The Day I Stopped Believing In Us

I stopped believing today.

It is just disgusting how God gave us human the single most coveted thing wanted by all his creations, and we put it all to waste. Here we are, complaining about why is God treating us unfair, how He shouldn't let the people suffer, the usual Hi-God-I-Really-Need-Some-Help-Down-Here-In-Case-You-Didn't-Notice routine when frankly, God has nothing to do with the mess that we created ourselves.

I doubt it was God that asked the father to eat his son's eyeballs out.
I doubt it was Divine Intervention that made the guy rob and murder a pregnant lady.
I doubt it was God that decided it would be fun to wage a war against a country for your own SELF-INTEREST(not to be confused with SELF-DEFENSE).

It does not matter if you believe in YHWH,Jesus, Buddha, Allah or you don't believe in any at all. The ability to think is granted to each and everyone of us. In Islam, that is the greatest gift that Allah has given to us, and how many of us truly appreciate it by putting it into good use? I'm sure Muslims out there would attest to the statement, but how many of us really do understand the power of the gift?How many of us took the idea for granted? For the sake of discussion let's create a hypothetical world where we do exercise our mind regularly. In that world

• governments will see it pointless to force their idealogies on their people or to people of different nation because they would UNDERSTAND that humans are individuals that came from different CULTURES and BACKGROUNDS that made them THINK differently.


• Hate crimes is minimized if not ceased to exist


• Man will respect one another which includes respecting other's properties, families, lives,etc


• Man will realise that it is pointless to be greedy, it's not like you're able to bury your BMWs and Patek Phillippe watches down their graves and enjoy looking at them/(ok, I've realised after writing this that some cultures do believe that they are able to take material things back, but you get my gist,aite?)

I'm not that much of a theorist, so I'm unable to give you a clearer picture, but basically, the world would be a better place if we could just THINK. And yeah, some of the stuffs mentioned are highly debatable, but it's hypothetical. Stop blaming an external force for whatever you get, and start taking the credits for yourself whether it is good or bad. Say you are given the state of the art,uber-fancy kitchen, with all the freshest ingredients for you to prepare a say, Foie Gras. If you don't know how to prepare one, and attempting to make one turned disastrous, was it the fault of the kitchen owner?(Again, bad analogy, but I'm no writer)

Our common sense is screaming to be heard, the heart wills us to listen but our idiocy prevails.

I stopped believing that mankind can act on rational thoughts.

I stopped believing that mankind is able to be kind at all.




But I do DAMN hope, with all of my heart that mankind could prove me wrong on this one.
