Monsters
Halloween is coming up and kids and adults everywhere are going to be dressing up as monsters. Some say this is celebrating that world beyond our imaginations. The truth is we are all monsters.
When we peel back the social structures that make us human, we are all just vicious creatures bent on terrorizing other people.
We hate and we are violent. We don’t love and celebrate life when that just keeps us from getting what we want.
It takes 57 muscles to love, but it takes all 850 muscles to hurt another human being because we were built to harm others.
People act surprise when they hear about a person torturing another person. Imagine if we didn’t pretend to be mortified by torture and let our imaginations run free.
Those that fight hard to help others and try to do good and live in the principle of love and compassion are just making up to the fact that they are the worse kind of monster.
Next time you are treated poorly by someone, remember, don’t be surprised because we are all horrible monsters in the inside. We really just want to take from others.
We are all monsters. Stop pretending otherwise.
