If you’re like me, you’re hyper-aware. You look around and realize just how incredibly dark and messed up the world is. Everything you do research into it, reading more & more stories about people from abusive homes, and other horrid stories about undeserved injustices some people are forced to face. It breaks you, how could you live in a world like this? Filled with cruel injustices and cowards who take their problems out on innocent people. It gets worst, you realize this is taking place on a humongous scale. Everyday, much much more people than you can count subject to heinous crimes and evils. Third world poverty stricken countries, where people are just happy to get a sip of clean water. But, you can’t save everyone, you can’t help each and every individual suffering.

You’re only human, and can do so much, unless you were a supernatural being you simply lack the ability to help out billions, millions of people at once. The grim reality is that there will simply always be evil in the world, abusers, rapists, murderers, and there’s nothing you can do to stop all of them at once. This realization can be extremely hard to cope with, and be comfortable with, after all everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and temperance. Which is why the law exists, but those evildoers who break such laws will always be present.
