Some People Just Aren't Worth the Trouble

    There are people out there in the big, bad world that will hurt you, hate you, break you if they can. They will do this not because of any outright reason, but just to make themselves feel better. Better than you. Humans are jealous animals, and don't argue. Everyone has been there, everyone has wanted what someone else has. Whether it be a skill, friend, item, lover . . . . It is all the same.
    We are like a patch of grey on the Earth, neither good nor evil. Do you think suicide bombers are running around thinking, I am going to kill someone, here and now, just because.? No! They are people with parents and friends and homes. They think they are doing the world a favour, just like we do when water, open a door or nurture a baby. But in reality, we are just contributing to water-shortage, discrimination, and overpopulation. Everything one does has good and bad in it, and that is something we, as people, have to live with.
    Some people, though, just don't understand. They think they are right 'just because' and should be treated justly. They believe themselves at the center of everything, think the world turns on its axes just for them. Of course, it might. This could all very well be just some deranged sort of dream I am having as I type, helping the little white letters on the keys fade away into abyss. But if it is a dream then it is obviously a dream that we are all having together. A dream that we share and need to sustain in order to survive. It is an important dream, in short. Some people are still stuck in that childish mindset, I guess, that flowers bloom just for them. 
    And for those people, they don't get anything. They don't get time, friendship, trust . . . . At least not from me.

You Only Live Twice - MAP



   Okay, so here is the map I made this morning for my original story, You Only Live Twice. The story in question is currently unfinished but being posted on the website fictionpress.com, if anyone wants to check it out. Actually, I am pretty sure no one reads this, so never mind. Under the cities/forts/towns in the middle zone I either put a (F) or a (R) to represent who owns it, Felines or Reptilians. Since the only people who will see this are the readers of the story, I am not going to bother explaining about that. Hopefully it's big enough . . .

    Oh, and I might make changes as the story progresses. For instants, I might add a township, or a battle mark, to the mess above. To see it bigger double click. Thanks.
