Why dont we believe it when somebody actually tells us the truth?
Why are we so quick to assume theyre going to break our hearts?

Why are good people the odd ones out?
I once had this idea that mostly everyone had regard for those around them.
I really believed that most people cared about other people, and would therefore act in such a way.
They lie, they steal, and they let you down.
The worst part is that we let them.
Im afraid that as the years go on, we humans may tend to develop anarchic priorities.
The reason for this, I am not entirely sure.
We begin to look foracceptanceinstead of understanding, lust instead of love, possessions instead of memories and experiences.
We lose the very thing that makes us most human our connections with each other.
We forget that we are all in this together.
What should be the human cycle of endless love has instead been replaced with an endless cycle of bitterness.
It is true that hurt people hurt people, yet still we continue to hurt each other.
Those who are generous, patient, and kind.
Those who choose to spread love in a world so full of hate.
The odd ones out.
