Most times we see individuals who are selfish, self-absorbed, self-centered, and with a myopic mindset in our environment and I keep wondering why and how these set of people got to this point. The point where they are no longer human but beast.
Don't get me wrong, I mean I have an understanding that in this world we have the good and the bad, the nice and the not nice, the evil and the saint, and the human and the inhumane but then, I want to understand how and when these set of individuals stopped having souls, or perhaps stopped being human.
I also know and understand that life experiences, hurt, pain, trauma, and people's actions and inactions could put us in these places but I believe that these individuals should understand life better than to inflict the same hurt, the same pain, the same actions that was inflicted upon them unto someone else especially as they realized that it changed them and made them become who or what they never imagined.
Life is a place of learning, unlearning, and relearning, and when we get to a position where the place of learning changes us into who we are not supposed to be, when we get to a stage where the place of learning kills our soul and makes us inhumane let us be conscious enough not to inflict on others who are innocent same pain that was inflicted on us, the same pain that changed us because that person may not be as strong as we were and they may not survive the hurt and pain as we did.
I know that our experiences define us, but let us try as much as possible to do away with most experiences especially if they changed us drastically into someone we wished we were not, because it becomes a generational pain and hurt, it becomes a generational experience and many people will feel the brunt of it.
