59. human beings are very cruel

Thu Apr 21, 2022, 11:02 AM

Apr 2022

to each other. And I get so angry for this trait of cruelty we have. Religion is usually used as justification. I am reading a book on the history of torture. The son has faced and still faces evil people. The gay son has a right to love whom he loves. No other person should be butting in on his life choices as he is hurting no one. Yet that's the problem, isn't it? Some feel their power to judge is sacrosanct and they could not be further from the truth. We must fight this type of hurtful attitude with all our might. Or we will end up with a smarter trump next time. Guiding people to hurt others they feel are a danger to their stiff neck lives.

I am so sick of the outright hate and evil!!!

And the history of human beings must be changed in these modern times, if possible.
