[An Escape of Emotion] One more try to understand this World ....

I used to think that to be happy in life you needed to be good to others. It might be the way I was educated,  the way I suppose to direct myself through, in this World, it was by doing good to others and by trying to remain humble.... so far so good, my mother's teachings work perfectly 'enough', specially here in Japan, but only that ... 'enough'.

For moments (speaking sensibly) everything point towards one direction, that by doing good to others you can open yourself doors, it would ease you way through in life among men and women and therefore, in the long run self-fulfillment and, who knows, success and happiness would come ... despite my thoughts are not that far from those of the foremost World's peace makers and philosophers,  the more I look around the more puzzled I feel and … disappointed and exhausted of trying to understand your World.

It appears to me that the World belongs to the evil, and not to the good; if one wants to do more than 'enough', if ones wants to be a bit better for you or your family for other, then, rather than to be a good person simply, one needs to be a bit evil, or worst ... being evil pretending being good ... :( the World appears to be of those who cheat and take away in the first opportunity, forgetful of others and oblivious of their careless actions towards people around them, even if they had helped them in their way through. Being humble in many cultures can be seen as a sign of weakness perhaps some even would see in those humble persons an opportunity to profit, an opportunity to take away ...  

Yes indeed, wherever I see, as he says, true intentions are ulterior in all kind of human relationships. Nobody gives away thinking in what they can have back. Gifts are not gifts but decoys of caring, a tit for tat practice, a strategy, a way to ally to stay alive in the game of life. 

If every people have a dream and the the World itself is built of dreams, why is that there are people who cannot see that the worst they can do is to take away other people's dreams, damaging their heart and their good within?
