Us vs. Them

            It’s quiet easy for the third person to think over things and say, “Why can’t we all just make up”. When we ourselves become the subject or the target, things are taken differently, at a much furious and enraging state. We can’t think logical or straight, believing what we want to believe. Closing our eyes, ears, and mouth is the biggest problem when an unfavorable situation comes before us in an argument.  
            Humans are selfish. We were always selfish. Although it may be a little, we tend to turn things around toward our side just for our benefit and pleasure. It’s funny however, how we smile at those people and cover up our true intentions and act as hypocrites. In arguments, these hidden feelings rise up to the surface. We become more honest, and reveal our deepest darkest sides that we potentially stored in our minds. Depending on the seriousness of the cause, some people aren’t able to control their temper and end up spilling everything, leading to a serious trauma. This can be taken out by profanity, violence, or through the worst, murder.
            When I usually get in a fight with someone no matter how big or little they are, I try to understand from their point of view. 100% of the time this definitely works on calming me down. All we have to do is look at a different perspective, for no one person is solely guilty in a conflict.  For most people this is a difficult action, especially for the ignorant. They are too caught up in worrying about their own feelings and stories, thinking they’re the poorest people in the world. If people actually tried to open up their eyes, ears, and heart, things wouldn’t flow to the extreme. Step outside the box for once, and we’ll be on a whole new different point of view, ready to forgive everything and everyone.
