Troubled

I dwelled in a placid environment, nurtured by a tranquil family.

Never could I remember instances of siblings’ rivalry and my parents having a square fight since the day I reached the age of reason.

I am always longing to spend the rest of my life living in serenity. The usual way of living I am accustomed to.

There are instances, however, in my present life that keep me troubled. I marvel on the potentiality of a ferocious tiger, bone-crushing-clawed eagle or, taking the example of a softdrink commercial, bad cheetah living with a peace loving dove or tamed dog/cat in one domicile. Is this set-up possible? It’s difficult to imagine, right?

In the case of human family, the likelihood of a member, behaving like wild animals, living with a disciplined and nonviolent dweller is much likely possible. A serene atmosphere, however, is hard to achieve. But like fierce animals in Safari, people, no matter how stone-hearted, have a soft motherly side.

Human behavior changes and adapts with the environment. A placid ambiance breeds a calm behavior. It is an atmosphere I am comfortable with. A violent free environ.

As depicted in the softdrink ad, like a ferocious cheetah tamed by human hand, people’s harshest behavior and attitude aren’t thorny to transform them into a more compassionate and humane one.

People dwell with ill-mannered and ill-tempered individual because they believe that they can be transformed. Moreover, human dignity is relevant than human attitude.

Some human still wrangle being accepted as what/who they are even to the extent of tolerating their awful deeds. That I strongly oppose. It can never become acceptable no matter of time.

An unlawful criminal could be community’s best asset someday somehow. A two quarrelling fellows could be a loving married couple in the future, as in the case of my elementary classmates.

Human, no matter how harsh they are, have the capability to be good. Moreso, they are created in the goodness of God. What bother me are those people who are hard to recognize their shortcomings and take a leap to bettering them. I can’t have a sound rest if I’m badgered by the thought that some tiger-like being will choke my throat on my slumber.
