the problem with the why

People say that they hate the world today.
-Or that they hate the corporate scemes, politics, certain world leaders ( who really aren't leading the way for anything promising at all), or even their neighbors....
Too bad the blindspot is why that hate is there , why those things are now seen in sich a negative way is missed. The downfall.
The selfishness -with no means to an end-. There lies the wreckless abandon. There we see the evil we truly disagree with. It's more than politics and religion, its far more touchable and humane than those things. People out to prove freedom and love at the expense of others, for the sake of self...its ridiculous. Now, what I find, is that we all hate evil itself. Unless you are one of the common people who, today, are apathetic and disagree with anything about hate. In your cases then, you don't disagree with the evils in the world today at all, let alone the evil I'm speaking of. How invisible evil is hey? We never see it coming, we just see it once it arrives and is settled. In the visual side-effects. The poverty, disease and uncivil wars. Pity we don't learn from the past in order that we may see the evil coming sooner than later. But no, the closer we pretend we are, the worse off many others are becoming. The nameless souls and countless test runs on societies that fall and arn't invested in further so they may pick themselves up again...how convenient.
No. What I hate is the evil. The evil alone. I live and love that we may conquer it.
To conquer the evil that got friends in high school down a road of abortions, the evil that left them longing for a false, temporary love or good feeling in themselves and stopped them from seeing something greater. Or maybe the worser, stole from them the strength and courage to keep fighting the battles we come across in life, the fact that everyone is priceless and worth the world. Worth dying for...
hmmm. the evil that breaks into personal lives through gossip, jelousy and insecurity...it breaks friendships, trust and hearts ..I hate that evil too.
-Victory over the relationships, friends, political downfalls, the religiously ignorant...its what I long for in loving the Good. Honestly, to take hold of the evil that attempts justice, according to our lack of conviction and common morality, seems a worthwhile thing to invest in on a longterm journey, no?
To take up the weight of others selflessly, trusting the Good and Love will prevail, is only so difficult for some because they don't want to lose what they feel they have claim to. How dare we give up our beamer so that a family can live and eat elsewhere. We can't even clean up our rubbish from the tables of maccas or subway..not even christians! So how can we possibly take a stand, grab hold of a responsability bigger than our pop or fries container? If evil had names and categories, perhaps lazyness deserves first place. And why is it so hard for us to walk by rubbish and pick it up, placing it in its rightful place?
If we take a stand in the right way, we can put anything in it's rightful place.
Be it rubbish or global warming, we need to clean up our acts. Pieces of bravery, love, hope and the will to fight can slowly fall away in us if we don't stick up for what is right.
When we don't stick up for what is right over time, we forget what is.

What I hate is the evil.
All the precious life wasted as others justify theirs with all scales of injustice.
I hate the rubbish we don't clean up.
...sitting on the table we eat off of, right under our noses.
If we could only take the time and effort to see far enough.
If we could just reach out,grab it, get up and take a step closer.
If we would put it in it's rightful place...
- could you?
