Multifaceted world.

Humanity is luck enough to occupy a glorious earth, with wonders and beauty that is unmatched. A world, like it's occupants with a multifaceted personality, serene beauty with extreme violence. A beautiful little frog too poisonous to touch. A peaceful plant that eats insects. Hunters and prey.

So too are the people who occupy this world. A loving husband that abuses his wife. A young life who takes a gun into his school and kills mercilessly. The world, and it's people, are not what they seem. The surface is only the surface. Beautiful but deadly. Survival of the most cruel. Is humanity merely echoing the world we live on? Personally I do not thing so. Nature does not disguise it's anger and violence, those that are prey and those that hunt. Nature warns other nature of the impending hunter. A person hides their affinity for violence behind a fake smile and charming demeanor.

A multifaceted world. (I wish they were real!)

Me, myself, this man writing the post is no different. I can be a loving person, but another facet of me can be cold and without sympathy. A warm smile to hide a deep depression. A laugh to hide the tears. A world of complete opposites in one body.  We have perhaps evolved in humanity to be able to hide that which would make us unpopular or unliked. A defense mechanism that we develop from childhood perhaps? I suppose it is only natural. The animal world are grouped my species, so they cannot be rejected. It is a simpler world that that which we live in. That being said, imagine if all the various types and personalities only stuck together in packs. What a boring world we would become. Would we not take a step back in evolution if that would happen?

The problem as I see it, is not the multifaceted person. I like that about humanity. It is the lack of understanding and acceptance of our facets. Humans are renound for denying the parts of themselves that they do not like. Oppression eventually breaks through, and mostly violently. If we accept the fact that we have a violent facet in ourselves, and accept it, we can change it slowly for the better if that is what we choose. Acceptance is the first step in changing something you find a problem. Like an alcoholic that admits that they have a drinking problem. It is actually a simple solution to a complex problem I believe.

So there you go, more happy ramblings from my head. Tune in next episode for more exciting stories!
