh words to them, without asking the trees what the source of the stem. internalized hatred and wrongdoings i've done, without seeing the other side of the sun.
I'm sorry.
now, i know why the adults wanted to be kids again. why are they doing that to youngsters's brains? open up your eyes, don't let it close. because i don't want you to feel bad or lost.
Samantha, you understand me the best.
When i'm older, everything makes sense. sadly, i was nothing but dense. Samantha, open my eyes up again, yeah?
Alright, i'll be waiting.

There's no humans who is born to hate other people, they are like that because of the passed down hatreds and ignorance to other people.
This is my personal experience, i once was ignorant without any knowledges of the world or society, eating up everything i've been taught without checking is it right or not.
then the hatreds grew for that specific person and when we are adults, the same knowledges never changes because we slowly become like the stubborn yet ignorant boomers who taught us.
open up your eyes and try to be sensitive with everything and everyone in this world, learn why it's wrong and why it's right but remember to keep a clear head.
sensitivity is not bad, because it means you are observant and care about your surroundings, instead of believing this means that we can't never take a joke.
we can take jokes but not the ones that hurt others, mentally or physically.
P.S. this samantha is to symbolize the people or person who help me see everything clearly.
