we are but human

essentially we are all capable of doing anything.. "you can never know living in the world we live now..".

it is a depressing thought when you realize that in any given moment in time, with the given information, in the back of our minds we expect people to be monsters.. or rather capable of monstrous things.. of course until you are subject to such a time where people point to your friend and accuse him of murder, mayhem or rape you wouldn't know what you would think.. will you stand by him or her? would the countless hours or days of fun and happiness take over your mind.. or

..will that little bit of doubt rise to the occasion and make you certain of your friends betrayal to societies and your own rules and morals?.. or would you blindly believe in your friend.. your husband,wife, your son or daughter?.. "it cant be.. i know him..", "she is a gentle person, she is not capable of such horror.." would you utter these words.. would still the concepts of love and care apply to a 'monster'? ..

i guess it does.. some call it being blinded by ones own inability to cope.. or that one just isnt ready to believe in the betrayal.. but be that as it may be.. it is also not far fetched to say that it is also easy for people to believe in another person`s ability to be cruel.. i guess at least for me.. you never know what a person is capable of until they do it..
