The Insufferable Eventually Meet Their Misery

I often imagine what it would be like to live in a world where everyone exists in complete peace—the only concern is choosing how to spend the day. This world would be free from judgment, where no one worries about how they look or think. It would be a space where the focus is not just on coexistence but on a shared understanding that we are not so different after all. At our core, we all seek the same things: peace, security, and happiness.

So, why is it so difficult for many to comply with the demands of humanitarianism? Why do people often feel compelled to disrupt someone’s peace and hinder their growth? Has the world become so bleak that one person’s peace must be shattered because another is disturbed by differing opinions?

Even more disturbing, we often ignore the common person’s struggle—the epitome of “if it does not affect me…” There is something to say about the selfishness involved in focusing on peace, security, and happiness for yourself when society is losing the battle. When people speak of privilege, this is it. The fact that everyone reading this has a choice in this conversation is a privilege. If you do not understand that, check yourself.

I am not saying you need to deflect your focus from your life to give it to others; I am saying you should use some of your energy to bring about significant and meaningful change in this world. I have met some great-spirited people with atrocious mentalities when it comes to saving a piece of themself for humanity. The only truth to speak about this is that when you are down on your luck, let us hope you do not meet yourself and get passed by.
