I have a dream, a dream that someday the people of the world might actually care for anyone other than themselves....
Nah, I'm being a huge hypocrite here. I'm part of this world, too, and I myself can vouch for my own selfishness. Humanity is such a perfect specimen of vanity that nothing else in this world can compare. We loathe those who rise over us and do our best to tear them down. We stomp on our enemies and spit at our contenders. We leave them gasping on their knees without even a shred of mercy or a crumb of dignity. Our pride and haughtiness at their apex.
We are so drunk on borrowed power that we forget to pay back out loans, but all the while the interest keeps adding up. Soon enough, our debts will topple us down and we will become lost amongst it. One day, fate will come to collect and will leave us empty handed. Begging and groveling for the things we have taken for granted. Only then will we realise the kind of world that we lived in, the kind of life that we led. Our regrets will consume us, they eventually will be our ultimate downfall. We can take a look around us, yet we are still blind to the truth; nothing is right anymore, nobody knows why, and nobody really cares...
