The Truth

I thought it was easier to love than to hate.

The truth is, hatred comes more easily to the human heart. 

I thought all lives were precious.

The truth is, some lives are more precious than others.

I thought religions brought peace and harmony.

The truth is, to many, religion is only a tool to spread tyranny.

What a fool I was to believe in things that are untrue!

But I would rather be a fool and believe in good things

Than be a disbeliever of human goodness.
