Malice

Just how fragile are people? Sometimes all it takes to break someone is a single straw; other times, people are defeated by their own selves. Is a strong mind truly strong? The frailty of the body cannot withstand cold weapons, and sometimes a person's life is gone in just a few short hours. Without a body to house it, where can a strong spirit go? Every day, we say countless things. Words of encouragement may point someone in the right direction and help them go further, or they may lay the groundwork for arrogance. How many of the things we do are really worth doing? Does every passing second of life truly have meaning? People are complicated. Maybe what is good is bad, and what is bad is good. Maybe for no clear reason, we take a dislike to someone, or inexplicably feel drawn to them.
