IS LIFE REALLY SCARY?

Life seems not to care. It seems not to be bothered about our feelings.
It provides us with what we need but does not care about how we use it.
It does not stop us when we use them wrongly, even when we use its gifts to destroy ourselves.
It can watch an entire generation wiped out via human wickedness, ignorance, or naivety.
Tears, pain, destruction, and desolation seem to mean nothing to it.
Life becomes indeed scary when good people who are in the majority allow the few bad people who are in the minority to be in charge of their affairs.
Life is scary where might is right or where justice can only be bought or given at the will of the mighty.
Life is scary when we allow ignorance and naivety to be our cherished companions.
Life is scary when we expect spirits to fight the “wars” of humans.
Life is scary when we do not feel the pain and see the tears of those around us.
Life is scary when our conscience no longer torments us when we are doing wrong.
Whenever you fall victim to life, after crying, remember to join hands in making it less scary.
At the end, what makes life scary or beautiful are our collective actions and inactions.
Exactly 4 weeks ago, I lost my mum. The pain is too much. I commiserate with all those who mourn right now.
You are free to cry, but do not allow your sorrows to worsen the scary world.
