The Observatory at 3am
Men and women are such beasts to each other.
Each claims to understand the agony of heartbreak, yet in the next moment they are seen to inflict such pain upon another person. As if they believe it is their words that make them what they are, not their actions.
Sometimes I wonder at how badly we use each other. How much thoughtlessness and callousness we indulge in! And I wonder at how we bear it.
We are flawed, but I believe we have it in us to be gentlemanly creatures, both men and women. Can it be so difficult to simply be kind, have regard and respect for another, to be courteous, to be honorable and loyal? It's not rocket science, people.
'But it's boring', said a friend. Perhaps she's right.
