“The world isn’t split into good people and death eaters”- Sirius Black
This line hit me right in the feels from when Harry Potter And the Order and the Phoenix first came out. What sucks is as true as this is, as a young person we’d love to think that that’s the case. That bad people and good people exist in this world and that’s it even if it’s not the case at all. But throughout our lives the worst people on earth skim through our existence and are determined to bring us down through the deadly sins that man are victim to. From a simple act of misjudgement we are condemned to what seems like a lifetime of ridicule because people are too cruel to forget that everyone makes mistakes. And the worst of the worst continues to torment us even when life hands us a bad hand.
I heard of the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to a family ever. And yet there were people out there that used that as a base to demean and destroy someone rather then leave them be, so that they can live and get through what was going on around them. That’s where the fault in humanity starts, our inability to convince ourselves that something’s that we do are wrong, fundamentally and morally out of place and a disservice to the people who fought to make society great, even if they did fail we should respect it. The young generation that I am a part of are a victim of selfishness and just being plain fucking dicks. Our men are disrespectful and weak in mind and heart, they refuse to live in any kind of moral or ethical framework and instead decide that the things that were once looked down upon are considered the norm. Our women are just as disrespectful but play victim to an unbalanced society and instead of helping it they lose strength and give in or over exaggerate force and demean others. Now I’m not saying that everyone does this, like Sirius Black said, the world is not split into good and bad, rather we, day by day lose to the hate that keeps resurfacing, that insists that it must intrude in our lives.
But for once I saw something different that made me feel immense pride and adoration for someone who was given no respect. They stood up for themselves and their family and didn’t give into hate.
I’ve said it in a previous post that hate is the most detrimental and devastating weapon in today’s society. And the only way to stop it is to make sure that we fight back against assholes that think that it’s ok to torment people, and maybe, hopefully, change them for the better. But, unfortunately I’m not getting my hopes up.
By making sure that we stand up for the little guy, those people who continuously try and bring us down will still fight, but at least there not fighting a weak cause, at least they are feeling the wrath of compassion and unity through even just one person.
Remember the world isn’t split into good people and death eaters, but also remember that my boy Harry Potter cheated death and fucked up the most evil dark wizard of all time, and he did that with bravery, compassion, a good heart and a dead old white bearded wizard who taught him that love is our greatest trait as a human.
