Some are grand, but some are just people being nice despite day-to-day encounters with acts of cruelty. "Verily We create man in the best conformation, and thereafter We reduce him to the lowest of low..." (Al-Qur'an, 95:4-5) People aren't bad, they do bad stuff. The one and the same has the ability to do good in them. Witness Umar bin Khattab's life. Have faith :) The same world is inhabited by incredible acts of kindness and selflessness.

It seems as if everyone is running about for personal gains and they've just forgotten what "good" is. Good is good only until one is gaining something out of it. At times I feel I will never get what people are really like which scares me too. So I will totally second you on that. We live in a really cruel world and mostly importantly in a world which has no identity or even if it does it has a hundred million faces to it. One can never tell what people are really like or what the society is really like. Is it the one we used to read about in school in our social studies books? Or is the one where anyone will do anything to demean and destroy the happiness of the other person for no particular reason? I wish I was a small child who was unaware of life outside home and school. I so wish. All I can say that this was a really excellent post. Something all of us feel yet very few of us say.

It's horrific, because the husbands seem to get sadistic pleasure out of it And it shocks me -because all i can think is...this isnt supposed to happen... i cant blv this is happening to someone whos; THIS close to me!!!! We've all had very sheltered lives, and we should be greatful sometimes- ive been ungrateful enough to ask - why did u protect me so much. SOmetimes I;ve been so horrified at how shallow people can be that it's positively overwhelming, and i totally want to withdraw into myself because i wish not to risk being hurt again, or stunned into speechlessness. But what i've learn is - dont expect anything from anyone- and you won't be disappointed as much... ... It's easier to shut out the hate in the world that way The world is a cruel, cruel place
