scorn

There is too much hurt out in the world. To deal with hurt, certain people do the most insane things in this lifetime. I can't profess to understand this one bit, but I guess we all have to be true to ourselves. At the end of the day, what is right?

Recently, there was a reported case on the news whereby a scorned lover murdered his mistress in cold blood. The lover was our usual man in the office stacked with paperwork, yet he was possessed by emotion to engage in murder, and the victim was none other than his own mistress, when investigated revealed that she was one whom he felt for very deeply. He didn't take well to rejection and committed this horrific deed.

I suppose there are many degrees of insane things committed on a daily basis. Some people grade simply the most extreme things done from day to day as insane. Some people term invasion of personal space and privacy as unexplainable insanity, while others convict murder and injury as insane. To me, all are actual forms of insanity. While more often than not, we can attempt to understand where the aggressor is coming from, but it doesn't make it right. Smaller cases of insanity may go unreported in this time and day due to the lack of time and effort pledged to settling them, however bigger cases of insanity may consequently result in criminal conviction. Even though much laced with guilt, spite, scorn, angst and even depression, once done, insane deeds as such can never be reversed. Let us imagine from a different perspective, for the lover stated above, murdering his mistress is one thing all gone wrong, he could have been in denial to everyone else around him, but how could he ever live with himself? Truth be told, what goes around comes around in life. This is the sole essence of life. Kismet, Karma, many believe, if you do good in this lifetime, it comes back in a subtle way and your life is enriched, and if you do evil, it comes back around and cripples you.

Perhaps, it does help to see things from a different angle. Outright rejection may not translate into a possession now lost, but rather honesty and fairness not to string one along. It's always a lot harder to be cruel to be kind.

Let us all live this life right.
