Justice, betray, lie and truth

I have been very sad and hurt recently, and I felt again that the feeling of being betrayed by someone you trusted is very cruel.

Why are kind people always the ones who get hurt, why do people betray me, why should I be put through so much, this world is too miserable for me to live in.

Almost half of the countries in this world right now are in conflict, civil war or war, and especially recently the Israeli-Palestinian issue is often discussed on social media. Not long ago it was Iran, and before that the Russia/Ukraine issue. Each time, articles and other information were spread on the Internet, and I thought it was righteous to spread the news and participate in demonstrations, and even if some people called me a hypocrite for doing so, just showing that I was interested in the issue was better than doing nothing.

However, after coming to Canada, I thought that might not be the case... Is the person a good person because he or she spreads articles on social media often? Do they feel like they are saving people's lives just by participating in the protest?

If you pay attention to the daily lives of those who are involved in such activities, you will see the sad fact that they are usually doing it for their egos. Not all of them, of course.

There is something called "Self-licensing" or "Moral licensing" in social psychology: when people do something good, they do something bad afterwards, and they justify the bad things. I feel that this is especially prevalent in social media.

For example, when I used to work in a restaurant, a group came into the restaurant after participating in a protest. They may have stood up for their people. But what about the moment they returned to their daily life? They were rude, self-centered, and complained to the servers. I even became angry, wondering if those who cannot be kind to those closest to them have any right to uphold justice. Is it okay to offend others as long as it makes "their people" beings happy? It can't be that way. That kind of thinking is why wars will never go away.

People tend to forget we are all just human and we all live in the earth, not a country.

I really want to change the world. So I continue to study single-mindedly, and I don't want to give up on that, nor do I recognize that it's a good thing. Because it is just my mission. I will make people happy, starting with those around me. If I have done something wrong, I apologize honestly. I give thanks for everything. The first gift we receive after being born as a human being should have been love from our parents, but before we know it, we forget it.

This world is too cruel and too beautiful.

I hope that those who have had the bad day are happy before they go to sleep.
