The Human Condition

.... we are all human and suffer from the human condition.  None of us can escape it.  

We try to live better, to be better to accept others as they are. 

But we do not. 

We judge.  

We try to see the world for what it is and not for what we imagine it to be. 

We do not. 

We instead retain our rose-colored glasses and choose to see the world in the manner most convenient to the truths we have accepted. 

We try to be our best selves.

Sometimes. 

At other times, we act in a manner that is the most self-serving for the moment.  

We are insensitive to our fellow travelers while expecting others to see things from our perspective. 

we suffer from selfishness, are myopic, and cruel. 

We try to do better. 

But we do not change.  

Because we are all human and suffer from the human condition.
