Balance

In some moments I find myself teetering on the edge of rage. My instinct it to lash out. But it's easy to forget that those we're lashing out at are people too, and most often they're only the tiniest part of a huge societal problem. We can argue and argue for ages, and more often than not those arguments only result in one or more people being offended or hurt, and one or more people leaving with a sour sense of self satisfaction.

I like to think I've found balance within myself, but I forget it sometimes when interacting with people who are driven by pettiness and ignorance. It takes a great deal of effort to keep myself from sinking back down to that level. But I'm human; a work of art, flawed and perpetually unfinished.
