I believe there’s a monster that each of us know very well, regardless of the cultural backgrounds and language. That monster is the face you see in the mirror every morning when you brush your teeth. Yes, the truly horrific monster is you. At some point in our life, some people more often than others, we can be seen and considered, by our peers and by ourselves, as heinous monsters with a thin layer of human skin. We are naturally born selfish. We do things to satisfy our desires and sometimes disregard those around us. Some of us are more benevolent than others and some of us are more sinister than others. At the end of the day, we would feel very pleased if our actions did ourselves good. But often than not, there are many other people get trampled by our actions in achieving our goals and satisfy our desires. In the eyes of those who suffer, we are no better than monsters, who terrorized their day and brought it to ruins. The same goes for vice versa; when our days are leading to a downward spiral of unhappiness by our peers when their selfish actions make themselves the beneficiary, and us the victims. We can even be the monsters to our own lives. There are times when we doubt, suspect, and lie to others and to ourselves. The paranoia causes distrust between you and your peers and, this paranoia can lead you to commit actions that are regrettable and monstrous. The doubt, suspect, and lie can also be applied to ourselves. Sometimes, we would doubt our own capabilities, suspect our own confidence, and lie to ourselves that we are really not that amazing, when in truth, we are all very amazing people. This leads us to self-destruction and a road to somewhere where the happiness doesn’t linger and positive thoughts fade to nothingness.
