On Human Nature

People always have a way of surprising you.  Whether its a stranger coming to your defense when you least expect it...

Whether it's that friend that you thought knew you coming to all the wrong conclusuions about you... and you end up wondering what they must really think about you and the nature of your friendship...

Whether its an act of untold kindness that brightens up your day or an act of untold depravity that shatters your faith...

Or something as simple as someone you like remembering something vague and obscure about you, making you smile all day...

The human spirit and existence is so interesting, dynamic, always changing and ever confusing... Evil yet good, pure but tainted, hopeful and faithful but still selfish, destructive and selfless... Cruelly kind and kindly cruel can happily coexist in the same being.... We're all fleshly manifestations of a number of paradoxes, essentially walking, breathing, and living contradictions...

Every day I'm tempted to give up on humanity... but every day, sometimes in the same breath, I keep finding reasons not to...
