Maybe it’s because the modern age, maybe it’s because we just being ignorant and don’t give a damn about others, maybe it’s because everytime I watch / read the news all that we see is a bad news (which is a good news actually, it makes you want to watch / read it doesn’t it, others pain and agony are our pleasure to watch). We just lose hope on humanity. I don’t even think that we are still maintains a humanity inside of us.
We just like a machine, we do chores, we do routines, we get up early, went to do a living, sleep, wakes up and just do it all over again (even if you try some variety in the job desc to spice things a little). Our soul are shattered by everyday life and experience, reality took our virginity, our hopes and dream. We just like a zombie, a robot.
We don't care about others, we became ignorant, we became to comfort of our own zone. We all just plain individual, not a social creature anymore.
Maybe that’s why people do crazy things, just like what happen in Akihabara district in Tokyo Japan (the killing spree, or the stab fest that happen in one of the most modern mecca for some people like gamer or cosplayer). That guy just went berserk and kill people because he just don’t know what to do, he feels helpless, no one cares for him. He feels like a failure because he failed his exam, he living a mediocre life, he even said “I’m just a trash, no even worse, cuz trash can be recycled and I’m not”.
We lose faith in humanity, and I don’t think we all are innocent and deserve to be saved. Then again, when all hope is lost, and I thought that I seen it all, I just saw “it”. When I do my chores and went to work in public transportation, I just saw “it”. I saw love, I saw a young man help an old lady crossing the street, I saw a mother breast feeding his child and nurture him, I give my seat to senior citizen and watch his grateful smile, and it makes me happy and blessed. And suddenly everything is not the same again. I regain my hopes, my dream, I believed that we all deserve a second chance to be saved.
Maybe if we just slow things a little, if we savor every moment, if we pay attention to little things (which is everything start from little things), we could see a beauty in life, we could lean back and thinking how a an amazing things we have here. We should have a little faith in it.
