Why ?

I am sitting here, wondering, why are things they way they are ? Why is there so much pain and hurt in the world? Really, it has been true since the dawn of time. It seems like human nature to be extreme. There seems to be no middle spectrum. People either love or they hate. It is no shock that humans will be the cause of their own demise. Obsessed with power, full of greed, and lacking in empathy and compassion, the world will slowly die away.
