Don't Trust People Easily

My instructor once told me that "Humans are basically evil" and in my mind, I was like, "di man gud!" Later on, I learned that there are two sides of this story. According to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, "Humans are basically good" while Thomas Hobbes said that "Humans are basically evil". I told myself, this maxim, whether you choose the one over the other, truly speaks of your belief in life.  I believed in what my teacher said, like, I instilled it in my mind. Maybe, just maybe, I am too good to believe that each one of us are really good in nature.  You see, life is hard and you've got to work real harder to attain your goals. Along the way, you meet people who you'll classify into three: one, those who encourages you, two, those who tend to drag you down and three, those who will support you along the way. Then, as you grow older, you'll realized in which category these people really belongs to. You'll also realized that even the nice people have their limits too. And then, you changed. I maybe a hard nut to crack but once you made it,  you become a part of my life. I just wish that everyone stays, if not, you'll forever be in my memories. There are times when everything is blue and no one is there to listen for you. Then, you learned to put your hands together and pray. I pray that God will take the pains and hopelessness away, of being a failure as a daughter, a granddaughter, a niece; of not being able to lend a hand for those who asked for help, for being selfish, for everything that I failed to do. And so, I told myself, "Yes, my teacher is right. Humans are indeed evil!"
