an end of year musing.
It's hard sometimes to see the good in people, especially when you've encountered and heard of the bad things they have done.
Tonight I learned that to see the good in people, you need to persevere in the hope of finding that little ray of goodness. I had almost given up on one person earlier, but to my surprise he delivered and proved that he's not void of humanity.
It must be painful to have a soul so empty - he keeps trying to fill his life with meaningful things, but the things that matter to him the most have left him, though not physically so. The power that he has makes him more vulnerable to being used and while he might not think so, he's nothing more than a money tree to most of the people he knows.
I was so hard-set on what I think of him, but I'm so thankful that I was proven wrong. Now, instead of being bitter about his existence, I find that I feel somewhat sympathetic towards him and the life he leads and I feel as though I can learn to understand him more instead of coldly judging him.
I'm really thankful to know that there's hope yet.
