if i knew then what i know now

If i knew what i know now i would have prayed to remain in the age of innocence. i used to think that everyone listens to their conscience, and that evil is very far since i don't see the devil, but now i am older i know, that evil lives among us, in people, in humans like me, and it is shocking, i cringe to think that anyone would hurt a fellow man, if i knew then what i know now i would have remained a child.

Human beings have lost their compassion, we now live in a world of selfishness and conceit and it makes my heart weep every time someone acts in such a manner unbecoming of a human being. Mama never said people would be so mean even when you treat them nicely. What she said was "be nice to people" "treat your neighbors well" and i have been trying to do that but when people don't treat me well i feel like bursting into tears.

If i knew then what i know now, it wouldn't have made a difference. Sad but true.
