TM Topic: Write About Disillusion
I think it's a safe bet to say people of the world today are disillusioned. They bumble through their lives waiting and hoping, never taking the time to pray. They mostly just expect a miracle to drop down on them when they've done nothing to deserve it.
I'm an angel, see. I was one of the first created. I was guarding The Gate the day the snake slipped in. That old serpent put sin in the minds of men. And women. And children, if you want to get technical. Do I approve of what he did? Certainly not. But it wasn't entirely a bad thing, either. Imagine a world where everything is bright sunshine and pretty flowers.
In a word, boring. What would be the point without the trials and tribulations? The little challenges we face every day, and the even the big ones that come along every now and again? That's what makes the world work. And it gives me something to do. I don't grant miracles, that's out of my league. But I can give people hope. I can use my influence to steer them in a certain way, toward a certain goal or even just a way of thinking.
It's not their fault they've lost their way.
