Malevolence.

The world is a funny place. Most of it doesn't make one damned bit of sense. In my little life I've seen some absolutely asinine events take place, along with wondrous moments in time. Most times we have to fall in order to rise; the fall always feels worse than it is, while the rise seldom works out the way we intended.

However, we all find reasons to carry on and persevere. For some, we strive for success, or power, or passion. Whatever drives you, whatever gives you wings, whatever helps you get through your day. These motives are what make the human world go round.

These things are what I hate about the world we live in. People pushing others down for their own personal gain. Women shaming one another out of jealousy and spite. Greedy, selfish, rude, arrogant assholes are what control this world, and hey, if you can't beat 'em...bullshit.

Everyone feels like they need to be the best. The prettiest. Make the most money. Have the most degrees. Obtain the most credit. But when you sit back and look at all of that, where does it get you? If you look at what your actions actually do to people, are you proud?

I hope not.

The things that drive me are my family, my pups, my art, my love.

If there's anything in this world that makes you want to be a better human, do it. If there's something that makes you want to make yourself a better, bigger, more powerful tyrant, please take another good look at the people around you. If your family can't stand to be around you because all you do is talk about work, money, or put people down. Or if your coworkers hate working with you because you sit and try to find all the short cuts while everyone else has to pick up your slack and you're making more simply because of your lack of work ethic. Or if you can hardly spend any time alone simply because you can't even stand your own company...

Maybe you should look at how your actions are actually influencing this world. Money and beauty are but trifles. They mean only as much as you pretend they do.
