Why are people so cruel?
Why is the world full of folks who talk behind "friend"'s backs?
Why is jealousy such a huge influence on our actions?
What is to be gained by making someone else feel horrible about themselves?

I've spent the past day thinking- thinking so much more than a person ever should.
I found out that someone who is sweet as pie to me- to my face- said something completely ridiculous and hurtful about me behind my back- and by saying this so repeatedly caused a guy who i really care about to stop calling me and stop hanging out with me. It really made me think- how frivolous are some people's lives that this is the only way they can be happy?

It makes me think twice before I speak- to go back in my head and want to applogize to everyone who I have talked about or been even sort of mean to.
I just don't understand it all...
