Peaceful times - NaPoWriMo Day 8

Historians tell me, 

It's a great time to be alive

Not as many wars as in past. 

But is absence of darkness presence of light? 

Do human die only at battlefields? 

What about poverty and hunger, 

Disease and depression, 

And are we going to talk about quality of life? 

How one human treats another, 

Why wealth accumulation is so emphasised? 

Are the uncertainties of modern life any less? 

Are the dangers to planet not alarming enough? 

Where is the peace as humanity suffers, 

Only the source differs.

Misunderstandings are born not necessarily out of lack of understanding. When two persons are trying too hard not to hurt each other, they end up being too conscious, and hurt each other. Remember as a child you broke the china glass crockery when your mother asked you to 'handle it very very carefully?'
I thought it would be bad to argue with her while she expected me to argue back.
The confusion lead to words being said, feelings being hurt.
''It is just a small matter.'' I tell her. ''I want to come out it. I wish I knew how.''
When you don't know how to make the situation good, don't make it worse by saying bad words in anger. Let time be the healer.
