Ugly People, Beautiful World
Growing up is kind of sucks, isn’t? The older I get, the more scary the world seems. I will turn 23 at exactly 4 months from now, and I already tasted a bit of the world and I think I don’t want to go further to taste more.
The world is beautiful and unique and at same time, it’s scary. It’s scary not because it just became scary, but because of its people. People make the world a scary place to live. It’s brutal. Survival has always been hard and we fight for money, power and even, fame. As I’m saying this doesn’t mean that there aren’t good things (or people) in the world, but there are things most people (or maybe just me) really wish didn’t exist.
The longer you live, the more you see. The older you get, the more aware of any possible danger in the world you get, especially the danger that caused by people. People can hurt you, people can make you feel worst, people can let you down easily.
When I was a kid, I thought the world is like in the Disney movie when everybody just a regular antagonist guy and there’s always one single villain and we’re trying to fight that villain together. As I got older, I realized there’s no one single villain, instead everyone can be a villain. Your teacher can be villain, you friend, your co-worker, or even your parents. You can’t trust people in this world, that’s what makes the world become an ugly place to live in.
Human is so scary. Most scary thing about human is that they can abuse their intelligence. They can create atom bombs. They can torture others. They can misuse their independence. They can make others feel helpless. Many of the humans are unpredictable in a way that makes them so scary.
I don’t know while reading this maybe you feel kind of disagree with me, but I totally get it. Maybe we’re experiencing a different set of life, but I know for sure that if you scared of life including the whole aspect in it then you see things clearly. Life is an attempt to cope with the fact that you will face one tragedy after another. How you deal with this defines you. Be careful. Not fearful. Our only chance to enjoy and make something meaningful in life comes between the tragedies.
To become live in this beautiful yet an ugly world you need to face the reality of life, which is a tragedy. Life itself is a tragedy. Life is an absolute chaos and absolute joy, all at once.
