Hurdles to Overcome

I used to believe the best of everyone.  This past week I have come to the conclusion that there are some people that do not have any "best" in them at all. I have finally removed my rose colored glasses.  I'm sure many people will be glad of that and are sick of my happy go lucky attitude; so to them this will be a wonderful thing.

Maybe I have been a little naïve.  I have always looked for something good in every  person I met.  I now know there are evil people in this world that would tear someone's life apart just to prove a point.  It has nothing to do with what is right or wrong.  It has to do with power.

Isn't is a shame?  I was thinking how humans are truly like animals.  An example would be bullying.  The "pack" will find the weakest person and try to ruin that persons life because they have never been taught to stand up for themselves.  They torment and sneakily pull pranks on the unsuspecting victim of the bullying.  They enjoy hurting the person, thus making themselves feel superior. 
Is this not just like animals?  Animals go for the weakest link and either kill or abandon it. 

Now here comes the hurdle part.  I need to find a way to let the evil people of the world and what they do roll off my back like water on a duck.  I need to find in my heart how I used to feel about the human race.  I know there are more nice people than not in the world.  It's just that the mean people seem to  overpower them.  It reminds me of being told that it takes five positive things said to you to make up for one bad thing said to you.  Same kind of thing.  I need to hang out with only positive people and not let the negative people in my life any more. 

I know I'm rattling on, but I really needed to get this off my chest and what better way than to blog.  Maybe one day I will post this, maybe not.

Hurdles to overcome.  Lets see if I'm strong enough to leap.
